OCTOMATIC MAN

FRIENDS!!!

What is sup?

Well, I told you 2 things last time—that I was going to start doing automatic writing again, and that I was going to do adventures in the bathroom—me the most uncourageous person in the world finally using the men’s room in the post-Trans revolution (phase 1) Trumpocalypse.

I’m happy to report that on my bathroom adventures I’ve found them to be unobtrusively occupied & well-kept. In other words, there have been no “adventures” and I’m glad about this & I’ll let you know if anything adventuresome happens, but it may not be the life-changing experience I thought it would be : ))

However I do have some automatic writing (aka stream of wheat aka Vogon poetry aka classified NSA gibberish) for you. I am a little rusty at since being on big pharmaceuticals for the past 3 years but it’s all coming back to me : )

VOGON: Jan ’18

(+ a few from Dec)

Slice the fog w/ 10 swords
I’m as paranoid as they come
Seriously tired poor wretched
Nibbled toes of Liberty
Pledging allegiance to the basement pizzeria
Slinging sex gangs
7381 Suicide Attempt Hotline
But where is the rest? I’m not gonna make it
Up the silo
Where’s the rest of the leopard print
Outside lines, outside spot
Coloring books for institutionalized adults
If they have you in effigy, they have you
The masque of the MRA v. permanent yoga pose wave 3 feminist (albino-neutral)
Reverse downward dog
Take it to tarantula photoshop
I’ve walked out w/ your images
Stuck up jerky
iMovie rendition of all the beheadings I never watched
All the stop-motion intent w/ which I live
You’ll pray for you
I’ll pray for me.

********************

Construction on new head space
Began in early ’14
Before I fully understood
How much new junk I’d need to shove in there
I’m the human Univac
Purring through the slats

I can’t possibly hang more diplomas
And yet I must if I’m to board the ship
Where I applied to work for the cagey bee

I want to know the people of America like lovers

Like cameras
I want to see through their yellowed lenses
Bluing the world into
Something calmer than it is

I want to filter my thoughts
Through the pages of the phonebook
Weeks of doorstop poetry

I decide to use it
Instead of big dumb Pharma’s tampons &
Their tax-attached strings

Loophole Sunset Cervix

************************

You grew like money from the ground
A green baby waving limbs
At a time when rockets
Can’t seem to reach space
Did you see the special effect it left in the photogenic atmo?

You’ve been killed, my refugees
And it makes me want to kick your corpses &
Spit on your graves
Because loving you, shedding my tears like
Sophisticated sprinkler systems all over your roots,
Gave me a joy that made all the sadness worth it…

You flop on your backs
Choking on ancient icebergs
Stomped to death by the sun

0111:0625a

I’m pretty sure my heart’s not red
It’s succulent & green
Wet like a reptile (to the eye not the touch)

I recognize you, Princess
My rival in androgyny
What world did I paint w/ all these invisible inks?
A trail of dewdrops
Leading to a future that glares
Silver-colorless, 
A close up that reminds me
We’re full of liquid rust,
Embarrassing green jellies…

Will the Presidency corrupt the Oprah?
Do you understand what I’m saying? Celebrities running for office?

Gore (Al) & Gore (Vidal)
bringing Hollywood to the shining opposite sea &
Washington all emotive, fluttering fans &
Going off script

There’s nothing we can do

I’m more afraid of Pence
His deluxe model Naziism
Scarier than the clown antics that pass 
For leadership
And then there’s Mother
With eyes like oil spilled
From a tiny car. SAD.

What’s happened since the last time I did this?
Too much to list.

Stuff no one would believe.

I live in a world I can’t trust to be there each morning
A world more scary than the one I painted
Last decade
And yet some beautiful details
Included in the hellish landscape (oops, topography)

No soothing aloe for sociopathy
You’ll have to resort to the bitter metals
Brewed at the pharmacy
Doled by millennials w/ neck tats

Your brain wears that dust like gold
Can you believe you retrieved that memory?

I was silenced; you were encouraged to speak

Why am I still angry?
I thought that would go away one day
Especially after all those tears
All that ancient sadness
Plundered from its chest
My chest

So… a little rusty
A mechanical puppy learning to drool
in the Age of Aquarius
Smiling from clavicle to clavicle
From sea to radioactive sea

*****************

Tell Them How You Really Feel

You sent me here w/out a handle. w/out a lid
So when I boiled over no one
Could take me from the stove

A blast furnace bending glass
A sagging bottle of fire
How much burning cools the herd?

Mentored by flames,
You are indeed hellbound
Unclothed uncamouflaged Shemperor

Airspace One
Airwave sizzle w/ warning
Of heirloom tomatoes mushrooming w/ disapproval

You bomb onstage
On blitzen und donder
Heil Hitler w/ one little finger

You’re fired…

And no hard cinnamon candy button
As consolation

0123:0225a


Speaking of cinnamon
Let’s sprinkle some on these cremains
A sweet coffee ocean scorched
By the orangest element

Hard butterscotch soda
Tarantula toes tickle that
Sensitive delta between us &
Novosibersk & Pyongyang

Unputined
Put under
Nup unit
1 tuna pun

Boy you said it

There’s just no sense there
Quoth the scenery, I owe him
His sacred Rent

The oligarch waiting 
To amputate
My thumbs w/ a sharpened dollar bill

Is that how I came here
W/ no handle, no lid?
W/ no magic (or even practical) wand?

No tempting cinnamon button
Glistening w/ power
No pulse, no produce
Just eggs in a cauldron

An unattractive alchemy
Dummy sex 
W/ a vertical frown

0123:0250a



Music is News
To my ears
Here we go on the evolution
Park/ride

Here,
We don’t evolve 
As much as stretch

Lengthen on tippy-toe
Reaching a layer of self
That was previously out of reach

Peeling it away w/ no onion tears
Phony emotions have grown
Into computery feelings

The boy w/ nail polish taps
‘Emotion’
Onto his not-computer screen

And cries deep inside
For his mother
W/ no outward glitches

They (the wealthy
Coastal educated prog
Ressive bleeding heart
Libtardo cabal) said 
‘Art is Dead’

In the 40s they said it
In the 80s they said it

But Art is more like The Moon

Flexing & waxing
Retracting & extending
Making porn in the sky

A divine whore
Fattening each monthly decade
2010s a difficult one!

We are mid-revolution
Scrambled, breaking &
Omeletted eggs stuck to the cauldron

Some recognize this
And some keep waiting for it to start
But we’ll look back at NOW

& say That was no present

0125:0150a

1988,
What was it all about??

It was like time held me down &
Raped me

Then forced me to go to work
In a factory wearing
A flowy impractical clownsuit

Caught in the gears
I’m no longer allowed
To say I was sent here in the wrong body

It’s for progress &
the next generation

But how shall I say it?

It’s okay that people know
Your insanity as well as
Your accomplishments

But man was I born in the wrong body…

0125:0225a

[oh
Oh
OH

Don’t remove the Clintons from the equation
She wanted a candidate (opponent) she
Could easily beat; didn’t count on Putin]

*******************

How did we used to do this—
Know the world thru our fingers?

Private tours thru
The next level of awareness
Led to lots of angel-talk
But no clothing removal

Led to lots of soldiers
Crying in my ear
But no end to the war

I started a thought in the dark
But the thought grew filaments
It was light

Because
It was a thought of Gumby
Prone in a state of gumbo

An orange stew (for instance,
Did you even know there was an
Election in Russia tomorrow?)

How will we hack it?

By going to war w/ China
Finally paying for all that
Pipeline & drywall & panda bacon &
Suicide

0129:0125a

DOTS!!!!


I’m a Fool
An uneducated Fool!

But here I am alone w/ time again
After it tried to hurt me…

No right or wrong side
But middle of the tracks
Their helix straightened 
W/ an iron
Called locomotion

Ssshhh..I’m trying to hear,
Not think…

My poetry turned into thoughts in 2012
Big abstract detached worms leaving my ears
Through sinking ratholes on a ship tipped up

Tethering corona to sun
You had a blast w/ those eggs!
Nothing hatched, well…actually

Some tiny perfect chicks
Unviable on the internet, 
Too peckish for screen culture

They’d never quite find 
Their niche, never make it
Onto the blacklist

0129:0125a

Behind the proscenium lies:
More lies! Someone who
Believes he lights the way
Is actually a darklord carrying in his Armani
Exchange pockets
The seeds of a painful
Civil uprising


The thinking & the feeling
Will go at it again

And compromise somewhere
On the Wheel of Fortune

  1. Automatic Writing transcends Vogon Poetry with its razor thread of truth and disassociated insight. At first it is hard to follow. It seems to be all over the place, but if you do not think about it the words turn into images that weave it to thoughts that are not always coherent but emote a meaning that is more a feeling than a fact. Your words become a spade that tills the earth and plants seeds of which some become whole plants blooming in splendor and others weeds that cling to the memory and change the texture of the mind salad.

    My favorite line is "We don't evolve so much as stretch." A simple insight yet telling in its random truth. Sometimes I think there is a code. That if I read very fast taking lines at random I would gain a different meaning. I would stretch in a different direction.

    Always love the art work. It is as mind bending as the stream of insight they accompany. I look forward to more of both in the coming installments. Scramble my brain with words and images brought fourth from some other place. Help us to see around corners and into the corpse eyes of truth.
