We need a Celine/Miller/Kerouac/Bukowski/type for this time and place. I've chosen myself for the job. What did the man say? No guts no glory? So writing poems from the gut will do. And my star is rising...

modification of an archetype

there is a saying that
there is only one woman
in the world
there is a saying that
there is only one
day and that it is
all the same day
I've heard these
sayings said
quite a few times
so one day a wild
haired woman w/ crazed eyes
and sacred lies
came to the world
she affronted the
logic and reason
all had created
and kept rising
again from herself
like a phoenix
she wore black leather
boots that ended above her
knees
she said
'here is the word and the
way, I am the woman
and this is the
day'
then she stole
away back,
far back from
whence
she
came
