John Ashbery - They Knew What They Wanted

They all kissed the bride.
They all laughed.
They came from beyond space.
They came by night.

They came to a city.
They came to blow up America.
They came to rob Las Vegas.
They dare not love.

They died with their boots on.
They shoot horses, don’t they?
They go boom.
They got me covered.

They flew alone.
They gave him a gun.
They just had to get married.
They live. They loved life.

They live by night.
They drive by night.
They knew Mr Knight.
They were expendable.

They met in Argentina.
They met in Bombay.
They m...

Indulge Me

Indulge me
All my old lovers have found others
I was lost in the rapture
Dead sea as barren as a stutter
And colored laughter
I don’t trouble nobody
Nobody troubles my body after
All my old others have found lovers

Indulge me

God Is a Loosy Cigarette I Want to Smoke

 

I lost me. I ran away.

 

If there is a god why did it fill my heart
with turpentine, saltwater and doubt?

 

Oh my god, fuck it.
Oh my fuck, god it.

 

I haven’t lost god, it’s lost me.
I’ve run away from the god in me.

 

I’ve learned how to hunt and find food
but god is a butter I will never spread
I have replaced god with prescriptions.

 

Hello, my name is Thomas Fucaloro

Anne Sexton - The Kite

Cape Cod, 1954-1959

 

Here in front of the summer hotel
the beach waits like an altar.
We are lying on a cloth of sand
while the Atlantic noon stains
the world in light.
                                 It was much the same
five years ago here. I remember
how Ezio Pinza was flying a kite
for the children. None of us noticed
it then. The pleated lady
was still a nest of her knitting.
Four pouchy fellows kept their policy
of gin and tonic while trading some money.
The parasol girls slept, sun-sitting
their l...

Wednesday Morning Atonement

"Wednesday Morning Atonement" by Curtis Harding from the album 'Face Your Fear,' available October 27th

John Ashbery - Passive/Aggressive

We were driving along
at twenty-five miles an hour.
‘Desperate’ wants to know
how the angle tree has went. Or we now
can live over a wombat factory,
said the woman coming in to see him
about something.

And I was like,
a beautiful little tree, or lake.
Just the sandwiches now,
we’ll look at the rest later
when you’re out of time …
Oh yeah? Oh, yeah. That’s it.
The water has swirled away to a
secret hiding place deep within earth.

Timid thing
out hitting the sun,
get me some peas … You’re going tomorrow,
ribal...

how do you sleep?

Standing on the shore, facing east
I can't feel you

Standing on the shore, facing east
Your impermanence
You're taking water
Listing lazily out of view

I remember when we were friends
I remember calling you friend

Standing on the shore my ear aimed east
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore

I still remember
Laughing and fighting
I still remember

Standing on the shore, watching for you
You're painted into a corner
Whatever fits in your pockets; you'll get your...
