Bear-Love
When the fallout hits we will be hibernating. Sleep being the only place these sentiments can take us. Paw my bear belly let loose the salmon we will run on pads, claws stunting flip-like or flippant. Bear words are less than holy and more than not. Find me snoring by the west cave wall we call brown wall. There the glow will be impossible to bear. Forget aesops fables and eat some silence with me. Spoon fed and well read we reclined.
Fallout
Your skin is my skin sang the gnarled trees. The ears we took for granted the purple air inserted rhythmically head-side. Pick the dry cleaning up with your talons. Are we birds yet? Can you bird song at my funeral. O the syntax we lost in the transitory periods. Use two words liberally and appliqué my face onto my lower thigh. This is not a test my quiet failure this is an exam. The yellow does not wear you well and the family screaming.

ryan i like these poems. we should get together and drink a whole lot of alcohol. actually, that would probably be a bad idea.
ok.
thank you. i drank a lot of alcohol yesterday. it was a bad idea. it was an ok idea as well. how was new york. fuck it tell me in person sometime. are you in engl 4800 with pafunda. i am.
ryan, do these come with illustrations. when i read them i think of illustrated scenes. for example, 'bear-love' should have a sad mustachioed gentlemen clutching a 1920s era football helmet while sitting on a bicycle. and then right after comes a scene with just the bicycle and helmet because in between the two scenes he was tackled by a bear and humiliated so he ran home and wrote a poem about being sad that he'll never be able to contract a bear-STD.
"The yellow does not wear you well and the family screaming." Ryan, this line really stood out to me. Like all of your poems were the upstairs bar at Transmet and that line was a dubious mustachioed gentleman who bought me a bottle of red wine, gave me 2 quarters for the jukebox, and then mouth-raped me. In a good-humored drunken Wednesday kind of way.
That metaphor didn't work out like i wanted it to, but i really liked that line.
Who is taking a workshop this semester.
Engl 4800 with Pafunda sounds fun. I am signed up for a workshop with Liz Waldner. She has her own page on Poets.org. I am a little bit intimidated. I have to teach Freshman comp. I have to pretend to know things.
We should post the poems/things we workshop and make humorous and self-deprecating remarks regarding what was said about them in class.
For example, "some douche-monger called my poem 'breton-lite' when clearly it was an insouciant display of post-ironic irreverence designed to bind the concepts of romance and violence in a completely mind-numbing but subtly subversive way, all while making continual references to tv on dvd."
This didn't happen. But i hope it does.
I have nothing better to add after daniels comment. daniel you should a. make illustrations for these poems b. *commission one of your freshman comp students to draw me these pictures.
*i.e. threaten them with psychological violence until they work for free/fear.
your metaphor was good. it was more vivid than is possible. it was and is impossible then.
do not be intimidated. you are a good, interesting writer. you should not worry.
i will post my poems. i think if i called anyone in my class a douche-monger they would find it and i would be lynched.
tv on dvd persists. always.
i dont like workshops. people dont like my poems. chanuncey from wondershowzen with a noose on a hang in there poster like the kitten one. that was not a sentence at all.
1920's football helmets are less sturdy than 1920's mustaches.
i wish i was in that class. can you tempt anyone in there with the prospect of switching that class with my Tolkein and Medievalism class, which is apparently the course of the century. i am sitting in front of a kid who speaks Icelandic, Norwegian, and Old Norse. I think he should have his own page on poets dot org. Daniel how is houston? hot? i could never teach freshman comp. I would probably die. ok. I would if i were at Houston. But alas. Ryan, drinks?
sometime? Fuck.
drop/add ends tomorrow and i don't have that class until wednesday. fuck. yeah, drinks. georgia is hot too. fuck the heat sideways. the tolkien class sounds stupid. i am sorry. it does though. ha.
ian, i dropped my phone in a toilet. i dont have your number call me sometime. i might or might not screen the call.
i had to read lord of the rings for a religion class once. i read maybe 200 pages before my brain told me to go fuck myself and i listened to my ipod instead. ian if you start writing poems in elvish i will pretend i don't know you.
houston is hotter than satan's nutsack.
BEARS EAT MAN AT BEER FESTIVAL.
that is a real headline from cnn:
'A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.
The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.
"There's a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage," zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.
Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans.'
satans nutsack is aesthetically pleasing to me
my laptop fan cooler sounds like it has emphysema or however the fuck you spell it.
what sort of stuff are you writing at houston daniel?
are teachers telling you what to do?
or are they guffawing with glee as they eat cakes and pudding and tell personal anecdotes to the class that don't mean anything.
are you having "fun?"
ryan if i call you you can screen it because i will leave a message and then you can call me back. if.
ian, i haven't been to my poetry workshop yet, classes just started this week. today was 3 hours of learning about Milton though.
i have written exactly one poem in houston. i wrote it monday night. it is about being a stegosaurus. it started off serious. i don't know what happened.
i hope my teacher makes all of us write in rhymed, metered verse with british spellings like colour and civilisation.
as long as i am in an air-conditioned building and not in the path of a category 5 hurricane yes i am having "fun."
what is the plural of stegosaurus?
Stegosaurs
alternate spelling plural?
Stegosauri
thanks.
i sent these poems + one to my engl 4800 peers for workshop next week. it should be interesting.

Once you have bought a filter, make sure you have checked
to replace the filter once in a while as a rule, every 6 months to assess whether he
is still in good condition. This method is
similar to the first one as far as method; however, it is more elaborate
because it involves multiple drains connected to several mulch basins.
One hint of iron in water is its orange shade look.
