~untitled~ / Dale Houstman
George Dance
I stumbled on a kangaroo
Whose humid pouch was crowded
With castanets and minarets,
A jungle ape with cigarettes
In ziggurats or kitchenettes
And three petunias powdered.
"Three petunias powdered?!"
Screamed the sad Dauphin
On porpoise to his corpus,
The body of Gauguin.
"Yes, three petunias powdered!"
I - unconscious - deemed to answer
Though I was dressed in permapress
And behatted with a hot compress
Which caused me such a bright distress
I married a jazz dancer.

When you shift between your two distinct modes of personality, utterly
dense and densely bereft - do you experience a discomforting feeling of
vertigo, or have you learned to ignore your own meandering pointlessness?

Oh, but isn't it charming, too?
Will Dockery
Are you asking him if he feels empathy for you, or just making another
statement from your experience, Dale?
Obviously he "feels your pain".

"M." off, so I should repost.
I see another reason to repost, that of fixing the title. Dale has
posted several untitled pieces onto AAPC, and if they're to be
properly archived, one can't be referring to them all as "untitled."
So I think it'll be better to use first lines as identifiers instead.

Good self-critique there, DMH, but don't you find it "charming", as
well?
I suppose you wrote this one yourself?

NaPo 2009 was indeed a good month for Houstmanologists. Not only did
~While sporking through a pile of poo~ get rediscovered and properly
archived, but in addition dmh revealed that he was the author of
~Father's Little Trumpets~ that appeared here in March, and which
contained these memorable lines:
[...]
Now Father’s in the hedgerow
He’s hunting down the shark
Who infiltrated Mommy
And left a German Mark
Which paid for tea and kippers
But would not cover rent
On their Arkansastani condo
(also known as The Pup Tent).

Yikes! There's over 600 poets there; and the only names I recognized
(besides Prof. Singh) were Sheema Kalbasi (one of the editors) in Vol.
3, and Billy Collins in Vol. 30 -- and I was searching for Collins at
the time. Oh, yeah, I noticed Desi DeNardo (a Toronto poet too, but I
think only because she was in Vol. 30 almost right beside Collins.
It's going to take a long time to even read everything once, and then
I doubt I'd remember that much of it.
What I plan to do is treat it like a magazine I don't have to
subscribe to: to bookmark it, and go in and read one poet at a time.
I've read about 15 or 20 that way and, to tell you the truth, they're
already starting to blur a bit in my head.

*it's a good place to go to get
"inspired." it helps with
recognizing the "humanity" in writing.
