Val Val's Writing

October 21, 2009 / 12:27 pm

The rudeness of the
Day to day, the way
Brief moments are
Supposed to suffice.
The I have all day,
Then disappear, the
Insincere. The build
Me up and blow me
Up and wonder why
I'm so fucked up. The
I love you but only
When you're not you,
You're always wondering
What I can do for you.
The oh Val. The damn it,
Val. The you're never
Going to get it right, Val.
The way the pa…

Seven Day Pass

September 22, 2009 / 1:35 am

In the you-are-who
You-want-to-be
Category, I fail
Miserably. In the
Eyes of my family
I am not worth
The fee. Each day
Is new, condition
And shampoo, brush
And review, say
Thank you. I am
A hoarder of emotion,
A seeker of devotion.
If I can't have what
I want I turn into
The debutante. In my
Mind at least. My inner
Beast. Six years old and
Wanting fool's gold.

Downloading Drivers

August 8, 2009 / 2:01 am

Where do we always meet?
Way down there at the bottom of
The cheat sheet. Incomplete
Bedroom suite. Indiscreet
Whiskey neat. Backseat driving
All the way to surviving emotion.
Ocean separates, devotion waits.
Two am calls for free skate,
Was I looking for a soul mate?
Did I take the bait or are you the
Blue plate? Verbs I forgot to
Conjugate ready to procreate
And I am just linge…

I don't wanna talk about
How I feel, don't wanna
Seal the deal. Don't
Require that praise I used
To desire, one of these days
I'm jumping the next train,
Forget the mundane. You
Don't wanna be me when
The lights come on, I can
Recite the Gospel of John,
I forget what we agreed upon
But I know I'm withdrawn.
In a roundabout way I'm on
Alphanumeric display. If you
Can decode a Pindaric…

No Longer

March 21, 2008 / 2:22 pm

Live via satellite
Me through the line...
Yes, I've been gone.
Lost to my words and
Alone without connection
To internet pretension.
Floating despite the gravity
It's such a travesty that I
Jump jump jump from one
Bump bump bump to the
Next with no thought to the
Drought of my mind and the
Ties that bind and the tears
That will be cried no matter
What I tried yesterday or the
Way I swayed to the ti…

At 11:57pm on July 7th, 2008, Troy Bigelow said…: Hi, Val. Yes, you can use "Carnal College of Human Knowledge" as long as you credit the source in some way. I believe this is an institution that most of us non-traditional American poets have attented in some wet way at some hot time. Oh, what we can learn from our hearts and parts!

At 11:29pm on June 30th, 2008, Troy Bigelow said…: Hi, Val. I'm still in grad school at IPFW. I will graduate this fall with a Master's Degree in English, and a Hard Degree from the Carnal College of Common Knowledge, wherever the hell that is. I'm still writing poetry and fiction and "other" which is a true blend of both and Truth. Above all else . . . Truth. I think America is lacking in that real area. And boy, do I have alot of it to share. As do you, from what I remember in Garrett. Keep writing, Val. I remember your pure voice of experience. Share it without fear and I will share my reply. Without fear.
Only the honest are the poets.
We are the American honesty in print.
Stay with it, girl.

Love,
Troy

At 12:13am on March 12th, 2008, Sean said…: you should have read the non-edited version. "Seven years since I buried my mother."

I would love to read the non edited version.
you seem to write as a moment or a mood strikes you.
As if you must absolutely let it happen.
Please let me know if you want it to be read.

But if not, keep writing it anyway
Sometimes things written
need only be for the author
(And the PopCat of course!)

At 5:40am on January 31st, 2008, C. Boylan said…: no worries - there have been quiet intervals at work, so I get time to do a bit of reading.
lol at the joke below; I haven't heard that one for a while.

At 7:38pm on January 1st, 2008, Sean said…: Where is my story?
I am indeed expecting something "Wonderful".
At that point Hugh slipped sideways and said "I'll take care of the Ape, as you look rather pensive"
Hugh then flew up and about and ahead (for ahead was the only place to go). And the HouseApe followed along on Hughs Travel
