Watching the Colonoscopy Video Projected at My Feet Tunneling Squeamishly Through the Pale Yellow Ripples of Intestine

Go to the 32:45 mark (autocorrect capitalized that Mark, gospel truth) to watch this shitty blog's Official Bleggalgazing Anthem, May 31st this shitty blog's Bleggalgazing Day for reasons I forget and reasons I remember but don't type this time, two days late this year because I no longer adhere to this shitty blog's rites as religiously as once, and this one now posted primarily for its Anthem and three related Theme Songs





The gleggalbaze: this project has evolved into aiding me process and cope and protest and document the world our sociopath shitlord owners brazenly and hastily, like time is running out, are openly attempting to impose on us, so it's therapeutic, yes, but more importantly I still enjoy making these poems. Also too: 





And while bot-hits now outnumber people hits by a factor of tens of thousands a day (so there's no point my quitting the blog for fear of AI bots ripping me off or shitlords' ubiquitous surveillance of my treason), THANK YOU YOU WHO VISIT, there is still a community of sorts here in Dead, Blegsylvania, and very thank you to yinz that reach out with emails, comments, words, art, Kindness

THIS SHITTY BLOG'S THEME SONG SINCE DAY ONE






CORPS ÉTRANGER

Edward Salem

The placard said it was about surveillance,
but standing in the white cylinder,
watching the colonoscopy video
projected at my feet
tunneling squeamishly through
the pale yellow ripples of intestine,
one Palestinian inside
the asshole of another
in the Hamburger Bahnhof, I thought,
What does this have to do with Palestine?
I understood better after
living across the hill from settlers.

Coming Through the Sidedoors: Can We Synchronize Our Souls?

Five day truce, America's Red Hour of gluttony, helmetball, and shopping orgies into debt, the restart of genocide and our and Zionists' genocide and Americans be like, so what, old news, a gazillion media cycles ago, stop the fuck hammering it, wham wham wham, and just *how* fucked up is the college helmetball tournament, answer me! WHAT ABOUT FLORIDA STATE! the true outrage in America, the fuck is wrong with people. Hear, the only American Football I like:



This blog, the fuck am I doing. Do you know that Frank Zappa died thirty years ago today so today is the start of Zappadan, once a major Blegsylvanian holiday (I only know since years ago I followed @zappadan on twatter), can you name any others? Here's one, Blogroll Amnesty Day, February 1 each year, the fuck is a blogroll. I don't like Zappa's music, have Beefheart instead




That's either this shitty blog's Theme Song 8, 9, or 10, maybe even 11, fuck if I remember. The fuck am I doing here. Both still have them but I don't play either of the two musicians who occupy the two permanent seats in My Sillyass Deserted Island Five Game nor do I keep in my head which three musicians or bands currently hold the three rotating seats in My Sillyass Deserted Island Five Game. My tax dollars pay for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and wholesale land theft of Palestinian land and Zionists went bonkers when three actors in Australia appeared onstage for a curtain call in keffiyehs and are the true evil in the world, the fuck am I doing here, at least I'm doing it less (also too reading less, writing less, painting less, hiking less, discing less, laughing less, sleeping less, eating less), once a week it seems, and as I type this I haven't looked at my stats since I last posted, if you are still here, thank you, a reminder that this shitty blog's Bleggalgazing Anthem in now paywalled by Worldwide Pants, this is this shitty blog's Theme Song 4 or 5 or 6, I don't remember




Hope you played that, if you played that, which 90% of yinz didn't I'd bet a pint, loud, and this post's title taken from this song not per usual from the poem at bottom, revolution, motherfuckers, sigh

I *do* remember that this is this shitty blog's Theme Song One:





COWPUNK

Diane Seuss

Do you think your suffering is exceptional?
Maybe. Maybe not.
The times are strange, no doubt.
In the heat of it, what I believed
was the heat of it, I shouted like a dockworker
that I was unafraid. Come at me,

I hollered, you can only kill me
once. There is nothing left
to take. I’ve said that before. I still hear
the echo from when the flames
licked my feet,
my fearlessness a cabaret.

Of course, there is more to take.
I’m copious and so are you.
My pipe. My roses. My stubborn
mule. My burbling
brook which must be traversed
to get to the island of blue lawn chairs.

My loaded apple trees,
raspberry bushes, and prefab on a slab,
and memories of Petra, with three
teeth, who made a salsa just for me
when she saw me coming toward her
diner, Petra’s. My high school drama

teacher, Jim, his hair bronze, his pallor
ruddy, his gait exceptional. I believe
we should marry, he said to me one night,
blowing smoke rings, driving me home
from play practice. I was Mary Warren
in The Crucible. I’d just learned

to insert a tampon. There were no
boundaries then, and Jim was queer.
His real love was the boy who played
The Boy in The Fantasticks.
I could feel my blood let down
like breast milk into the fabric

of his car seat. I loved the theater.
What luxury, putting on plays
in the middle of a cornfield.
The witch I played giving me
license to go into fits
in front of the student body.

Jim was fired, and died.
Petra’s dead.
The berry bushes are a dream.
The island is a pipe dream.
The pipe is a hallucination.
Still, I’m copious, and so are you.

Jeff the Gimmick Rictus

Dark. Darkening. Furious. Fuming. Daydreaming of shooting people, no torture, no making them beg, I'm merciful, quick dispatch, bango, die motherfucker. We are being reprogrammed, I am telling you three times. The swastikas in my self-portraits were unintentional until I noticed it this morning, I suppose, now that I'm aware, they are intentional going forward 

[A VOMIT IS AN EXTREME BURP....]

Jeff Popovich

A vomit is an extreme burp
I once consoled Billy Wayne
extremely burping on my shoe

I need to start a new elephant
note page for March but was
afraid I'd forget this poem's first

sentence formatting another
month in a platform I'd rather
paint bricks than use. No

abacuses were used in the how
old are you Jeff the gimmick
rictus of this poem. I'm splat



OK, an abacus *was* used in the immediate above. Hot mess, me. Hike w L this afternoon and tomorrow and Sunday, has always helped, we'll see. I have not googled Montgomery County Maryland's requirements for purchasing a gun, Atlantic Guns right next to China Bistro on Hungerford where we're getting carryout tonight, I'm hopeful I still haven't by Monday. I'll see if I'm still here and there then too. Probably best not to name who I'll be shooting first, here's an old gag but true:





THE IDIOT

John Ashbery

Oh how this sullen, careless world
Ignorant of me is! Those rocks, those homes
Know not the touch of my flesh, nor is there one tree
Whose shade has known me for a friend.
I've wandered the wide world over.
No man I've known, no friendly beast
Has come and put its nose into my hands.
No maid has welcomed my face with a kiss.


Yet once, as I took passage
From Gibralter to Cape Horn
I met some friendly mariners on the boat
And as we struggled to keep the ship from sinking
In a storm, the very waves seemed friendly, and the sound
The spray made as it hit the front of the boat.

This shitty blog's newest Theme Song and this shitty blogger's 2022 Theme Song, yes, posted *again*





TO THE NEW YEAR

W.S. Merwin

With what stillness at last
you appear in the valley
your first sunlight reaching down
to touch the tips of a few
high leaves that do not stir
as though they had not noticed
and did not know you at all
then the voice of a dove calls
from far away in itself
to the hush of the morning

so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not
anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age
our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are
invisible before us
untouched and still possible

Implied, Let Me Spare You the Inferring

Apt on the 27th to discover my Shitlord Free Blogging Platform *and* my Shitlord Paid Blogging Platform *and* my Shitlord Owned Scanner-Printer don't do canvasses bigger than 8.5 by 11 for shit, laugh, here's the head of a three part self-portrait at sixty-three, the rest of my body will be repurposed just as our shitlords' actuaries' algorithms insist for my age and pay grade

[IDoNotSuggestaPhilosophy]
JeffPopovich
I do not suggest a philosophy
lurks behind my painting:
I am going blind, dulling colors,
why color primary, take
my glasses off to see color
while I can. Same with my
poetry, which I don't write
anymore, no sophisticated
epistemology implied,
let me spare you inferring
The more I paint the more I mute
me, visualizing saying
now that saying's obsolete
