1499 – Best Year Ever

Hayvery Body! It’s Ollie!
I jsut got pub’d over here!
It’s part of the For Every Year Project started by Crispin Best… where writers and poets are composing things in honor of each year from 1400 to the present… we’re just about to hit the 1500 mark… which is pretty big if you ask me…

PLUOTS!

candy of the scientist-gods.

go ‘head and get you some.

ahh, rain

“Now that we’re alone we can talk prince man to man” -Zbigniew Herbert
i got up early this morning, i’d thrown the covers and caught a chill. found two poems slidin’ about.
My crooked hands shake
something unreasonable.
I can see them
roasting on glowing coals.
I don’t take them out.
I am always cold.
I am always letting off everything

night four

i miss the rain. i’m findin’ myself in a new space that’s saying all sorta things to me. i know that’s odd, but the walls jus’ want to tell me about everyone they known. hope they won’t find much to ever say about me.

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action; and till action, lust
Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,

Past reason hunted, and no sooner had
Past reason hated, as a swallow’d bait
On purpose laid to make the taker mad;
Mad in pursuit and [...]

I’m no longer satisfied with the images on my television

I’m no longer satisfied with the images on my television

I watch the show with the clock. The one that counts the minutes and the seconds until the show will be over.

Pirates, Inquisitions, Plumbers and Zombies

Ollie is hungover today.

These are the questions he is pondering at the moment:
Why did pirates make people walk the plank rather than just throwing them overboard?

It seems that the chances of a zombie apocalypse are far more likely than say, being invaded by Mexico or Canada… shouldn’t our department of defense funding reflect that?

Right now [...]

Hey Every Body.
It’s Ollie. It’s my turn.
The dolls around me have all been accidentally tossed into highly sexual positions.

That coffee cup is heat activated. When I fill it up with coffee from the machine the girl in high heels kneeling on the hardwood floor of the apparently unfurnished high-rise loft becomes naked.
I don’t find this [...]

Mouth against skin

This took place over a course of several days, condensed into seven or so hours.  Where it started is clear, to a certain point, like the horizon—you know there is more beyond it, but not because more is visible.  As we have it we are in the ocean.  Standing in the slack water waiting for [...]

The Poetry Brothel is an organization of poets and artists, directed by The Madame and Tennessee Pink, whose mission is to expand New Yorkers' personal, intellectual and fiscal interest in poetry through events, workshops and other projects. Intimacy, community, passion, service and transformation of environment and self are the guiding principles behind The Poetry Brothel. With these principles in mind, The Poetry Brothel creates worlds in which poets and non-poets can better come together to celebrate the pleasures of poetry.
