In Banks We Trust - Stourbridge October 2008

.

Doors Freestyle Splurgeon



racism like an infection


slowly infecting the host


the language user turned


naive realist






since Plato and Aristotle


the language virus infecting


the domesticated primates


to be or not to






oversimplifications


underestimations


lies of nations states and


genetic family chauvinists






the great conceit


the big fuckup and shitter


the ability to define the difference


and the sameness with


equal truth






a product of the environment


and a product of genetic heritage


both forever tangled and swaying


like a pendulum






so racists for starters are sure


racists are cock sure they are right


about the prejudice they hold


solid and unchanging perception


unable to update their system


stuck in outdated modes of thinking






racists are static


stuck in a closed loop of


self centered wrongness


wrong due to the fact humans are defined


by the ability to suspend judgement






all the fucking "ists"


you dig my drift? eh?


the fucking "ists" those who


invoke hate on some group


defined with the "ists" sufix






or for that matter define any


group good or bad with the general


group-think catch


the trouble starts with the word


nouns and humans do not mix well


or mix very well at all at all






it starts with the words


before the words we are trouble free


no label to carry preconditons


no pre-judgement but moment


to moment feedback based on


experience






the racist likes a tidy box


a neat and fitting system and idea


a foundation for group think


to justify itself


a bed of blatent false pretenses


a good place for the meat head to roll






break out of the linguistic


prison that you guard yourself


find the key to doubt


the key to doubt turned left


opens new doorways and paths


out






racists and most "ists" seem thick


thick and stuck in the mud of hate


self centered ignorance and without


a creative pulse left flowing


all knocked into shape by authority


delusions of the sovereign


righteousness






language is a virus from


outer space Burroughs said


and racism can infect slowly


through words then deeds


in league with greed


group think and generalized


prejudice on the up

Amsterdam Battavia Writs July 2015

1

human rights
robot wrongs
books burnt
rain comes
symbol traps
language shitstems
systorms

heart to mind it
body bliss dis-
-combobulate
the octopus on our back
octopus tentacles
poking and prodin'
our prejudices
the octopus rift
(Occulust Splift)

2

the music plays on
film and painting panting
too dimensional
but the word savaged and beat
butchered beyond
description

use the network nitwit
dont fight it
stop fighting now
boys
chill your beans bro
spill your beans
in a semantic kitchen 
with extraordinary
high-gene

3

cats make friends
with horses
dogs pigeons and elephants
animal tolerance
in the gene-expression
inquisitive 
fearless and playful
butterfly backstroke
breastroke crawly creepy

open to new partnerships
cats burying shit in soil
pre programmed to
recycle waste with grace
four paws for pause
human uploaded vids are just
highlights and freakish odd fails
little did humans know
of cats nightails

4

viconian thunder
cloudburst boom
fathers voice
growing feint 
loss of force of that voice
at 40 years old

and the rain with wind
cycling tears i imagine
every natural metaphor 
now reflects the sorrow of man
war profit greed
machine mandness

5

NO FOR SURE

to say no
but to revise often
resist temptation
cliche'
each breath a battle
to contain all this
are you content

all this dear 
reader all the time all
the clocks and calendars
at once
how do we know for sure

6

ABUNDANT NATURALLY

we all have a right 
to natural abundance:
that which grows and reproduces 
on earth
for all living things

none should have to
beg for what abundantly grows
freely across the planet
natural abundance
berries fruits of all sorts
woodlands and rivers
the sun moon stars
caves and shelter grating weather
at the least 

7

the fucking bounty
of all human achievement 
throughout the ages
our cultural inheritance

if you don't want
to share
fine
but please do not force 
the entire fucking planet
to obey your
rules of restricted access
to naturally
abundant
resources

8

poems in glasses
on floors or in the air
burp
what might have been
the mist in what must
error of judgement
mind cemented
to a plasma screen
the scream
frozen mouth agape

the comprehensive guide
to the incomprehensible
my dribble space blabble
swimming skin beater
from blackcurrentcountry

9

in faces and 
lifted voices
here spliced with
literary devices
damsterhome for now
'international' he sighed

the blues exploded
the bulb exploded too
shards and filament
flew in all directions
time slowed like a spinning
top

the percussion of collision
played loud in the corner stone
a pattern in flux 
darkness crept in
like a cia agent
paranoia eats at guilt
art ink blood and dreams
washed in silt
