Frizz Text from Germany
plays his nylon string guitar,
adjusts the bass and treble,
and sends it on its way
with sound cloud!
What can I say? I’m spellbound!

E-mails Don’t Live in Real Time
Among my 800 e-mails
Were two that warned me
To beware of the time errors for the
Mark Wunderlich Workshop.
E-mails Don’t Live in Real Time
But I had noted the Newspaper account.
So, an 11 AM e-mail informed me that
The Wonderful Wunderlich Workshop
Commenced at 10 and ended at 1!!!!!
E-mails Don’t Live in Real Time.
I flew from my garage
Clutching the glass of coffee
From 8AM’s feeding break,
And parked carefully at Roe Jan, 25 minutes later.
E-mails Don’t Live in Real Time.
The door locked me out!
A sympathetic poet admitted me.
I tip-toed, shamefacedly, around the table.
Mark immediately rose and made space at his left hand.
Poets live in real time.
I saw a floor-plan in front of the poet
With each person’s name written like each
Of the seated Knights at the Round Table.
He entered my name surreptitiously.
Mark lives in real space.
Never missing focus
Or the beat of the performance on stage.
A living GPS for all of us.
A schemata to guide us quickly to the parking space.
Mark lives in real time,
.
Just right!
With blue-eyed glance and balanced stance
His crisp smile guided us
Through three tight hours of twists and turns.
‘Til we left in real time.
We left,
Pathfinders, paving way
To ultimate delivery.
Real time poets!

Today I tip-toed through the texts,
Twinkle-dee and twinkle dum!
With my thumb and tongue on run,
Twinkle-dee and twinkle-dum.
I sent pix and kin sent some,
Twinkle-dee and twinkle-dum.
Text did stray; mistakes did play,
Twinkle-plea and twinkle-be.
Old and young still found the key,
Twinkle-please and thankle-we.
Who knew keyboards tiny keys could
Wankle-me and wonkle you?
Wonder words woosh wishes with
Twinkle-text and twankle’s best!

Images to catch your eye
Grab you tight and crisply!
Icons, symbols, screens on fire
Blip and bleep and whoosh and ping
E-communique’s tweet swiftly;
Set you in the circus ring!
Systems nudge you forward briskly
“Keep your tech brain up-to-date!
Come along now, quickly, quickly!”
E-communiques tweet swiftly.

Of course we’re squinting; we’re sun bathing in E.Providence.
In the shade, we mouse puzzles together on Jigzone. Take any jpg and hone your memory skills with Bob. He patiently plays with our technology as we play and picnic outside the rehab center. We stirred everyone’s interest outside at our picnic.

Crazy Wisdom came to the party:
sat in the lowest seat
listened with an open heart
recognized ritualized nonsense
understood antimatter and Sufi poetry
paradox, puns and pie fights,
laughed at politicians.
He flipped the world upside down and backward
until everything became perfectly clear.
(Wes Scoop Nisker)
He knew:
To remain whole, be twisted.
To become straight, let yourself be bent.
To become full, be hollow!
(Tao Te Ching)

They call me sod
loam, dirt
clay, turf, dust.
In cahoots with rain, rocks and roots
worms and grubs
perforated by ants and moles
aquifers and oil
veined with lead, copper, gold
and hiding diamonds and coal
cables, wires and pipes
I hold your huts and your tents
your houses and barns
anchor your bridges, apartments and high-rises.
In beds below rivers
lakes and oceans
I slumber.
In the open I bask in sun’s warmth
sprout and nourish your food.
Sometimes I seizure
shudder and quake
vomit magma
belch steam and ash
or slump and ooze
tongues of brown porridge
smothering your villages and roads
in mud.
But mostly I am solid and safe
keeping you upright
with my mysterious magnetic powers.
Feed me wisely
for I ingest
without discrimination
and someday soon
you will join me.
I will reclaim you.
You will again
become mine.

Inhabiting a Song
Somewhere back of my throat a tune
hovers. My voice or the ghost of my voice
follows, repeating words and weaving
a record of my life into waves and hesitations.
Suppose our chorus, people and animals,
rises and falls in intervals of breath:
in sleep a dog’s paw twitches; a rabbit’s
dream follows its heartbeat all the way
through some ballad that its life is.
Parts of my song disappear, fade out
except for a beat that spans a known
part to another known part, and on.
Even in silence when shadows pass
my throat is full of the sound of the world.
(William Stafford in Crossing Unmarked Snow:

Blurb launched Imprimatur!
“Let it be printed!”
Books are here to stay!
Smell, hear, dance, see, touch!
“Let it be printed!”
In romance language that burns
Itself to your gut; leaves traces
Of quests, valor, guideposts, honor.
Books are here to stay!
Info marches on, in sound, on screen:
designs that soothe the rub
balance the rush: lead home.
Smell, hear, dance, see, touch!
Jump though: leave your mark;
Tap the root; press the bud;
Shout the book song launch!
