Jackson Pollack Wrote Poetry
Posted November 16th, 2006 by Nathan DeGraaf
Canned crowned prince,
15 cents a give-a-shit.
Funny you should say that you never said that before.
Will work for fluid.
Will work for fluidity.
Won't work for the white man?give a brother a job.
Thirty eight cents a pound for your limbs downtown.
Funny you should laugh, I was serious.
Seriously, have you ever seen such a varied scene?
This is the season of the dawning of the age of a new beginning around the bend, getting ready to grab you by the lapels and yell, "Freedom" in your closed face.
One God for sale:
Revelation or best offer.
Bring me the middle man,
I want to hear his story.
"Normal sir,
Why normal is a state of being plain, I believe sir, and generally frowned upon in the higher ranks.
Thanks,
All the same."
The difference between play time and nap time is purely kinetic.
On my way to the world I lost my wits
And can only remember to forget to know what
I meant
When I said what I felt and I felt what I said,
When all there was
Was
Was,
And there wasn't no now.
Just hang out and someone will show you how.

I really liked this, especially the line "the difference between play time and nap time is purely kinetic"...nice post
Grabbing by lapels and yelling "Freedom" in a closed face... strong image, dude. Heavy poem, leaves the interpretation wide open. You keep postin' 'em, I'll keep readin' 'em.
Thanks The Dude and Elise, I always feel weird putting up poetry, but it's a part of me too. Almost as much a part of me as is baseball.
