not me, but me in a way. inspired by a documentary called "camp hollywood." excellent film.


coffee and whiskey

every morning he wakes up,
brews some coffee and adds whiskey:
then drinks - this is a ritual.

he smokes on his porch,
in a seedy hotel called broken dreams,
while drinking something toxic

[add some to the fire]

there's also this writer,
in another room, but he's anti-social;
i don't know him.

but i think, if i did, he would be me.
he keeps hiding in all this shit called prose,
"in new hampshire people don't like gays"

he smokes too: while he writes

let's make a barricade with coffee cups
and cigarette butts; maybe then,
the world will stop spinning
[(in our sober and realistic haze)]

Jeeez! Wow. This is till' now the best one i've read in here.
Great, great, great.
It has this vibrant feeling, while still being a little "heavy." (in a brainfood kind of way)
It's beautiful.
Gives me this "prozac nation" feeling.

This will be my first bookmark here..
concider yourself "bookmarked"
:-D

this is great z. I like the atmosphere you paint. I especially like:

"he smokes on his porch,
in a seedy hotel called broken dreams,
while drinking something toxic

[add some to the fire]"

in our sober and realistic haze.. nice ending.

I have to watch the documentary.

Zachary...what an amazing talent you've been given. You speak with a voice decades older than your bones, which just blows me away. Hopefully this poem has given you the release you've been seeking.
