"A film so new it looks confusingly as if it might be a failure..."
--Truffaut on Renoir's La Regle du jeu
"[Stay in] your own movie" --Ken Kesey
each day, a liberated debut
a "love-and-guns-on-the-run".
my Western spawns a steed
and critic upon the saddle
cracked with a blackboard
and palette, a pop of fire love,
a loose heirarchy. I'm a comedic
birth, an auteur theory, a summer
recording of the sea, an automatic.
nine minutes and 46 seconds
in the Louvre, the house
has no address. i care about this.
who dislocates a clarinet
in this sequence truth
gets confused and each man frames
father, director.

BAD SEX
Thanks for everyone who came out last night to the Chicago chapter of NOW's event...thanks to Kimberly Lojek and Jocelyn who mentioned this poem. Cheers!
BAD SEX
Amount of stubble, girth, hygiene, duration, intensity of emotion or impact,
amount of sighs released, body type, height, incorrect tongue usage, wrong place,
wrong time, wrong position, wrong words, wrong co-host, wrong couch, hair pulling, stepped on my oh, your ugly feet, a rash, a distracting mark, your muscles, a pubic penalty, too quiet, too loud, unreal, unbelievable, demanding, too serious, too flesh, too flippant, too soon, two of us, not having what we can conjure under batik sheets alone with false jewels, the family jewels, false promises, no breakfast, no sleep,
the hurting, the shower, plastic eyes, paper porno turned dark, turned drunk, what happened, what's next, what's this?
players said jazz could be bad-good, like kitten skin, like "that's BAAAD SEX, man"
like, that's sex in granite, that’s sex with ingredients, like that’s healthy sex, or immediately after imagining your mother or your mons Venus bruised or pons electric
saliva after whiskey you fell in love with me I was antibiotic, a dormant case of frustration and forcefulness, didn't exactly stop it, remained neutral like the television, a station of crossed legs and stomach. so there was the erect mirror, the cognac sunlight, the studio, the wind's rape, the audience, the parking, the discussion, the apologies, the money, the lake, the steering wheel, me all cream and hunger, an ashamed crisp production, the color-correction, the fade out, you the patron saint of lobster, casual and wrapped in fleece.

Go Lithuanian Women!
VILNIUS - Dalia Grybauskaite is set to become Lithuania's first female president after a landslide victory with almost 70 percent of the vote in her favor, early results from the Central Election Committee show.
51 percent of the registered electorate turned out for the vote in the first round -- enough that no second round is required to decide the winner.
Grybauskaite, the incumbent EU budget commissioner for financial programing and budget, had more than two-thirds of the vote with more than 85 percent of ballots counted.
Her closest rival, Algirdas Butkevicius, the leader of opposition Social Democrat Party, came second with 11.7 percent.
President Valdas Adamkus congratulated President-elect Dalia Grybauskaite. on winning the presidential election.
"I am greatly delighted that the people of Lithuania demonstrated strong political will and elected the new president of Lithuania in the first round," Adamkus said.
President Adamkus further said that he and his team were ready to work together with the president-elect and her team to ensure a smooth handover of office.
Despite the majority win for the president-elect, who will take power on July 12, local media has been focusing on her sexuality and marital status.
Grybauskaite has worked as Minister of Finance and also worked in the Lithuanian embassy in the U.S.A. She holds a black belt in karate.
She has been EU budget commissioner since Nov. 24, 2004.

FROM COLLABORATIONS AT RAY'S IN 2007
ELECTRIC MISERY THIS RELIGION
The Madonna gone to Detriot,
pigeon-toed and poppy-hot, covered
in sand, each granule a mist of verbs
and stench. What occurred that summer,
the rise of a sausage painter, the pig
aristocracy, the red, red vacation. We made
the mattress sing with the high pitch of dogs
crushing coconuts—luscious white angst.
We misfits, we birds, we formidable dust,
we Hester Prynne girlfriends of suspicion
possessing nothing but the history of our
own skin. “Skin,” he says, “Skin is useless.
Take this to the saints and see what 5-inch
cleavage will leverage for foreign language.”
Girls spin into symposiums, radiant
and cold, Each a tabula rassa, oh, Austria,
you paint us mother and saviors.
LIGHTNING CIRCUS: 1973
Lanterns thresh in the wind.
In a working-class district, a son
finds a packet of orange malaria
tablets behind the archetypes
of empty uniforms, each soldier
detailed and dreaming of young
sweet pepper epaulettes, tiger-heeled
shoes and a juniper pistol grip.
In Rome, a distastrous cup of jam
with a twist of bile sits, a picture
of St. Luke, the year of his birth.

I HATE WHEN I BUY SOMETHING AND THIS HAPPENS...
"It's not just big ticket items that can be dead on arrival. Consider this $7.50 'bargain' video game purchased from a Circuit City store, which appears to have been chewed up by a robot."
