the man who’s 90% chuckle,
number two, comfortable as a
dralon sofa, or number three,
the warden of Camp Kitsch.
The choice…is yours!

Frank Williams - d. June 26th 2022
late gothic and moribund,
uncertain of its boundaries.
A toothsome cleric sighs,
mounts the peeling pulpit.
Having nothing to say, he says
nothing, and yet so much.

Matt Zimmerman - d. June 9th 2022
looking for a red streak in the sky.
A star-soaked voice crackled
from the radio in Father's study,
and a swimming pool rippled.
Patricia Brake - d. May 28th 2022
in fake furs, scripted and portrayed
as heir apparent to the throne of
Muswell Hill, bursting onto set and
out of it, bristling at lags and lechers,
all spit and spine beneath that sweater.

Julee Cruise - d. June 9th 2022
a falling angel, echoing
from canyon to cantina,
part child, part woman,
breathing in strangeness,
breathing out romance.

Bruce Kent - d. June 8th 2022
Not for the powerful but for the weak.Not to tolerate horror but to face it.
Not to bear arms but to offer a cheek.
Not to wait for peace but to proclaim it.
Not for the bellicose but for the meek.
Not to inherit the world but to save it.Wednesday 8 June 2022
Paula Rego - d. June 8th 2022
paint what is partially there
but wholly felt, knowing a duty
of art is to defy and to confess.
Now you are a collage of air,
assembled from shocking beauty.

Dave Smith - d. May 31st 2022
to a click track which talks
to a drum machine which
talks to a bassline which
talks to a sequencer which
triggers a sample which
triggers a groove which
triggers feet, heart, head,
triggers an imagination.
