Re: a comment on A Gordian knot (Some dirt on a friend of mine) by Bachus |
23-Jun-03/8:42 AM |
Now, as for me, the above piece is as honest and autobiographical as it gets. Meant to hand over to various interviewers of underground music and papers I'm associated with to leave me alone, and just print that. Because, some people are just impossible to sit in a room with for more than ten minutes. well everyone I know, practically. So if you don't trust the information, go boil the Dhatura root and add some shrooms and see for yourself. Bye, I'm off to an audition, toodles.

contd. as promised.
a) He's been doing it longer, better, and more consistantly than the both of us put together, me making up 80% of that combo if not 90% because any real poet could tell at a safe mile that you're still as unsure of your footing and style strengths poetically as the sun will rise in the morning. That alone is all he needs to make your life a poetic hellapaluza. About 9 months ago I was so obsessed over his ability to shift weight, press, let off, poetically duel that I would take his work folded up carefully out into the mainstream with me and force people to read it out loud back to me, out of the blue, shopping stores, post office, churches, restrooms, lol. Granted, when you're having a discussion with a well respected director of films or a producer and or fellow artist, and they say something that causes you to think of Dark Angel's poetry, that could well be a sign of some deeper more seriously rooted issues, but I trust my older mentors when they say. Yep, he's real good. In fact I think I've seen him only once mispell a word or have a typo, and I was not fully convinced it didn't happen purposely, and that's his entire collection of poems, comments, and debates, and to the casual poet that's easily snubbed as irrelevant old world poetry hang ups, but i'm talking about over a hundred thousand words here easy. Sure some would say I'm as careless and radical with technique, subject, and style as it gets, but that shit will only take you so far if smack dab in the middle of your latest masterpiece, one eve, as you're reading outloud to your guests after a fine dinner and your pipe. you find "And it was there's to begin with all a long" You think , "how'd i fuckin' miss that shit" And You see you have some good ranks and comments but no 9's or 10's? Hmmm bingo, the mature poet has all the time in the world to do it right once with no worries. While the young street poet is serving up eggs benidict still in a shell and calling it the breakfast of the future.
3. Form, now, I know what I'm good at because I've put myself to mastering structures as of late. This is the spine of all good poets my man. Vilanelles, freeverse, haiku, ghasels and many many others. Why, because as a songwriter myself by origin I figured out quick you have three minutes to say some clever shit in a different way that you practice infinitely, and hope you can work magic. Coincidentally, those structures mentioned above use that same back bone of poignant precise compression to work on the reader. Making them what they are damn fine styles. Work the hell out of every structure (style) you can find, even the ones you suck at, because you won't suck forever. Unless, you're not that quick on the uptake.
contd. again

No, no joke, I'm exhausted. i've been writing about 6 to 9 thousand words a day for almost a year straight and my hair and nails have started smoking and glowing for no reason. So i'm either possessed, or tired and hallucinating, or both.
What would you like to know about me?
Well, before we discuss me, first, let me give you some advice.
1. I am not dark angel so don't ask if i am.
1.5 i am not mr. pig so don't tell me i am, please.
2. be careful because he(da) does have the language and talent at his disposal to run circles around you, so don't set yourself up, or me for that matter, in the process of you tripping around poemranker and getting to know the inhabitants. Lord knows some of our battles have left me vastly depleted and plum bonkers, not to mention lasting days on end, all hours, each second, every weapon the mind can contrive being hurled. I have met, counting on one hand, in all of my travels awareness levels to the extent of what he's capable of and let me glimpse, and let me tell you I've moved around, So since I'm in the middle of completing a new manuscript, I won't be able to help you, and you will be beaten like a 4 move chess opener with a nauseating new brass buzzer. I know that kind of sounds weird and all, but all i'm saying is I'm one of the most bionic minds and imaginations you'll ever come across. I never admit when someone's got a few up on me, because it's almost non existint in my spheres of movement, but then, one day that all miserably changed. The day I barked at that arrogant bastard, bot talk about stepping on a wad of hot gum on asphalt in August, Jesus, if I'd of known, I would've fucking just slept in that day. He Drove me fucking nuts for a bit sure, but the conflict forced my writing to anny up, and you know what, it did, and fast. So do yourself a favour watch him tango, you'll learn more than you think by telling him you can too. All silliness aside, I've studied his every move, and it simply boils down to a couple of facts.
comment contd.

A sunclap, hmmmm it's not every day an original word of this nature works well, and it did. i think a lot about fusing words because well when you can't spell for shit or punctuate, you better fuse words better than most or pray you can get by with borrowed & rearranged titles, because being able to make highly symbolic and triple edged hybrids like "sunclap" is as important of a tool in a poets chest, as listening is to an actor. Take a nine and <chicky chicky chew> Will can tame a shrew.

Not bad, and simple, to the point, and as refreshing as waking up naked in the zoo.

Peerhaps it would aid you knowing that this is actually John K's latest lyric on poem ranker, stolen, violated and mutated into a vintage parody. I just do it a a way to pass the time in this new box of mine, and because it's just fucking hilarious if you read them side by side. Try it and see. His is called playing solitaire. He detests me more than a fish does a miracle turning Jesus, because he's too young to be thankful yet, but in about two years he'll be walking around bragging about it to all ends. He still doesn't realize what he's bumped into (I), once he does, it'll be the highlight of his current awareness.
We'll pray for him and his broken record. Please bow your heads with me.

Hardly, but thanks, Da's Aids bonanza and a couple of his other sagas leave me looking for buttons and mirrors, but I'll get there. He is after all, older than taffy.

Sounds like another molested Denny's breakfast. I would suggest a grammar & spelling check, because there are a few minor problems, in every line.

Bravio, I must warn you though, -=D_A=- is a highly trained dolphin crustacean hybrid with oven mitts instead of pincers and blown hole 'stead a blow hole, also, there's no way to beat him, because he's older than the first rabbit Rabi, I've spent a year and a half battling his legions in the hills and valley's of Yor to no avail. 200 poems later I'm further from bettering him then when I began, and I've been abandoned by my peers for my lust and determination in the campaign. Now the bastards all I have left, that and my trusty gum dispenser.

No, actually, I'm currently doing a study on the power of suggestion. A fascinating phenomenon occurs when an individual trusts another unknowingly losing their trust in themselves and better judgement. I could have spelled it "Trainspottingcy" and that's what we would have found this morning. Interesting, aye?

Thank the heavens that you copyrighted this piece Mr. Supreme. Lord knows I was this close to stealing it away and using it to polish my deluxe asswagon.
