GOOD NEWS
Have you heard the news, we all come from Africa!
Every single one of us is a piece of her legacy
The living proof is marked in our chromosomes
Genetic mutations like rings in a tree
Tracing back echoes of our history
To say every human on earth is related by blood
Is the truth being stated quite literally
To claim we're a Family regardless of race
Is a fact presented with accuracy
To stand in denial of these revelations
Is really quite telling, you see, so you'll pardon my asking
What designs does your intelligence really have on me?
Now that you know we're brothers
Obviously you can level with me
I'm an American your countryman related by blood.
Take the mask off it's easier to see
Oh wait, you need to guarantee your anonymity
How can that be I thought we lived in the land of the free
Oh wait that's right, you live a double life, I see, Oh yeah,
Has your other half heard the Good News,
That we're all from the same Family Tree?

get your dna into national geographic a.s.a.p.!!! let John T. Scopes mate with a gay priest and bear a test tube baby!!, and may the whole fabric of projectile fabrications put forth by countless nations spilling bloody libations come tumbling down upon the head of chicken little, so that he can finally stare directly into the fire and leave off clucking at shadows!

Poets are more likely to have mental illnesses than any other type of artist. They've surpassed musicians, painters, sculptors and free-style walkers. Personally, I would've guessed sculptors would be the nuttiest.
P.S. Nice work, Mr. Grub.

the thing about thorn is that (and i'm a long time lover of his poetry) he IS crazy AND sane. he can traverse like liquid between two worlds. when he reads (and writes) he allows himself to be totally engulfed by his poem's speaker.....it's almost like he channels this voice from some outside source... he goes absolutely crazy....depending on the poem, his eyes might glaze over and all his muscles tense up...
yet, he can pop back out of that world when he needs to. he is in control. thorn is pretty cool like that.

No the actually main Coffee Shop thorn. Back in the day (old rs) it was full of poems, page after page.
Then it got transferred here & the rest is history as they say.

A Disaster
There came news of a word.
Crow saw it killing men. He ate well.
He saw it bulldozing
Whole cities to rubble. Again he ate well.
He saw its excreta poisoning seas.
He became watchful.
He saw it breath burning whole lands
To dusty char.
He flew clear and peered.
The word oozed its way, all mouth,
Earless, eyeless.
He saw it sucking the cities
Like the nipples of a sow
Drinking out all the people
Till there were none left,
All digested inside the word.
Ravenous, the word tried its great lips
On the earth's bulge, like a giant lamprey--
There it started to suck.
But its efforts weakened.
It could digest nothing but people.
So there it shrank, wrinkling weaker,
Puddling
Like a collapsing mushroom.
Finally, a drying salty lake.
Its era was over.
All that remained of it a brittle desert
Dazzling with the bones of earth's people
Where Crow walked and mused.
~Ted Hughes
damn!
