get rid of the actor

in this case
I is the ego the I of the we
which includes
but is not exclusively
that thing called the ‘me’
i often think of suicide
berryman parker rock n roll pacts
now those guys take better advice
on how not to choke on their own vomit
head butt a metro
or take a last drunken drive
to nowhere boredom the river
to find they can’t decide
which self to kill that day
only to traipse back home the way they came
with the help of a clarks commando compass
JADED ROCK STAR POET

GOES BACK ON HER OWN TRACKS
has a nice cup of tea and a bite on the bullet
before reassessing the weight of facts
i am hoping to provoke you
to give you a spiritual jolt
(as tarkovsky says)
if that means i have to be crude i will be
vituperative
absurd
delirious and terrible
if you don’t like the sound of those words
we’d better head you for the exit
net bxhoda
on to the next life sentence
lets turn over another page
get rid of the I
get rid of the me
get rid of macdonalds
get rid of the gun
get rid of the actor
get rid of the sea
get rid of tomorrow and death and forgiveness
get rid of your lover
get rid of history
get rid of danny glover

get rid of poetry.
