Rachel's Something Party









The kind of people who are shunned
they have a position but are shunned
from the Almish
from even the Almish
for having too much fun?
have you seen rummspringa?
(Have you seen Devils Playground)
I tell my friends the druids
the pagans
to watchout for the students tonight
they're travelling in packs
they may jump out from behind a bush
and try to Educate you!

Rocky Mountain Photo


My friend M.E. is a writer for the Denver Rocky Mountain news. He paid me $50 and a 12-pack of pale ale to shoot a portrait of him for one of his columns that ran today.

American Sculpture Gardening


We are gardeners gardening in the most extravagant garden
"Do you want tea?" yes of course I want tea
of course I want tea
they're looking at us everywhere
there's little cameras looking at us
there's sculptures looking at us
and we're just gardening
. . .

In this expensive garden there's a hole chewed through the rat trap
in this neighborhood the rats have smaller rats
that they pay to do things for them
like chew holes through rat traps

In this garden the gardeners are artists
immigrants
innkeepers
botanists
countrymen
In this garden we artfully pick up wind blown leaves w/ our hands
and put them in our bag

Here I'm raking the leaves and my dreams
through the Mondo Grass

Writers Blockade


I'm having writers blockade
but apparently others are having book blockade
that's much worse
Andrew Bain says we're rich
he's write or right
they're eating pizza with pineapples in here
they're talking about propositioning each other during Mardi Gras
cutting the grass in 1992
having to pee again, no way
you've got a lot of sugar
Taste!
ha ha ha, oh, sorry.
I mean, eww
what do I eat for breakfast?
corn
ears & ears of corn of course
real Americans eat corn Baybee
And there's no time to stop in America
there's no room for it
someone's always right behind you
let me shake my head around a little bit first
like I really know what I'm saying
Ah Hem!,

Post-Surgery Post


Here is my friend Rafal after he had surgery on his cheek bone. The surgery was due to us being jumped last month by a gang known around Columbia Road as L7. Strange, because he looked totally normal before the hospital.

News from: American


(SUBURB, Md.-Landscapers, Jeremy and Carlos listen to NPR during their lunch break.)



I am not able to concentrate Here
sometimes
Sometimes in America
the news the facts the data comes too quickly
My mind isn't able to rest
and think about the rest
of America and it's world
Sometimes in America we are working and forget
Sometimes in America we miss the news we create
Sometimes we
Have no time to imagine elaborate screened-in patios in New England
Have no time to remember our wars
or the Americans that we've lost there
or the ones still there
In America we definitely don't have time
to think of non-Americans
