only two beliefs removed from reality

So this manuscript thing is still feeling kinda
stupid. my best poems have always been spoken
with no one around. the things that finally go
on paper are bad copies of better times.
here goes pandora again with a strain
from my past. music can cure you kill you.


When I began writing I liked
 the concept of smaller poems. then
i began reality writing with encouragement.
i want to move past that if i'm really going to submit.
I still feel that poets must condense, distill
 the experience of   a synaptic
record, a 5 second
byte  of mutlimensions
using words alone   to  encompass
 the three dee world.

eden and djuana are very good at that.
haven't heard from eden in while.
but i don't go looking. i work best
under a spell or short sharp jab.

So, all writers have different process,
different tastes in what they like to read
which influences their own voice.
Which is fine, as long as we stay away
from parroting. When the board was in full swing
you could see the osmosis take off. Moods
wrote words, words pinged memories, memories
juxtaposed with dinner, gold dust sprinkling
our plates. oh it was a heady time for experiment
we cut and ate from multiple plates
a virtual burning man debate

 poets don't have partays
anyways,we have soirees
but the party must end
in order to begin again.

the partay now is taking that picture that cost me
a thousand words, posting it on your page
because we come here to share
in the beauty. we use memes
new mediums for the timez, cut our rhymz
with gold grillz designed
for the apocalypse, '84ing tweeter text,
 flash mob  the next   anonofest.
but the nsa  the kgb  the google bug  a chinese bee
is hiding in my bonnet, little drones of culpability
for the things we say and do and tag\
the things we share, all our brags  lined with schwag.
if consumer's what they what, consumer's what they get
as long as they give me a chance to win that gold corvette.

so the poem. how to write that? in form?
no form? form an different form break the form
from forum unknown?

i am not catholic
but the form appeals to me
saints , demons, confession, penance, absolution.

sometimes i read comments
on tragic news stories
 and despair of transcendence
