Who are some of your favorite poets?? I've been reading nothing but poetry lately and am looking for some fresh stuff! Really dig Richard Brautigan...

I've been reading Richard Brautigan & Chan. McKenzie lately, but I also love Charles Bukowski.

Lord Alfred Tennyson, Billy S.


I also kind of like "Dr. Madd Vibe" aka Angelo Moore from Fishbone. Kind of cool.

Blowfly is one of my favorite poets:

Ride down the road carryin` a load
Feelin` more sexy than a pregnant toad
Checkin` out the scene on my CB
`Cause I don`t want no bears fuckin` with me
That`s a big 10-4, good buddy

Smokin` weed, feelin` fine
When suddenly I see a blue light behind
Uh, caller dickhead, check out my crack
I think I got a bear on my back
He`s on my ass and that`s no joke
But I`m gonna eave that blue light motherfucker in the smoke
10-4

Said hih, ha, hih, ha, hih, ha, ha

Hih, ha, hih, ha, hih, heh, heh
1-2, I said fuck you
3-4, your mammy`s a whore
5-6, check out this dick, yeah
While I was goin` around the corner, doin` about 80
Lookin` between the thighs of some big pussy lady
While checkin` out the thigs of this fine, ho
I could tell she had a lotta ass below
But stopped up ahead for a bite to eat
I said, "Hey bitch, give me some of this fine meat"
She said, "I got it here, so come on with it
But just make sure you got enough meat to get it"
I said, "My hands are large, and my pecker is bigger
Just open up your eyes while I pull my trigger, yeah"
I grabbed the bitch by the hair and then headed for the room
She had a fine body, but a face like a coon
She sat on the bed and pulled off her clothes
As the funk from her pussy started fuckin` with my nose
Suddenly I find that it all was a waste
`Cause there was a big penis starin` me in the face
I kicked it with my feet and hit it with my hand
What I thought was a bitch was nothin` but a man
An you know what I did then, huh

I said uh, I said ah
I said uh, ah, uh, ah, ah
Uh, I said ah
I said uh, ah, uh, ah, ah
And I got the hell out of there, that`s what I did

So I grabbed my shit and got back in the truck
And I thought to myself, "What the fuck"
After messin` up my day and spoilin` my plans
I said to myself I can still use my hand
Thought about the fine bitch I had back home
And suddenly I couldn`t help but to play with my bone, yeah

While ridin` to the state of Alabama
In a little town where I loved around
I went in this bar, said "What the heck
Motherfucker no good redneck
Some asshole at the end of the bar
Said, "Hey, nigger boy, do you know who you are"
I pulled out my dick and broke the bartenders glass
And I said, "All you motherfuckers can`t kick my ass"
I remember what my daddy said one night
He said, "Niggers penis is bigger than whites"
But my black ass in for a big surprise
`Cause that crackers dick was three times my size
And of course you know, that isn`t a big 10-4
Uh, I said, "Feets, don`t y`all fail me now
Let`s get the hell outta here"

He said, "Boy, I`m gon` kick your assll your head turn blue
There ain`t nothin` I hate worser than a nigger or Jew"
I said, "Are you sure you wanna fuckh me
I`m a distant cousin to Muhammad Ali"
Suddenly his big penus began to shrink
He said, "Come on, boy, let`s have a drink"
Those rednecks in the corner started gettin` up outta their seats
Carryin` big clubs, wearin` white sheets
He said, "Listen nigger man
I`m the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan
He said, "There`s no nigger badder than me
Motherfuckers you and Muhammad Ali"
I threw my drink in his face and I started to run
As I felt the lead from his shotgun
I got in my rig and covered up my face
And I drove my truck threw that motherfuckin` place
H**s started to run with glass in their hair
And the cracker`s asslyin` everywhere
The grand dragon was on the ground with his aSSloody
And I looked at him, I said, "10-4, good buddy, yeah"
I reached in the seat and grabbed a bottle of wine
And I looked in the mirror and said, "I can`t stand myself sometimes, huh"

And then I said, I said uh, I said ah
I said uh, ah, uh, ah, ah
Uh, I said ah
I said uh, ah, uh, ah, ah
Uh, I said ah
I said uh, ah, uh, ah

I`m the boss with the shoot off
I`m the king with the ding-a-ling
I`m the hound with the crown
I`m the dog with it all
I`m the prince with dollar sense
I`m the king with the sweet thing, yeah

I said uh, I said ah
I said fee, fee, fum, fum, ooh, ooh, come, come
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah, ooh, ooh, ah, ah, ooh, ooh, ah, ah

I got this Tom Waits reader out in San Francisco from my old clingy girlfriend for my birthday. Its tight. our relationship wasn't.

Anything that comes out of that guys mouth is poetry. It contains all of his interviews and press releases from Closing Time all the way up to Alice.

And um, Sylvia Plath if you feel like killing yourself. But don't read it if you're actually having suicidal thoughts, only if you want to create the catalyst for suicidal thoughts.

James Fullerton honestly had some surprisingly really good poetry he had written hidden away in notebooks and on little scraps of paper that he never showed anyone.

I'm not joking.

That's not suprising. Dude took forever writing lyrics, because he was so painstaking about each word, but they were always sweet.

"Hinged to Forgetfulness Like a Door"
Hinged to foretfulness like a door
She slowly closed out of sight
and she was the woman that I loved,
but too many times she slept like
a mechanical deer in my caresses,
and I ached in the metal silence
of her dreams.
