AUGUST STRAMM IN A GARDEN

I am a poet.
(I am a garden.)
I am bushes
where songs hum.
Where dread breeds
in a pond's scum.
When sky is stretched
I fear the drought
when my gift
crawls back to its nest
of books. When streams
of greenfly
attack my tongue.
(August Stramm (1874-1915) German Futurist/Expressionist and member of the "Der Sturm" circle)

Roll the Dice

if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.

if you’re going to try, go all the
way. this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or
4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the
worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the
gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter,
it’s the only good fight
there is.

Bonus Poem:
Thought
O messenger, art thou the king, or I
?
Thou dalliest outside the palace gate

Till on thine idle armor lie the late

And heavy dews. The morn's bright scornful eye

Reminds thee; then, in subtle mockery,

Thou smilest at the window where I wait,

Who bade thee ride for life. In empty state

My days go on, while false hours prophesy

Thy quick return; at last, in sad despair,

I cease to bid thee, leave thee free as air;

When lo, thou stand'st before me glad and fleet,

And lay'st undreamed-of treasures at my feet.

Ah! messenger, thy royal blood to buy

I am too poor. Thou art the king, not I.
H.H. Jackson
