S.A. GRIFFIN
Straight & Crazy River John Dorsey's Birthday Poem hanging at the local cafe drinking copious amounts of coffee experiencing liftoff thru the poem : d.a. levy johh macker the beautiful brunette laughing over a good book off to my left wanting just to say hello stranger you are so damned beautiful but not wanting to shift her rhythm not wanting to scare the shit out of her because some tall bald no one wants to see her sweat & moan but of course it would never happen except maybe on a crowded elevator carnival ride between floors going up going down (as thought / a glance in heartbeat surprise where I hold the keen dark beauty innocent captive more coffee) & aren't we all eternal angels? it's all about quality who cares how long we live how big seeing beyond the piercing construction & the tattooed skyline digging the form for all it's worth the world's sweet ass bent over filling the universe full of its cause & infernal celebration dream liberation thru death the whispering conqueror the masturbating cosmos I come back as a photograph of what I meant to say where anyone could hold me at a safe distance & say he was crazy, yes but burned like a glorious comet across the dark deep nite shouting hallelujah & amen eternity just an afterthought before the final impact the veil lifted to celebrate the unanswered with yet another question S.A. Griffin is the author of Unborn Again (Phony Lid), A One Legged Man Standing Casually On Hollywood Blvd. Smoking A Cigarette (1989, Shelf Life Press), Heaven Is One Long Naked Dance (1993, Rose of Sharon Press), Twisted Cadillac: A Spoken Word Odyssey (with The Carma Bums, 1996, Sacred Beverage Press) and Co-Editor of The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry (1999, Thunder’s Mouth Press). |
