NOTE TO SELF

As He Pleases

Nay-Saying this Though and Through

“Oh, I Don’t Know: And seemingly Caught in a Steady Downpour of Sunshine, Diminishing Returns and the Constant Scrambling to Sweep-Up this Year’s Misused Moments while twisting the Film to Slo-Mo so to Hope to Swerve Past Tomorrow’s Slap-Shot and Sacked Hopes”

-Boris Izsus 2013

Head-First into Cabbage Stew

“And here the Light at the Window Decays, the Light Decays and Slowly Fades; And here the ill Wind Blows for Nobody Indeed; And here the Man Wrestles his Burdens to the Ground; And Here She Comes to the Ground and Swans over the Life where she Finally comes to Lay; And here after many a Winters Dies the Little Boy, literally, literally, literally, Indeed.

KISS IT TO MAKE IT BETTER

Serious, astonished

and hurt

above all the imagines

of a face

I felt the need to say, however

improbable

“I shrug at the thought of it”

My head hurts me

and better than any

other good

the doors salivates at

the thought

of air and shoes and deputies

“I am weary to death of this thoughtlessness”

To handle belief

one has to

have a broken system of

the mind, or

rotten milk somewhere

in the back of the refrigerator

"I walked through the town today. I've already seen too much."

I Don't Mind Satire, but this is Stepping Over the Line

“…to Delve-into-Delight, and to take a Wrecking-Ball to the Knees of this City, so that, like our Love, we will take the Hellish and make it a bit more Forgiving.”

The Solitary Cricket

“And How I Remain Profoundly Moral: I Prefer to Touch whatever will not Recognize Me

from Becoming My Own Solacing and Incantatory-Debriefing of the Hop-A-Long Toad.”

-Boris Izsus 2006
