Driving through the combat zone
a rasta steps out,
sort of calling my name ---
a reasonable approximation.
Variation of my street name I guess.
Said he could take me to see Raine,
apparently the rastas have her locked up in a house
somewhere in the combat zone.
He wanted money for his information,
at which point I was to park and walk.
It seemed very sinister, but he smoothed it over fairly often.
I said I'd come back later,
when the bad vibes wore down.
Rasta gets crazy on me in the car,
wanting five dollars, two bucks, anything.
I give him nothing, just smoke and think.
He's got an ice pick in his hand,
then he makes like he's got a gun.
I'd already heard Raine was in jail
but i didn't expect a rasta jail.
The image crossed my mind how it would feel
if he jabbed that icepick into me
a couple of times or more.
Just curious to see if he'd do it or not,
could I stop him, I could tell he didn't know.
As we stare and talk about money.
I bummed a cigarette from him.
I told him I'd be in touch about seeing Raine.
He said, "Man, you crazy.", and walked off.
I went back home to think.

interesting. now you're crossposting your piece of shit to AAPC, obviously
hoping for even MORE attention. even when chuckles, the very king of pathetic
attention, posted his stolen poetry to these newsgroups he didn't post a
follow-up message begging for notice if he received none the first time.
which tells me that you're not here for the poetry, dockery, you're here for the
attention. it's why you crosspost to so many different groups. what other reason
could you have to posting to Alt.Pagan? they're not a poetry newsgroup, and the
themes of your writing really don't have much to do with Paganism.
and really, what are you getting all pissy about? you're getting what you want,
aren't you?

since i have a true love and respect for humanity, i have deleted this comical

have been revealed, by your own hand, no less.
we already know chuckles has no shame. now we know you don't either. not that

Will, I like this one. we all need to trim some. the bone and flesh were real.
ying
being a chuckles-like liar, i don't imagine you would know what you were
"seeing" if it was right in front of your face.
you only crossposted this message to AAPC after i made a comment on your typical
piece of shit.
why? because you wanted the attention.
and again i ask, why are you posting this piece of shit to the Pagan newsgroup?
they're not a poetry newsgroup? what other reason could you have then to attract
attention over there, with the added hope that someone over there will give you
the uninformed praise you so richly, and might i add, pathetically, desire.
anyway, you're inept dancing around the issue isn't doing you any good. with
each transparent denial you make, you reveal more and more your reasons for
being here. at least chuckles has the excuse of being a psychopath. what's your
excuse?
Thanks, Ying. I'm learning to trim that extra flesh of hubris and chutzpah
from the poems, and reading aloud at poetry redings helps this, as well,
which I've been doing more of again, lately. I'm planning a quick trip to
Atlanta for a reading there that happens on Tuesdays, which I usually miss,
because of the local one. Time to get out and about, on as broad a level as
possible.
To tie in with this, I just put the finishing touches on a new chapbook of
poems, the first I've done in some time... a couple of years, actually. I'm
calling it... "Irony Waves". Any of my pals on Usenet who'd like a copy,
just slip me a S.A.S.E. to:

Grammar and syntax. It might work if you end-stopped the L1 with a
period, even though it's not a sentence. But as you've got it, it reads
as though the rasta man steps out while he's driving. Also, isn't it
derogaroty to say 'rasta' instead of rasta man? I don't know, check it up.

You've used up three lines to say what can be said in one line. You're
not writting a treatise on your name and its variations.

Instead of repeating 'combat zone,' think about providing sharp and
concrete details that would make your reader picture this environment.

Way too wordy. Let's not even talk about rhythm -- even as prose this
reads very loose and circumlocutory. Edit, edit and edit some more,
mercilessly.

Some of this is interesting to read, even though it's quite verbose and
reads more like a short story than a poem. Why not just write it as
prose? The line breaks don't really serve any purpose here. The ending
kinda runs out of steam. 'I went back home to think' -- that's boring.
Don't limit yourself to the experience. Invent, create, use your
imagination to build a narrative that's interesting.

True, wish now I'd just quoted him, six years later, I've at least
temporarily forgotten the interesting twist/mistake he made when he didn't
yell the usual "Stoneman" at me... maybe my memory will serve me better, a
bit later.

Apparently, they had her locked up under house arrest in a crack house,
turning her out... even if I could have figured a way to save her, I've
never been sure if she even wanted to be saved.

I've thought of writing that 1995-98 time period down in prose... maybe I'll
get some good speed and type it up sometime soon, after alll.

That would use more details... the other things happening at the time that
had to be kept seperate. I think the prose idea might suit this period of
time well.

i think not, dockery. i do not make claims, such as: "i am only here for the
poetry" then disprove such a dishonest claim by my actions. you, on the other
hand, do this.
the proof is in your actions. you crosspost this to several different
newsgroups, and when no one comments on your unspeakable shit, you post once
again for attention.
your actions belie your words, dockery. if you're too stupid and delusional,
like chuckles, to realize this, it's not my fault.
>> and again i ask, why are you posting this piece of shit to the Pagan
>newsgroup?
>
>Because I want to? How's that... you okay with that?
you may do as your wish, oh lousy liar. but i shall inform you of your real
reasons for posting. and i have not been proven wrong.
i shall explain to you once more: you post to other newsgroups in hopes of
eliciting comments, good or bad. granted, you probably prefer good comments,
because good comments assist you in keeping your pathetic delusions alive. but
if you can't get good comments, then you will take bad ones so that you can act
out your "i'm so wronged" fantasies. either way, it's a pathetic "win-win" for
you.
also to add, you will accept ANY comments from a female, good or bad. those are
your favorites. perhaps you masturbate as you read them? perhaps comments, good
or bad, from females gets you off. who knows? who really cares? but the fact is,
you drool every time a female even notices you. it's very obvious, dockery.

what delusional stupidity! why would anyone in their right mind want to
seriously read your unspeakable shit?
but you again (badly, as always) evade my question. in RAP and AAPC (which you
attached as a crosspost, AFTER i started commenting on this unspeakable piece of
shit) posting a poem is on-topic.
but posting a poem in the Pagan newsgroup really isn't on-topic. that being so,
what is your reason for posting to the Pagan newsgroup? i will tell you. it
fulfills your pathetic desire for attention.
this really is too easy, dockery.
>you reveal more and more your reasons for
>> being here.
>
>Nothing to reveal. From the start I've been here, posting poems, and will
>continue to.
of course you will. what else is there for you to do? you're a 46 year old clown
who delivers pizza. how fucking fulfilling could your life be?
so, shall we recap? let's:
1) you write unspeakable shit.
2) you have no desire to get better.
3) you post here for attention, not for poetry, despite your protests, which you
do far too much for me not to be hitting a nerve.
4) you're a lousy liar.
5) if you would only kill yourself, you'd have more friends than you could ever
possibly imagine. no, really, you would, everyone would then like you.
well, i think that's everything in a nutshell. thanks for letting me set you
straight. it seems like i have to do this a lot. but deep down, i am an opimist.
> i think not, dockery. i do not make claims, such as: "i am only here for
the
> poetry"
I *never* wrote "I am ONLY here for the poetry"... I like to have fun, too.
But I *am* here for the poetry, and your repititions otherwise will not
change that fact.
> the proof is in your actions. you crosspost this to several different
newsgroups,
I've always crossposted, and always will. I like the mixture of voices it
can bring in.
> your actions belie your words, dockery. if you're too stupid and

When in doubt, rely on personal attacks. That's your pattern, I don't expect
you to change... so keep it up, I guess.
> >> and again i ask, why are you posting this piece of shit
Because I feel it's a pretty good poem.

Hey, I called *you* the Liar, first, you lousy liar.

Well, that makes sense, you idiot.
> also to add, you will accept ANY comments from a female, good or bad.

Yeah, those are good, but I don't really have a preference.
perhaps you masturbate as you read them?
No, but it *is* an idea, sometime down the line maybe... *grin*
> you drool every time a female even notices you. it's very obvious,
dockery.
How is it obvious... show some proof.
> >You have a problem with attention, don't you?
No, you seem to crave much more attention than I do, without even working at
it. You won't even post your poetry!
> >you reveal more and more your reasons for

Nothing to reveal. From the start I've been here, posting poems, and will
continue to.
> of course you will. what else is there for you to do? you're a 46 year old

If you count the poetry, then I'm set.

Liar. I do have the desire.

You're really hung up on this one.
> 4) you're a lousy liar.
I wriote the truth... you're the liar.
> 5) if you would only kill yourself
That will never happen.
you are here for the attention your unspeakable pieces of shit can bring you.
that is it, dockery. why would you post a second time begging people for
comments?
care to try again?
>> the proof is in your actions. you crosspost this to several different

>
>Well, that makes sense, you idiot.
but not to learn how to write poetry, which you cannot do, nor do you care if
you do or don't. you post for attention, so that either people will tell you
you're a wonderful poet, which you are not, or to tell you your shit is shit,
which it is, so that you play your victimization game.
> > also to add, you will accept ANY comments from a female, good or bad.
>those are

>
>Yeah, those are good, but I don't really have a preference.
how amusing. you're a terrible liar, dockery. all we have to do is look at your
responses. a female could call you the worst poet in the world and you can
almost hear the Astroglide bottle squirting from your direction. it really is
quite obvious.
> perhaps you masturbate as you read them?
>
>No, but it *is* an idea, sometime down the line maybe... *grin*
no doubt. so i guess then you're not here for the poetry? just the masturbatory
fun that such attention gives you?
>> you drool every time a female even notices you. it's very obvious,

of course. the chances that someone will give you want you desire most is always
there.

It seems my last reply to your last reply may be lost in the electric
wilderness of Usenet, JRS... in which JRS continues to see the world
through shit colored glasses. Here's the poem, comments and criticism
is welcomed:
what you inconceivably call poetry is unspeakable shit. i also notice that you
have crossposted to even more newsgroups in hope of gaining more attention. why
must you keep proving me right? are you really that dumb?
>Wipe the shit out of your eyes, and
>perhaps you can see this. You wallow in shit, and you're covered in it.

>> you crosspost in hopes other will notice your unspeakable pieces of shit.
>
>Ah, a new phrase to repeat endlessly. I begin to think you're nothing but a
>spambot, JRS.
i know for a fact that you're nothing but a pathetic troll on the constant
look-out for suckers stupid enough to play your attention games and tell you
what a great poet you are. this is why you crosspost between several different
newsgroups. this is why you post some of the worst writing on the net. spare us
your claims of your love of "poetry", all right? that you're here to gain
pathetic attention is just so obvious. that you write unspeakable shit is even
more obvious. that i must constantly point these facts out to you is just too
much fun for me.
it's really that simple.
since there was no one in AAPC or RAP who would defend the unspeakable shit that
you call writing, you've now crossposted this excrement to even more newsgroups
in hopes of finding someone who will come tell you how wonderful you are?
why must you constantly prove me right?

I don't just "call" it writing, JRS, it *is* writing. It needs no defense.

Of course not, JRS. That's your game [which I think you're lousy at... as
with everything you attempt, apparently]. I write poetry, mostly:

that's lame, even for you.
>I write poetry,
why do you keep insisting that the unspeakable shit that you write should be
called poetry?
if i wasn't right about this, dockery, you wouldn't be complaining so much.
obviously you're pretty insecure about the unspeakable shit that you produce,
and your reasons for posting it here.
as always, a recap is necessary:
1. you post shit.
2. you post this shit hoping someone will a) tell you you're wonderful, b) tell
you the truth so that you can fulfill your victimazation fantasies.
3. you crosspost to many different newsgroups so that you can a) get more
suckers to tell you you're wonderful, b) get more people to tell you you write
shit so that you can fulfill your victimazation fantasies.
it's really pretty simple, dockery.
but it's still unspeakable shit, right, dockery? we can at least agree on that,
can't we?
unspeakably, embarrassing shit. right?

I said, some of Will's poetry was indeed worthy poetry. Should you had

Yeah, JRS' poetry is terrible, but he say that doesn't matter, remember?
Actually, his flames leave a lot to be desired, as well, but that probably
doesn't count, either.

well, again, the question begs like dockery, how would you know what is good and

indeed! the quality of my writing has nothing to do with the fact that you write
unspeakable shit.

>j r, even a man who has sex with a child, deserves more respect than you.
so chuckles, are you saying that you've had sex with a child?
that's a rather terrifying confession....
when did this happen? have you attempted to make resititution to this child you
had sex with, because it probably damaged the child forever.
are you sure this is something you wish to admit in public? on-line? in front of
everyone?
i hope, for your sake, there are no police officers reading these newsgroups.
i'm startled.
>I said, some of Will's poetry was indeed worthy poetry.

GOD, yingy, i didn't realize you hated me so much!
>Am I lying?
more like crazy, actually.
given what we have to go on here, how do you know? i mean you can tell yourself
all you want that you're young and have a good paying job, and that's not going
to be the truth, no matter how many times you say it. neither is your insecure
claims that you're a good.... i can't say it. let me try: that the unspeakable
shit that your produce is any good, which it is not.
the truth often hurts, dockery.
how is pointing out to all that you write unspeakable shit on a poetry newsgroup
an "obsession"?
now if you want an obsession, it's posting to an original post of yours, begging
for comments. obsessive AND pathetic.
Of course you'd respond this way, you retarded kook, because you
automatically become the enemy of any fight against illiteracy.

Because it is hard to find one that fits the rest of your ugly body.
Each post you make is essentiallly the same, since you repeat the same
words over and over, with hardly any changes. I repost the poem so
anyone reading this post can see the poem and make up their own minds.
You keep snipping it for the opposite reason. I think there's a Usenet
term for "derailing" a thread, and it happens with threads all over
Usenet. This is the truth about what's happening on this thread, or,
what you want to happen.

Combat Zone
Driving through the combat zone
a rasta steps out,
sort of calling my name ---
a reasonable approximation.
Variation of my street name I guess.
Said he could take me to see Raine,
apparently the rastas have her locked up in a house
somewhere in the combat zone.
He wanted money for his information,
at which point I was to park and walk.
It seemed very sinister, but he smoothed it over fairly often.
I said I'd come back later,
when the bad vibes wore down.
Rasta gets crazy on me in the car,
wanting five dollars, two bucks, anything.
I give him nothing, just smoke and think.
He's got an ice pick in his hand,
then he makes like he's got a gun.
I'd already heard Raine was in jail
but i didn't expect a rasta jail.
The image crossed my mind how it would feel
if he jabbed that icepick into me
a couple of times or more.
Just curious to see if he'd do it or not,
could I stop him, I could tell he didn't know.
As we stare and talk about money.
I bummed a cigarette from him.
I told him I'd be in touch about seeing Raine.
He said, "Man, you crazy.", and walked off.
I went back home to think.

well, i would compare you to others who post poetry here.
you lose on that one.
i would compare you to teenagers who post poetry in other areas in the ether.
you again lose in the comparison.
i would compare you to the poetry that is written by the mentally challenged.
yep, you lose.
i would compare you to the random grocery lists i find outside of grocery
stores.
the grocery lists are much more poetic and creative then your unspeakable shit.
i would compare you to the scribblings done by monkeys as an experiment at UCSF.
the monkeys are better. really, they are.
i have compared you to the tiny electro-wave impulses given off by plant
life....
and have discovered that there is more creative thought and poetic ability from
the tiny electro-wave impulses in plant life than there is in your unspeakable
shit.
from this study there can only be one conclusion: in comparison to almost
anything, you're writing is unspeakable shit.
next week we start studying concrete and granite.... to see if concrete and
granite can produce better material then you.
i would not be hopeful if i were you.
yeah, thanks, Renay. i couldn't get that fucking song out of my head for the

Tuesday With Little Spain.
And I am shoved back into this night life.
Well, she said, she said, she said it was impossible.
There is a place, it smoulders, it is the past, dreamtime,
wander these dark corridors of memory.
I sleep so deep, I don't like to sleep,
my dreams threaten to take me away.
Floating in a sea of bad vibes, I do these things over and over,
repentatively, feel regret but keep doing it over and over.
Then the whole thing becomes a blur.
Grey and pasted, patched together with spackling
and sheet rock mud, a disgusted perversion of humanity.
During the decline and fall of poetry, in the summer of sardonic excess,
I sat with Little Spain on her steps, and felt her softness.
Still a sky poet, though tattered and glowing,
brought down from Blue Territory, no longer in Blue Territory.
I wandered by a cold river in the flaming copper land of summer.
This complete process of remaking we had, your mix of pales and shades,
your, disctinctive, mythic self, one distinct sing of your eyes...
I must bitterly understand our fate, we were never meant to be,
Like lost in the mirror'd rooms of a crazy house.
Crimson on the napkins,
pink fuzz on the clover.
Maneuver to the left, and forward,
into a mud soaked future.

Traditionally, crazy people have a habit of calling other people crazy. I
think this may be the case, here.

sorry, dockery, tis not i who imagines himself to be a "great" "poet". also, tis
not i who is pretending to be something i am not.
and most of all, tis not i who is crossposting unspeakable shit to non-topic
newsgroups in a pathetic need for attention.
oh sure, i could be a loser in other ways, but i am not a loser in all the
dockery ways. which does set me above you in basic loser ways.
it's really that simple.
the ONLY way your unspeakable shit could help the poetry world is as examples of
what not to do when writing.
if you wish to take pride in this, that's up to you, of course.
