Cathy Anger Wrote Standing Up

Posted in poetry with tags , , , , on June 9, 2018 by malartart

“Anger is simple

Love is complex

So, I’ll stay angry with you”

 

She never said that

Quote unquote never said

Anything of the sort

She never wrote that

Quote unquote never

Wrote anything even similar

She always wrote standing up

To be sitting was to be comfortable

Oh and she always always lied

Even lied about lying if you can believe that

So yeah she did say and then write down the above

Left in her journal to be read by they who angered her

we maybe the aliens (?)

Cabaret de commerce

Dismantling the culpable ones

Oneiric days faze me no longer

They are mismanaged at best

Chaos at worst

Feigning mastering your chosen art

Must come 5th 4th 3rd 2nd 1st

As the riot police confuse content w/ intent

Realisation like a rubber bullet between those ol’ blue eyes:

‘I have a horn

I have another one

I take my time

I take my turn

I swing my tail

Learning

To even scores bitterly held’

He is not of the gaps

He is the chasm

The difference

of

you/ me

us/ them

people/ places/ things

Netting a win & calling it in

Is nothing but

An alien concept to

All of the seasons

Stats on the Syllabus

I know where I am

                 Coz I’m keeping a track of myself

[@ the mo I’m over the ocean winging my way to Canada]

Werner didn’t mean to start this battle

             But he’ll be damned if he loses to you

                                      —

I jus’ didnt want to be left on the shelf

           Tho’-gawd lord – I shouldn’t’ve written a list of my best of the year

[I argue the Den is the best place to hide—it’s @ #3]

                                      —

My shadow self jus’ making sure art survives the war(s)

                                          Gnome’s Warts and all

All these thoughts be not your beeswax

           Collected together they make a

                                         handsome omnibus

                                     —

GEE(dot). seyz hair dye like crack

                          Me luv her but I gotta stop dancin’

               to her latest track

        It’s in me head part of me mind

                             Swirling around all the fuckin’ time

                                      —

‘Bell Ringing Ain’t Fun’ If youre not a sex swinger

               College starts and wearin’ my blazer proud

                     But the slip-on shoes are probably

                           One step forward (two steps back) too much
