Panic on the Titanic


...OK, maybe not!

USS Hartford Limps into Bahrain


Received a phone call from D a couple days ago. Thankfully, he is OK and may be home sooner than planned. Good, because he needs to be spanked for raising the oil prices!

Don't Go--V. Georgouti

From an old record I found in Reckless Records, Chicago IL

Ennio Morricone!!

Nuclear Core

from Chasmotica


before reduced to static as a swathing of small measures [the middle damage] a palliative for the skin reticular meshes hide for what roars & begs to be stilled how creeps well in the ground elongated that horrible torrent the “deep-down”sea of tissue mixed with coral

Books

Took a trip to the local used bookstore earlier today--my favorite place to go to find interesting books. On this trip, I came across a book by Lou Reed, titled The Raven, a very neat looking book from 1929 on cosmogony, and a 1940 hardcover edition of For Whom the Bell Tolls, a present for Doug's upcoming birthday. I plan on taking another trip to the bookstore soon to see what else they have. Can't wait!!

Alethia (with Image by Theoni Tambaki)





peeled away thin, your skeleton
(in the desert bone-yellow as loosestrife)

as in

the ghost-air between
tangled lovers



wearing
no memory more embedded
than that of carnality past

in the imploded skull,
explosion of sperm


when all you’ve sucked in through siphon,
little spills of spoil--I lapped

& wanted more


fucked, absolute,
sucked-up

in the dusted willow
of my hair

you let settle your water fowl,
tempestuously, so upon me--

did you hope it would flee or settle itself before me a shadow of vireo or,
perhaps, a shadow of you, amorphous in the dew that drenched my body?


unsettled geometries


all clustered about our breasts
you, Zephyrus on the cusp, embracer


like Eros


how

I


wanted your Greek--Anemoi--
to untangle me from his gristle

or, in darkness, his vile insides
spilling out-------

gush of upheaval
purpling the skin

& what was matrimonially
laid before it:
memento mori ----




only such
in each of us


mortality
is not easily
forgotten

3 Thoughts by Blixa Bargeld



first,
i thought:
the advent of the iron age
made the elongation of the male sex
unavoidable
and its main aim
the penetration
the knife, the sword, the spear

second,
i thought:
gunpowder, firearms
the main aim shifted
to ejaculation
and - bombs:
the mystification of the orgasm

third,
i think:
simulation
through screen or helmet
makes this
pornography
