PERFORMANCE POEMS

THOSE POEMS PERFORMED BY THE SOLUBLE FISH

Letter To The Minotaur

This poem is about the fear of dying

A MOMENT ON A BALCONY

Who chooses what? Do we fold up our life and put it in our pocket, and walk away? Only later, after being made to empty our pockets, on demand, you find what you thought you had, is not there!

Against

Against it all Against the wall

Ain’t it all a joke

(Performance Poem) Inside departments In smaller compartments Without expectations Limited imaginations Ain’t it all a joke Ain’t it all a joke

BETWEEN THE SCREAMS OF YIN AND YANG

But if the wind blows.... Our wind, the wind of our making The wind of all winds That will crack our teeth, and still our tongue, and eat our breath.

BRITANNICA

Britannica Britannica Hungry as the ocean Sucking souls beneath her crest Sexy salty sailors Surfing on her rising breasts Sinking deep into her waters Thinking they are blessed

The Painter

An alchemist’s air is needed to fly. He sucks the ether reading the temperature of his soul. His brain is like a raw swollen sun in his heightened romance of being.

THE BEAT

Beat beat The iron hearts jangle in sync to the sound of money Voices fall from slashed flesh into beer glasses like slops You’re bluish eye cuts me down You’re stabbing words remain

Let me Breathe

(performance poem) Give me some kind of space let me breathe Odd numbers count too as well you know Give me some kind of space where the sky belongs to me

Vision on TV

(Performance poem) You touch that dial it makes you glassy eyed Cool waves of energy

The Dance

(Performance Poem) The dance The dance into new space Foot prints on virgin sands Wind blown minds Shipping out Yeah I’m shipping out

The Nirvana Express

Weird on riddles – lured by life’s mystique Dead ideals from alpha to omega A pile of dust is offered In place of the promised form

THE GEOGRAPHY OF STUPIDITY

I surface from the underground periscopes high I to eye the hue and cry entering the envelope astounded by the surround back on the merry-go-round running away – running away

YOU

I sit in the shadows my distance to find gazing into that black mirror of mind you walk into my landscape still time tangles up taut -- yesterday, today with tomorrow

YOU CUT ME

O telescope me I will not be kept within the dimensions of mere mathematics I've got Chinese thinking I've got a puzzled mind I have sneaky suspicions I have doubt all the time

New Dawn?

Crazy clocks tick time at the root between the ticks and tocks In this new moment gods are smashed by speed beyond wings

Metaverse

When I'm in my element I conjure up an elephant But of course it's just a symbol for a problem in my life
