Plagiarizing Phrases
I plagiarize the phrases
That I recognize as me,
My inmost tendencies.
I could not say it better
And it’s all been said before.
It’s all been said,
And there’s not that much to add.
In praise of someone
That you like,
Like Baker Nicholson’s Size of Thoughts
“utterly idiosyncratic”…
…‘noticing things that no one else does’
Well, I think that’s me,
And by the way,
It’s from The Village Voice,
The Rolls Royce of discrimination.
In my estimation.
All those things, like
“universal and eccentric”…
playful, large and small…
well,
If I steal a praise,
(I mean a phrase)
I’m just in practice
For accepting,
Just accepting.

in 2011, the processes creative thinking meditative, the processes II
Dry Title, Exciting Content
Full of imagery
The poet names; names that I,
Concrete as street,
Concrete as feet,
Cannot connect and never buy.
Electrifying is an essence,
Evocative, what sings
the mind
Which makes the thought,
Creating dithyramb and sonnet,
Troubadour and laureate.
Muse that muses uses thought
To give up thought
To come to truth.
Titles howsoever dry,
Can modify.
Titles howsoever dry,
Change lives.

Repeat
It’s like a mantra –
All this repetition.
Working out and on…
It could be madness in another.
Not in me:
I’m too concrete.
That I repeat
Has meaning even I
Don’t penetrate.
I do not hate it -
I accept and carry on,
Presuming its importance.
Perhaps each has its nuance
Never there before.
Not going round in circles –
More. But I,
Who make no effort to deny it,
Let it come
From…
Where, it doesn’t matter.
Cells that chatter also have importance
To the peace and power and bliss –
And the knowledge giving this.

Are we all like that?
Repeating till we think
We’ve got it right?

Sometimes not?
Confirmation? Working out?
Learning?
Lazy habit?

Somewhat Aphasic
Somewhat aphasic,
Not a speaker,
I can write instead,
And do
Because I’m slow
And need the time.
Do I dare an interview?
TV program literary,
Authors answering so cleverly?
I, sent back to, running to
The paper, my
imaginary reader
In my in my mind my sites,
To play with word, idea rhythm,
Played out
one against the other.

Notes from the Overground: Thoughts On Touring
Book, cd, performance, what!
I do not want to tour.
An effort that I could, if forced
But see through the illusions:
All-inclusive energies –
Pushing, meeting, signing,
Introducing, marketing;
Hidden bragging
Sell and spread.
Every night a hotel bed.
That!
Everybody’s doing it.
Television’s full of it:
Reputation in a wink –
They think.
There is no quick.
Success invalid,
Success a pallid despot
With a jealous eye
Towards quick eternity:
We want to be remembered.
It’s genetic – since the days we were Neanderthals
(DNA 3-4%)
Confirmation from the grip, grope, group
That grabs you by the gargling throat.
It’s poetry
That’s fun.

in 2010, a sense of the ridiculous, circling round energy, meditativeII, the processes creative thinking meditative
Connecting
I make the connection -
Then I write.
You do it again!
I think some thoughts,
A kind of sending;
People call,
Form,
A poem;
Artistry, inventiveness,
Day enhanced.
Questions answered.
Who could ask for more-m?
(I liked the rhyme).

in 2010, the processes creative thinking meditative, to the child mystic
A Vehicle Of Truth
Spark to spark
From lingonberry hills
Surrounding.
A reminder; moment’s sending;
A surrender in the sending.
Visions, no –
But I can see, I can imagine,
I can think.
And with the little that I know
I can distil – and do.
A central point;
Two central points;
Two points: me, you,
You, me.
I analyze unconsciously,
A moment’s yes, my distillation:
Turning up-
Side/inside down and out.
And sending one lone spark.

Thesaurus
She reads, she hears.
The stuff goes in
And does its thing.
Pebbles grind to sand.
Transformation,
All its nuance:
Changes; major, minor –
Modified in any case.
Alteration, metastasis,
Mutation of the brain, the gene, the DNA.
In the end transmognified:
Metamorphosis.
That’s the way it works.

Applying Ernest Wood
The artist in his limitation
Uses will, thought and affection;
Has ideas that someone needs.
Uses will to form intention.
Voice, the song, the pen or paper:
Tools to use: the thought computer.
Done - the form released.
That special act of concentration eased,
He’s pleased.
