still from, "The Day The Earth Stood Still"Here's a new one I just wrote. Hope you're well.-Michael
ps. What did you think of those books? [3 well tempered chap-books published and available from Mickey G's newly established CovertPress] Dorsey [rad poet/activist of Toledo, Ohio ] said he'd be down with doing a reading. Anyhow the poem:
Free Speech
Free speech is . . .
Free speech is . .
Speech is free .
Free speech is . .
Speech is free .
As long as you
Pay for what
You say later.
And the mans got
His thugs collecting.
Pay for what
You say later.
And the mans got
His thugs collecting.
Free verse is . . .
Free verse is . .
Verse is free .
Words torn from the source.
Onto the page,
Flowin' every which way.
She told me she'd
Like to be a Poet,
But she can't write
In all that rhyme.
She's a Poet
And she never knew it.
Onto the page,
Flowin' every which way.
She told me she'd
Like to be a Poet,
But she can't write
In all that rhyme.
She's a Poet
And she never knew it.
Slow food for thought,
Simmering in the brain.
It's free speech,
Simmering in the brain.
It's free speech,
And it's free.
