shiraz or chiraz
anything to do with strong coffee
interests me strongly also
there is this old gas bar turned
coffee house here in this northern
city by the lake called Twiggs
they import coffee and roast the
beans right in the store
they are also a licsensed establishment
and have an outside patio
they serve deserts and sandwichs
i love to go there and just sit and
look across the back parking lot of
these tall buildings and see the red
and orange framework of the large
microwave tower Scan upwards and
look at the ravens nest on the first
deck watch customers come and go
and sometimes read a paper from
Toronto or Neighbouring Hamilton
cities far to the south
a six hour drive
but its the coffee i love most
intellectual conversation i never
had with other poets or book worms
even though i have been here for
six years now
well thats my story for today
no money for Twiggs until two
more weeks
but i will be there one day
drinking Mexican Black
mmmmmm
assorted family cream biscuits. (stop).
which dymocks do you work at? i may come pay you a visit sometime.(stop). when are you there? i had something else to tell you but i forgot. (stop). i have been reading allen ginsberg and i’m getting very exited. (stop). went into abbeys today and picked any old bukowski number and it made me laugh. (stop). he had shit on his underpants. (stop). enough of this telegram shit. (stop).
over and out
"And i shall rain down on thee with great venegnce..."
your picture reminds me of samuel l jackson and his kiss of death recitals from the book of ezekiel. someone told me no such passage existsts in the bible. let’s ask mark.
I may or may not be Mark
but in a minute I am ready for the black brew and it really is effective be it holy or not - surely is a thriller!
Wow, Jess!
Great current picture you have here. To me it suggests a look of seeker/prophet. Maybe guru? Anyway, someone fiercely wise … with something (actually, many things) to share.
Thanx for all your work and dedication to this site. You enrich it. Immeasurably.
Yours,

In a dog eat dog world it is better not to be a dog
I use a picture of a lion on the t-shirt that bears this saying
cheers,
Jess
a little birdie said it
a little birdie said it might be your birthday….
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY POET!!!
<3 Emarie
Happy Birthday Mate!
I love your new picture! Makes you look as barking mad as I have always suspected you to be…
Because of the Southern Hemisphere do you place your Christmas Ornaments on in a counter clock wise fashion?
All my absolute best!

hey Jess
sorry I havnt been on in a while. Sandie Yamada was a past love in my life but we seperated. she isnt published but she was the one who incouraged me and helped me write and be proud of my writting, be less selfconcious. she is also one of the greatest writters too, poetry and short stories. I really look up to her but I dont have any of her work to share with you, sorry. but that is who she is. Im about to check out your newest writtings, Im sure the’ll be great as always.

DEAR FRIEND
Thanks for your comments
We are two different sides .I am in the opposite side of you
Faith in god is a faith in us.This is my principle.You are arguing that faith in
goodness is a God .Our ways may be different but both our sayings are correct
thank you Jess
with love

Bukowski rules. even post
Bukowski rules.
even post mortem.

Lisa~
interesting you should say "even post"
You even said you meant postmortem, but he had a job most of his life at the post office. I often have to remind myself he wrote fiction, as we should all do, because he was so bloody good we mostly believed every word he said. It’s fiction, well some of it.
Come to think of it, Lisa, having seen some of your other comments and poetry, I suspect you were punning. OK, I fell for it.
cheers,
Jess

Re: your comment of Enough Is Enough (thankyou btw)
Yeah, I tend to go on some expressive rants. If you’re interested in reading them: http://6ft2infinity.multiply.com/ Under the blog page, look for ‘Good Weekend’ , ‘Things that are pissing me off’ , ‘Added thoughts…’ & ‘Moral Degradation’ Those are some of the best ones, though I’ve deleted a couple as I was told they aren’t fit for print - guess someone got a wee bit offended.
That’s all right - we ran off Blair, and now Brown is in his place! Scotsman running England = Bad Juju (a friend’s words, not mine)

Changed my tag line just for you. Don’t have the energy for a gun right debate at the moment. So… it’s been amended to something equally as dumb, but at least it’s a funny dumb. :~)

Fathers Day
still and quiet here
no chimes just the plaintive chirping
of birdsong illuminating nights shadows
left lurking
Been up all night sifting sand
and searching horizons for metaphors
Must say mate you are an inspiration
to me And when I put on my pot of
thick dark roast coffee when all are
up I will toast you a mug in your
honour
Hip Hip Hurrah to Jess!!
I took 50mg of valium to give dads eulogy
I am glad he is dead
cheers,
Jess
Re: Teen Season
Yeah…but I’m even still considering throwing him out. We all do stupid, rebellious stuff. However, with this one, I’m perpetually perplexed! He lacks in wisdom, sensibility, knowledge, understanding, maturity…I just can’t go on. Just thinking of it physically and mentally exhausts me…I need “kelp!” Thanks for your comment.

No more Mister Niceboy,
this icon is Dubhain, an Eldritch being, not evil, but amoral, I will never toe a party line, I will do what feels right, right then. And maybe change later.
cheers,
Jess
changed the icon back to me
that bloody pooka Dubhain is always getting me in trouble,
cheers,
Jess
*LOL* on the Theists
