A Dip Into Notebook #29 (1981 to '83)

to Gloria Frym

We are all different in our flaming innards.
We often forget about how different our insides are
— so concentrated on the cosmetics of our lives we
forget the inner turds, the concupiscent brain coils
and differing intertwining follicles of the innards —
all those differences those blown-up electron
microscope pictures show us of ourselves — with
things walking around or floating or just hanging
there — all of them different, therefore is it any
surprise our styles of writing differ each to each -
or should if we have a mote of honesty in us - since
that's where it all comes from — down deep in
the inner turnings, bags, glands, cells, coils, frame
and inner frame and gushing different paths all
contrary and aglow with life, the sparks off the fire
of different suns moving our inner beings, weights
pulled by moons each in a different place oozing up
and back meeting airwaves matriculating up voicing
out each in different voice. The views of my voice
from a different peak or valley or plain.

There are no schools of writing, only the
differing pulsating breaths of poets each singing
out if honest to the tune, what our very centers
say, what came up from me to you today.

The Avant Garde Academy


Man in smart dress suit:
The Avant Garde Academy brings you the latest that’s news. The very latest news, nothing but the latest. We decide on every bit of information that leaks out. Now this morning it was pot-boilers in Canada. Artists determining the pop-wave farther and farther North. Everyone knows the Canadians depend on the Americans for their latest creative wave and we’re pushing them farther north. All of our major cities are now puking out sheer– creative energy– each as a local point for the arts, puking them out. Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Atlanta– each of them puking them out. The second "them" being art.

Voice 1: Dustin Hoffman eats sugar cane pussy.
Voice 2: Marlon Brando eats finger fairies.
