Week Twelve Prose Poems


Cocaine Blues II

Oh dat cocaine--go cat, go break yo nails. Rake yer teeth. Call dem cares gone. All dem cares gone on. This sniff is Hollywood. Hit this Hollywood cocaine. Go 'head, ol' Head, ol' King Caine. Cringe through breakfast. Wake up, caine mane. Wiff! Waff it off the top of the dropper, pop it in. Mmmm, dem sins, dem dirty sins. Keep breathin', Stephen. Don't go cold, Joe. Josephine goes with me to the machine, get gold. O! you know, don't thou? Speedy dreambombs. Sleep lots, deep, lost, gone on home. Woo! Wake-up, make the table & blanket, fool. Mmmmm, get gone--




A Quick Letter





We Did It.

"We did it for democracy. We did it for ending a horrendous dictatorship. We did it because they hate freedom. We did it because of oil wells. We did it to get back. We did it to stop that. We did it against genocide. We did it for Imperialism. We did it for Christian Imperialism. We did it for basic human different rights. We did it for Peace. We did it to end that thing. We did it because they disagree with us. We did it because we disagree with them. We did it. We did it again."
