La Vie Boheme

Perhaps it should concern me that my last two blogs have begun with musical song titles....are the fads done yet so I can come out of the closet as a RENT fan and not be targeted as a teeny-bopper?

To days of INSPIRATION,
Playing HOOKY, making something
Out of nothing,
THE NEED TO EXPRESS
to communicate,
To going against the grain,
GOING INSANE,
GOING MAD

To loving tension, no pension
TO MORE THAN ONE DIMENSION,
To starving for attention,
HATING CONVENTION, HATING PRETENSION,
Not to mention, of course,
HATING DEAR OLD MOM AND DAD

To riding your bike
Midday past the three piece suits
TO FRUITS, TO NO ABSOLUTES
To ABSOLUT, to CHOICE
To the Village Voice
To any passing fad

TO BEING AN US, FOR ONCE,
INSTEAD OF A THEM

To HAND-CRAFTED BEERS made in local breweries
To YOGA, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildos, to CURRY Vindaloo
To Huevos Rancheros, and Maya Angelou

EMOTION, DEVOTION, to CAUSING A COMMOTION,
CREATION, Vacation

MUCHO MASTURBATION

COMPASSION, to FASHION, to PASSION
WHEN IT'S NEW

To Sontag

To SONDHEIM

To ANYTHING TABOO

To GINSBERG
DYLAN
CUNNINGHAM
and CAGE

LENNY BRUCE
LANGSTON HUGHES

TO THE STAGE
To UTA
To BUDDHA
PABLO NERUDA too

Why Dorothy and Toto went OVER THE RAINBOW
To BLOW OFF Auntie Em

Bisexuals, TRISEXUALS, HOMOSAPIENS,
Carcinogens, HALLUCINOGENS, MEN,
Pee Wee Herman
GERMAN WINE, turpentine, GERTRUDE STEIN
ANTONIONI, BERTOLUCCI, KUROSAWA
CARMINA BURANA

To APATHY, to ENTROPY, to empathy, ECSTASY
VACALV HAVEL, THE SEX PISTOLS, 8BC
To NO SHAME, NEVER PLAYING THE FAME GAME

TO MARIJUANA

To SODOMY
It's BETWEEN GOD and ME

To S&M

To DANCE
No way to make a living, MASOCHISM, pain, PERFECTION
Muscle SPASMS, chiropractors, short-careers, eating disorders

To FILM
ADVENTURE, Tedium. NO FAMILY, boring locations,
Dark rooms, perfect faces, egos, money,
Hollywood and sleaze!

To MUSIC
FOOD OF LOVE, EMOTION, mathematics, ISOLATION,
Rhythm, POWER, feeling, harmony, and heavy competition

To ANARCHY
REVOLUTION, JUSTICE, SCREAMING for SOLUTIONS,
FORCING CHANGES, RISK, and DANGER,
MAKING NOISE and MAKING PLEAS

To FAGGOTS, LEZZIES, DYKES, CROSS DRESSERS too

To people living with
NOT DYING FROM
DISEASE

Let he among us WITHOUT SIN
Be the FIRST to CONDEMN

Anyone OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM
Is anyone in the mainstream?
Anyone ALIVE - with a SEX DRIVE
TEAR DOWN THE WALL
Aren't we all

THE OPPOSITE OF WAR ISN'T PEACE
IT'S CREATION

VIVA LA VIE BOHEME
