UNSUB

Fixated.
I can't control it.
Blinding rage.
Speaking to me from within.
A spark in the darkness of chaos.
Irrepressible emotional noise.
One way to own it.
You are the thing I must possess.
I covet what is inside.
I wish I could forget.
What has been done.
Just like the rest.
Shunned by society.
It makes no difference now.
Watching your every move.
Biding my time.
Nothing is chance.
Guided by fate.
Others will do in the meantime.
Placeholder replicants.
Disposable clones.
I consume them like breathing.
The hunt is just a game to me.
Proof of my superior intellect.
I am the most cunning warrior.
While you are less than nothing.
Until it's time to strike.
Briefest moment possible.
You will  be special to me.
Be patient and take my time.
You will go quietly.
I will take a trophy.
To honor and remember this.
And you will not know peace.
Even as you beg for it.
Just a means to an end.
What I do is feed the beast.
To keep it at bay.
To satiate the hunger.
But you already knew that.
Too late.

You are witness to a great and powerful becoming...

Feeling Kinda Patton

Charmed I'm sure...... Patton Oswalt is one of my favorite comedians and one of the smartest, funny people alive. His point blank sarcasm colors his observational humor in a twisted way which confounds some, but makes perfect sense to me. I have long been a fan and while his star is rising of late, it seems like he is only just now getting widely recognized as one of the better, more important humans among us. Most people know Patton from his stand up specials, from his role as Spence on The King of Queens on CBS and the Pixar animated movie Ratatouille . You may have also seen him on VH1's Best Week Ever (he was fired for making fun of Paris Hilton), Zoolander, Blade: Trinity , Reno 911 , The Comedians of Comedy tour, Blood Into Wine , Lewis Black's Root of All Evil show and some of Comedy Central's Roast of ... episodes. Patton has had a big impact on me through his stand up and through his brilliant albums Feeling Kinda Patton (United Musicians) Werewolves...

MOVIE REVIEW: HOWL

Written and Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman ( Werk Werc Studios ) I went to the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline, MA to watch the movie Howl staring James Franco as the late, great Beat poet Allen Ginsberg. Warning: I am a huge poetry fan and Ginsberg is one of my idols so this review is going to be fairly one-sided. When I was 15 my uncle Lenny gave me his copy of Howl and Other Poems and told me "I could learn a lot from it”. Lenny being an eccentric artist, musician and intellectual was always trying to broaden my horizons and I was always eager to check out whatever new thing he had to share. I was by no means a sheltered kid growing up. Howl just blew the doors off of a lot of dark and light corners off life I really had no clue about at the time. I was already trying to write my own poetry as an early teen with primitive attempts at song lyrics, sonnets etc, but after reading that book and absorbing other Beat Generation titles I tried to raise it up t...

Five new poems

Redux Here I am crying a single tear for you again. As if you ever really cared. Every now and then I slip once more back to the moment before I tried to forget. A dream that still goes unfulfilled. Holding on to you that night was a feeling I wanted to save forever. Now what I cling to instead is the loss of something I never had in the first place. Or did I? "Just one more wishbone." Be like water. A storm rages outside, but it's nothing compared to the one in my heart. Rain beats a furious pattern on my windowpane, but is silenced next to the bass drum in my head. Tempestuous emotions overtake me and I cannot still these raging pools. Memories flooding in again and again. Disarming my senses and drowning all hope. Add caption Middle Child. Where did you go to? Why did you leave? How cruel is fate? Why do I still mourn? These and many other riddles gnaw at my soul. I wish the two hands of logic and reason could shake this dullness out of me. So I could kn...
