Joseph Ceravolo: Someone
28 August 1986
In a dream
someone showed me
a poem, short
a poem, short
and dynamic! I can't
remember
how it went
but it cleaned me.

Joseph Ceravolo: Night Strokes
1 April 1985
So much that I see, O night
is emptiness and pain
I come home and
what do I do?
The morning ice melts
along the edges
of my fire
My heart melts for
the new world of my children
and their happiness.
is emptiness and pain
I come home and
what do I do?
The morning ice melts
along the edges
of my fire
My heart melts for
the new world of my children
and their happiness.
Early America slips by me.
Ships, wagons, horses
walking running
beside the moonlight
along the river.
Ships, wagons, horses
walking running
beside the moonlight
along the river.
Then suddenly a bomb
smashes the nearby apartment house
an armored division
cuts through the block
searching out Islam renegades.
A communist band
cuts the jugular veins
of an encampment.
Fascists blow out brains
over the walls of a house.
An airplane of cocaine
blows up in the sky.
Capitalist "saints" self proclaimed
tear the balls off man
Chemicals burn the eyes
and livers of a village.
Islands of beauty burn up.
Earth doesn't weep
Nor do comets nor
yellow asteroids destined in some future
Nor stars in some implosion
Nor moon in some religion
Nothing weeps
only sleeps
O night, as the greed explodes
over our daily bread.

Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, are retaining scores of property investments while they work in the White House, according to financial disclosures likely to fuel concerns over a conflict of interest.
The Associated Press reported that the couple are holding on to assets of at least $240m while the New York Times, making a case that Kushner will continue to benefit from most of his business empire through a series of trusts, gave a figure of $741m.

The campsite is one of about 10 that dot the boggy terrain, and are a striking sight alongside the
brightly painted, low-slung buildings housing the multi-billion-dollar
corporation. The contrast epitomizes the Bay Area wealth gap.
Harold Schapelhouman, a fire chief whose department has dealt with conflagrations on the land, said he was struck by the disparities. “Their employees are very well taken care of. They have on-site medical facilities, dry cleaning, bicycle repair, they feed them and there are restaurants that are there. It’s amazing what Facebook does for its employees. And yet within eyeshot – it really isn’t that far – there are people literally living in the bushes.”
Schapelhouman said he was not blaming Facebook, though it is true that the success of technology companies has driven up real estate prices in the area. As a whole, California is one of the lowest-ranking US states for the availability of affordable housing, and has one-fifth of America’s homeless population. Irrespective of the utopianism that imbues Silicon Valley culture, the tech campuses are not immune to these broader social problems.

The Platters: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (1958)
ReplyDeleteThis song was mums favourite, when mum passed away in 1992 dad had it played at her funeral! and then it dawned on me where we were! I turned to dad and whispered "Only you could request "smoke gets in your eyes" in the fucking Crematorium! Mum would have been absolutely pissing herself laughing! God bless Mum, miss you every day.x
