COLORS


She tells me about a dinner that she had with a
friend
and it sounds so animated, and she is so full
of life
and color

Tells me about some of his many
-no doubt many-
whimsical observations of things that occurred
that they both shared
and I wonder if she ever shows the colors that
we shared
together

And I feel
jealous
and envious
of this friend
and her color

She, repeating lines
Me, crossing them
with crayons.

Clarence Schmidt
Karl Brendel and
Antonin Artaud
are still considered
outsiders.

"Well", I said to him, "Bikes come and go..."

I like and welcome all kinds of feedback on my work, so I thought I'd post the latest. It comes in response when I was looking for a referral for a computer tech...

"I just checked out www.crissum.com web site, not too thrilled to see that site. It leads off with "Spiritual Leader" which does not set very well. I do not like You Tub or visit sites like that, so may not be of any help."
