Ode to a Bull Market

Posted on 2011 April 13, Wednesday by JamesIsIn

O sweet smell of success
the unmimicable aroma
sought by perfumeries in Paris
so strong the nose of noses
dies a little death
and the effluence of the shitting bull
dissipates in fog

Ruminations on Death

Posted on 2011 March 14, Monday by JamesIsIn

what have you done
speaking softly the old lies

I cannot abide
in my skin
while this sin
has come in

run I try and hide and seek relief
but your arms are my salvation
are my sovereign nation
my old elation

so Death in toothy grin
invites me in
to discuss our commonalities
to discuss what each man sees
when nothing but the blind world stands before his eyes

what have you done
speaking softly the old lies

How to Defeat Fascism while Dancing

Posted on 2011 January 10, Monday by JamesIsIn

There was a bit of controversy surrounding this dance video according to NPR today.  I watched it and just saw some people helping an old man take back something that was taken from him years ago.

I believe the method is something like this:

  1. Experience/witness something horrible
  2. After the bad guys have been defeated go there again
  3. Dance

You tell me what you think.

Thanks for stopping.

A Nudge in the Right Direction

Posted on 2010 December 15, Wednesday by JamesIsIn

This has been on my list of things to do for a while now, and I’m sorry to have made you wait so long. You may or may not have already seen the video for the poem called “How to Be Alone”.  It has nearly 2 million hits on YouTube.

Not bad for a poet, eh?

The poem is by Tanya Davis and you can find her Web site here.  (The video is a collaberation with independent filmmaker Andrea Dorfman and you can find her site here.)

If you find you’d like to get some of Tanya’s material on CD (or download), you can visit Tanya’s page at Sand Bar Music.

I wish Tanya all the best and I hope you enjoy her as I have.
