the valor of woman

Never explain, never retract,
 never apologize.
 Just get the thing done and let them howl.

what fuels their claim for justice

I feel that "man-hating" is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them. And although there are exceptions (as in everything), i.e., men who are trying to be traitors to their own male class, most men cheerfully affirm their deadly class privileges and power. And I hate that class.

some birds never fly

the notion of acedia means that a man does not,
          in the last resort, 
    give the consent of his will to his own being; 
  that beneath the dynamic activity of his existence,
he is still not at one with himself

travail of the modern prophet

                                               Echoes of Heraclitus





Four days I sat in the attic
with 27 cans of beans
we were going to use on Labor Day
and some coca cola I drank very slowly
                                                       to make it last

Finally I bashed and bashed
with a can
till I created enough of a breach
to pry open the smallest slit in the roof

O my God!
one of my neighbors was floating with
her hair entangled in a tree limb

A helicopter flew me away
I wound up in Utah
where I'm waiting for Jesus
or anybody

to help me home.

That's what my mother always said:
The rivers always pours toward poverty
You can't lose the same house twice

but once you get to heaven
the water makes God's bread to leaven
