sonic poetry
 

do it!

i want
some tomato (for Christmas)
so i can go to the supermarket
with SONIC YOUTH
and get more
…His fingers slightly
touching the shelves…
throw this in the basket
and we need that too
it’s my dream
all along
so why can’t i?
take pictures of his fingers?
…Thurston Moore, let’s talk hits of sunshine…
Remember, you wrote it (for allen ginsberg)
in brackets, just like that
i mean did you really write it for him?
i remember everything that you remember
i can’t wait to tell them million miles away
to say
i told you so
i told you that one day
I’ll go to the supermarket
with sonic youth.






[[don't make fun]]

i liked this bit. also the beginning with them brackets. have any more?

yeah one more i wrote a long time ago.

untitled - sonic youth
the tape runs a little still
but perfectly calm
the beat is only perfected
by itself
someone is scratching the surface
and they're born to tap their foot
moving these things
called lips
telling what they're gonna do
here's the past
on a silver platter
here's the future
in this black coffee mug
off the streets now
where's the synonym book
and what's a better word for...
saying these things
(pen all over our hands now)
today
and tomorrow
oh everyday
then, take it to the station
do they like what we've done
Saturday
wait till Saturday
and they'll all be
throwing it back to us
the singer
with their scratching
our past, future
all that black coffee
comes to a stop
you've stirred it enough
enough, k
shit. let's just play
the damn show.

i like that one better. it's got nice rythym to it.

thanks. you should try it, just listen to sonic youth and write whatever comes to mind

i used to write poetry. i think it was jsut a phase though. i can't get myself to write anything half decent anymore. better not to force it i say.

I tried poetry but then I got too self conscious and found myself explaining everything. Next thing I knew, it was a short story.

I write shit. I don't like to call it poetry, simply because that term has been slaughtered in recent years (by teenagers, ungh...).
Danny even posted one on his recent thread dedicated to me haha. Love that dude.

k-krack, i wrote you a poem once. some ridiculous shit. it's on some thread around here

haha I vaguely remember that. (Nothing about the words itself, but I recall you writing me a poem.

hah now i need to find it and show it to you

hahah here it is. i guess you hadn't been on the board in a while...

i know i haven't been around a while
but i'm still alive and well!
i bought six dogs and had a child
but golly gee i miss your smell

hip priest claims your good at i-spy
and i goddamn right agree
goodness me you're such a fly guy
we all miss your company

threesomes with schizo and the rest
good god those times were great
your sex it was the v ery best
so let's drop down and mate!

haha

hahaha fuck that rules. Rep is on its way.*
Man! I miss I-Spy!

*Rather, it would be on it's way, but I don't spread it enough, see...

that was back when we were in love
