"This hotel that I'm working tonight
is nothing but people who haven't seen
their toes in two decades and millionaires
with no class...geez, how did the gene pool
get so shallow?"--Artist Patrick Thorne

Wanda Rahm: Mikel K ia a pretty cool
Atlanta based poet/performance artist
I knew from way way back in the day.

Baron Von Mundy: Ironic that he’s a
poet. He looks more like the guy that
comes to give you a thrashing when
you miss your protection money payment.

I have been seeing gray. It was suggested to
me, yesterday,that I might have cataracts, which
I do. The eye doctor has been waiting to get rid
of them; I forget the reason why, butI am going
to call him on Monday. Someone said that I could
treat cataracts with apple cider vinegar, but my
eyes seem to important to me to fuck around with
home remedies.

It is St. Patrick's Day, and I am in

Little 5 Points, where a large number
of people are dressed in green. One fellow
has his filthy shirt off, and is using it
as a pillow; he is passed out on the
sidewalk, right in the middle of all the
happy action in The Square.

I relate to this guy more than I relate to
all the revelers dressed in green. In the
past, when I was still drinking, I often
passed out in some pretty strange places.

Alcohol can be a friend to some of us,
and a cruel enemy to others.

I can't write and talk at the same time

I am the observer, right now, somewhat hoping
that no one who knows me sees me on this patio
of the coffee shop, and sits down to chat.

Most people are at work now

On a Monday Morning
you can get one of
the swings at the park
that sit by the pond
that you can't get
on the weekend.

-----------------------------
The day before the first day of spring

My body is moving slow
there is nowhere to go to
but where I am,
sitting by the pond
ducks and geese abound,
birds chirping,
dogwoods blooming.
-------------------------------

My dad used to say, "If you're hungry
enough,you will eat it!!" I am applying
this theory to my dogs, who are balking
at the small amount of apple cider vinegar


They never miss a meal. The K Dogs: Morrison on rt, and Dylan. (Photo by K).
that I am, now, adding to their meals
because it is supposed to be wonderful
for them. I am, also. spraying ACV on
Morisson's hot spots, and it is helping
immensely. I wish I hadn't bought this
$36 bottle of stuff from the fancy pet
store, that didn't work at all.

Kill The Enemy

Just another day in the neighborhood
the women and the children they are looking good.
Someone dropped a bomb in the middle of my dream,
now I want to join The Mafia The CIA The infantry.
What went wrong who hates us why?
Who are we who they hate is it all of us:
the mailman the workingman the single mom
the little league dad.

Who stole the oil who raped the land who killed
their women and children and said it was us?

Which revolution should i buy into?


The Failure Cat Says, "NO!!"
Which TV speaks the truth?
Which newspaper reports to me in “our” best interest?

The revolution will not.
The revolution will not.

(From The K Book, "They Shot Bob Marley
Outside The Dakota.")

I love living. It's really fun!

He's a heavy weight
and thus, I am a light weight,
unless we can somehow
weigh ourselves together.
--------------------------------
I have all that I need,
and I'm trying to limit what I want.
There is nothing wrong with eating at home,
I don't need to eat at a fancy restaurant.

Joan got to shoot Trombone Shorty, and his amazing band, Avenue A, at a private party in Atlanta. It was a great night. Joan is a great photographer. (Photo by Just Joan).
If I needed a friend, on you

Mikel K: "We're beginning to see the beginning

Sloan Carroll Rainwater I think the little lady might be right.
Mikel K: Run like Hell.
Sloan Carroll Rainwater I've already started making plans.

Respect

The cats do not respect my poems
they kick them to the ground
so they can lay down on them.
----------------------------
Get off of The Stage, son: you've used up
all your time. (You know who you are).

Against my window you lay your head.
I didn't know you, so I put a bullet
between your eyes.

It is three o'clock, and I am having
my first cup of coffee, and, yes, I have
the lack of caffeine headache that


Another Just Joan Photo: Trombone Shorty is seen here being part of, instead of being the star for every single minute of the show. He shares his limelight with his band. Special thanks to Adam Avery for being so kind.

----------------------------------------

I am starting the day with a beautiful
cup of coffee, and an amazing singer-songwriter,
Andy Browne. I am listening, again, as I do so
often to his, “Chemical Road Promo CD.” You
really should buy a copy of this disc.
I guarantee that you will LOVE IT!

The K Kolumn Other Person Poem of The Week

Penis

I want a penis
I want to give birth to it
so I can teach it to be nice.
Teach it to be gentle,


K Artist of The Week: Glenn Fox www.GLENNFOX.com
teach it how to love.
I want it to ejaculate itself on the floor
spread it into the wood
and teach it how to be perfect history
without war and bloody hands.
I want to wash it, dry it,
hang it out to dry on a sunny day.
I want to set it on the window sill
have it look out at the flowers,
look to the sky and listen to the sound
of a child's laughter.
I want to introduce it to my friends,
have them pet it nicely, never being afraid.
I want my penis to feel the tears of women
and understand the animal cruelty of its nature.
I want my penis to be deaf, never listening
to the voices that define what it means to be a man.

--Diana May-Waldman
