FURY

EYE Came Out
That Square Cooper Union Elevator
Inside Black Stockings/Black Mini Skirt
Lit Cigarette In M(EYE) Right Hand —
EYE Stuck M(EYE) Left Foot
Deep Inside Those Satin Lips
Fuchsia — Fuck-sia
The Length Of M(EYE) Perfect Body —
AND CLIMBED IN
EYE took the big long fat black zipper
between The Puffy Pink
& “ZIP” —
EYE WAS SILENT

Intense writing. Tremendous imagery. —CC
Chagall!! EYE am dancing now!! Even better than Micael Jackson — but My Husband whom I am going to try to divorce, still doesn’t think I am an artistic genius.
Just be an artist.
That is fraught with difficulty.
How so? I meant be an artist simply, not necessary to qualify it with “genius.”
There is no such thing as a “simple” artist.
Similarly, there is no such thing as artistic genius.
GOTTCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy your Tuesday. Tacos are the preferred fare of the evening. Take care. —CC
EYE HEART U CHAGALLL!!!
You are my virtual buddy. —CC
YAY!!!
Your last line re: silence – that is to be taken literally? You are no longer writing?
Chagall EYE had MY First Public “Poetry” Reading last night and am not sure what the fall out is. I don’t think I want to repeat My Self. I wore MY Black Oprah Winfrey Dress and My Black Pressed Italian Leather High Heels which were adorning My Feet for the signing of Self Organizing Galaxy and now I don’t want to do anything but DANCE. What if I showed up on Your Doorstep and started dancing to rap music, hip-hop & 90’s on Nine?
Fantastic! What was the audience reaction? How did you feel? And now, how DO you feel? Fall out from those who would prefer you did not do such things? Which poem did you read? Yes – please dance on my doorstep. 🙂 —CC
And where? A club in front of strangers? For friends and family in the dining room (potentially just as strange)? Either way, bravo!
Read a couple of recent comments on some of my recent poems.
Wait a minute Chagall — now I can’t seem to find them. Hold on a sec.
As per your off-line correspondence, I can tell that you are stoked about recently “coming out,” so to speak. Are you derailing or are you solid in your bearings?
Now EYE am dancing, intermittently, to Classic Vinyl while cooking a beef/chickpea stew and then eggplant Parmesan.
