which stars to pull from the gum line

"High on Laughing Gas....I've been here before......the odd vibration of the same old universe."-Ginsberg. I started thinking about the Ginsberg poem, "Laughing Gas" as I was getting my root canal and it didn't numb out the pain or the grind of the drill peaking.  I've often thought that if Ginsberg didn't become a poet he would have become a dentist analyzing every tooth and what it bit down upon.  I've often thought that if Ginsberg didn't become a dentist he would have become a poet analyzing every truth and what it bit down upon.  I'm a little spacy right now and can't really tell what it is that I'm trying to say here but here is a thought, before you read any of Ginsberg's poetry you better have  dental insurance and plenty of laughing gas because the universe is a big metallic drill and the stars line up like cracking teeth only to feel the hot breath of breath cascade from your lips into that odd vibration providing the universe with options on which stars to pull from the gum line.

Aimee Herman and how she never uses the door

There are some poets out there who think if you say the words "clitoris" or "fuck" they are being different and controversal.  When Aimee Herman does it it's necessary.  There is a difference.  There are sex poems and then there are poems of the body and Aimee certainly falls under the category of the body.  I've been to readings before and a poet will start getting very explicit and sexual and the crowd gets all into it but there is no art in it, might as well be writing Hustler letters or something.  With Aimee those kinds of innuendos are necessary because there is art involved and a unique voice.  Now Aimee's poetry has alot more layers than sex and the body but you can tell they are interests of her's.  She has a new book of poetry coming out called "To go without blinking" and she'll be premiering poems from it this friday at Side walk Cafe at 7pm (Ave. A and 6th St.)  You won't regret seeing this wonderful poet perform.  She almost makes you think she's talking about your body, which in a way she is, but she's got nothing but her body on the mind which is why she is such an important artist, she lets you in without showing you the door.

the only way a pile of shit knows it's important is if you make it feel that way

To the people paying attention to what Rush Limbaugh has to say......when you pay attention.....you give him a reason to say it.  The only way a pile of shit knows it's important is if you make it feel that way.  These piles of shit know what they are doing.  You know how a program gets a 40share-controversy.  This is like the Imus thing, taking him seriously makes him feel as if he has something important to say.  He lost his show only to start another show and that's probably what'll happen to Rush, he'll be silenced for a short time only to say something  stupid and insulting again.  Doesn't anyone listen to the ocean anymore?
