#308 February 7, 2010


resolutions forgotten
the F month is 1 week old
in one week more
we'll worship the imprisoned letter-writer, hallmark's bitches
one block on a calendar
when winter covers our memory, white-space
and spring is a mirage, soul-tease

can you remember 5 weeks back
what you promised yourself you'd do this year, again

#308b when?

motivation is a challenge in safe heated structures, catalogue quality houses
overstuffed with overstuffed leather and flat screen plasmas
overstuffed dreams and an unfullfilling reality
air conditioned comfort, conditioned responses
overweight pets mirroring owners
pre-fab homes and pre-fab lies
at every click of your remote controller
controlling you, not so remotely

we need a hero
a gandhi
a teresa who doesn't die in the regal paparazzi shadow
dennen sings of it
and franti
and others
but we need someone to take the bullshit by the horns
to act
not in the hollywood sense
but the human one
we need someone
i need someone
