Happy Belated BDAY John Lennon

The dress rehearsal

more good news

 

ok Thursday

regarding progress on the book of prose poems

                               Poems for the Shaw

i have moved all the copies

I am planning to use 

        from the second desk

                             onto the glass coffee table

                      I may need to compile more information

or at least look at what i already have

 

edited

until i got a short book 

              even shorter

                                               

Why is that little episode so compelling to me?

is it because i stood up for something;

asserted my will on the world in a “good” way?

is it because i wanted to give voice

         to an underclass of people

                       i had never heard of

                                       being middle class white

Lennon sardonically points to capitalisms myth

   work

   work

        work

  work

       work

    work

there is no hero

  the hippies

                       riding the wave 

                as per Madison Ave, Hollywood, and Records

                     coca cola gives

                              love a chance

i mean

                                wants to teach the world to sing

                                                                               imagine  

   unknown

you can still spend three months

of your super important life

with a book and give best effort… 

                                    thank god

Thursday is almost over and in four sleeps

I'm off to Asia…where J’s father has bought a new water boiler

so we have hot water…which is nice
