yeah jess,
dem magic moments. been givin’em away for years. a few select friends near lifelong and 2 ex’s - all sittin’ on a bundle of words - stuff i have no idea of rememberin’ unless seen and never copied any. stamp, mail, published! gifts. always have, always will. jus’ slowin’ down the doin’ as the graves fill from them that leave.
snowflake was 1st ever published in hardbound - in order to see had to buy. - was anti-publ. over 30 year. first ever subitted since early 70’s. its poets’ job to make real - to grab by balls or throat, hold, kiss, whisper, maim if necessary, scream to as needed, softly like love’s ear. let go when i’m done, not reader. about sound.
but, that scam contest i entered in ‘99 got me in 4 more anthologies and recorded by a yankee on CD 3 times but, i’ve only seen one book and heard one CD. signed artist releases for all. all i did was buy stamps and mail ok’s. they online’d me and published books and made the monies. cost me nuthin’. knew no money in 1st place then letter later states nomination for best and come to hollywood to see how much you win!!! i doan need none ‘at shit.
poetry should be free. in schools, on streetcorners, etc. - and when i feel like givin’ it - out at the bonfire out back twixt coyotes’ howlin’s. but, i’ll take a 5 book deal from the bigs right now. ain’t nobody been mass-marketed in USA since McKuen, bukowski close but small publishing house though world distribution and good publicity - McKuen, who many argue no poet, major publisher all his books and mucho bucks for writin’ common simple stuff with some little stabs at sayin’ somethin’ now and then. he was big in 70’s. course, his publishing deal in the first place was helped by him writin’ the song, “Jean,” movie “prime of miss jean brodie.” lucky break.
i doan do this shit for fun. this is my life. always has been and it’s my job that brought me here. comin’ back too for more.
thanks for all your notes.

p.s. ain’t no such thing atheist man - dig bushmen connect with bic magic - anything out front one be the bigger, so how could atheist mean no big guy or it exists. all is nothing in the infinte full. we come from that. we are that. we go there, return. is and are. did, done, doing. different routes from and for same sought. truth is truth. dogma? o yeah, they do that. ignore-ant follow cause they taught to and not question and some don’t know they can. dang ol’ communists in cold war days - communism their god.
as said, anything out front one chooses to believe, becomes their god, or a reasonable facsimile! still same thing. power is available. within and without.
i hear ya.
