Felt quite proud today when a nurse came up and showed me the stone I'd
passed in my urine in the afternoon. The consultant when asked had gone into
raptures; you see Mrs Richards saw the scan. I have an outburst of strong,
positive energy then I fall asleep and dream I'm far away on a wooden
sailboat, lovely summer-day. Am I alone? Its getting harder to tell. Then I
remember pigeons and a metal Phoenix gathering around the signs on the bus
station going east (I wonder if Jasper Johns did a lot of flying too?) All
these exhausted people cannot arouse a sea of rage, they stumble, reading
and crying, the books are so heavy. I asked everyone if they knew where
Billy was today?

Rubbery Gates [lyrics]

Rubbery Gates
kissing
kissing the rubbery gates
they
are gloss
red gloss
not gloss of which you paint with
but the kind of red
which was painted at birth

fluid containing
covering mucus
digestive feed
need to stick my tongue in
and tickle tonsils
and lick at those wet crevices
that wait inside

feel
to feel the lymphoid tissue
in that hole
as it engulfs
over powers my rhythmatic licker
as it slides
kissing the rubbery gates

responsive
a reflexive action
sucking the tongue
salivation
releasing juices exuding at rapid pace
trickles of wetness
mixed with another's saliva

secrete
with terrestrial vertebrates
chewing
the lips and
sucking the internal
inner dribble
impulsive lubrication

kissing the rubbery gates

digestive we are
eating
munching the gland
a mutual stand
in ritual practice
cannibal buzz-lust
we are biting at the sore

un coiled are
the lengthened
poky prodders
meeting life's law
the inevitable suckers
kissing the rubbery gates

Bush Uses Bali to Press for War

BlankTwo days after the horrific bomb blast in Bali killed more than 180
people, President Bush, appearing at a Republican campaign rally in
Michigan, cited the assault as yet another reason for vigorous prosecution
of a war against Iraq. Bush maintained that Saddam Hussein hopes to deploy
al Qaeda as his own "forward army" against the West, that "we need to
think about Saddam Hussein using al Qaeda to do his dirty work, to not
leave fingerprints behind," and that "this is a man who we know has had
connections with al Qaeda."

But neither Bush nor his administration have offered any proof for these
claims.

Re: [thingist] I never claimed to be a Shaman


Nice bit of writing, no pseudo jargon there...

aahhh...a cup of honey, hot whiskey & a lemon, it sure is a potent mix - a
bit like life.
