TheLizard Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I’m taking a brief leave from the American Dream and vague entities like liberty that mean everything and nothing to everybody and nobody and church and guilt for something I do not believe and being so angry all the time because you voted for somebody else and always plugged in I wrote this on a computer do I even own a pencil and we’re at war in Afghanistan we’ve always been at war in Afghanistan and what is Vietnam and what is two plus two anyway and maybe there are more gunshots here than there and all they were saying was give peace a chance and that was nice but I was not even born yet and is this beat or hippie or punk or just goddamn pretentious and wanting to be Morrison or Ginsberg when I know that the only way to be Morrison or Ginsberg is to not be Morrison or Ginsberg and building a fence whitewashing history whitewashing music whitewashing all of it and me white affluent suburban silly no right to complain no right to complain at all so I come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Love it. I loved it right after you posted it, and I've loved it the 3 times I've read it since then. I figured I should say so. It's really, really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 TimLizzy, as you know I'm not much of a poetry critic, but I will say that this is pretty cool. I had to read it a couple (4) times over to get the full meaning and effect (I'm slow) but all I can say is I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
