here we are

(9-28-07 / 914pm)


just me and the computer
just me and the screen

ive been wanting to write
more
poetry

more words that will
inspire
more words that will
show
others that i need
to
be listened to
that
i am someone to be
remebered.


i listen to dog the
bounty
hunter on tv talking
about
trying to find someone who
has sexually abused
a child and
video taped it.

he is on larry king
and is saying he will
find them for a dollar

i’d write for one dollar
if i was on larry king
and
taken siriusly about
something

about anything.

but what about nabokov’s
lolita

will dog go after him?


but who really cares
about
being on cnn with larry
king

no/know
i want my thoughts to be
cared
about by people in the
know/no

people
who history will care and
write
about

i want to be considered as
a
world shaker
a
world mover
by
history
by
prosterity

is not that what all men
want/wont

that is surely what
the artist wants
deep
down
or
not so deep down

cause
we already feel
we matter
that what we think is world
shaking

world moving
important

we just want
others
many others
to recognize it

for all our
groping into the
abysss
to have been worthin
something

anything
but
the nothing it is currently
