" OPEN MIKE...AND TOO LONG A POEM, A POEM OF GRIEF"
TO BE WRITTEN ANOTHER TIME.
DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH
THE POEM IS TOO LONG AND
IT WILL LAST FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
OPEN MIKE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS POEM OF SORROW...
"YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES." THEY SAY
"TWO MINUTES TO RECITE YOUR POEM."
"IT'S OPEN MIKE"
"TWO MINUTES."
YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME.
YOU ARE INSULTING MY GRIEF
YOU ARE INSULTING MY SADNESS
YOU ARE INSULTING MY LOSS...
"THEY ARE ALL EATING"
They are all eating and the world is burning.
Who gives a shit if the world burns...
Eat...eat...eat.
"I thought people could hear me thinking."
'Go to Toronto, see people eat.
All kinds of food in Toronto...
Come back nourished and healthy
Let it happen
Let the world burn
You can't extinguish the fire
You are not a fire brigade...
No guilt.
Your function is to eat...
So you can think
And if you can think
You can change
And if you can change
You can change the world
But first you have to eat...

DAY BEGINS
QUEEN IS DEAD. Sept, 9 2022
Rest is all nothing
Throw it out.
Shoes? Don't fit...throw them out
Books? Don't read... Throw them out
Clothes? don't fit...Throw them out
Art material? put it all in one place, one bag, one suitcase, one place
Scripts? put them in one trunk and then forget about them
Buy another trunk like the pink one
Then buy another trunk, the blue one
Then buy one more trunk, the pink one...
Fill them with junk
IMPORTANT JUNK...
AND THEN FORGET ABOUT IT
"I SAID, "THEN FORGET ABOUT IT.
LOCK ALL THE TRUNKS AND FORGET ABOUT IT."
TAKE FERRIES TO DIFFERENT AREAS
NO STARCH....
"JUST A BODY, USE IT. FILL THE CHAIR."
Pent up anger
Defensive
Not trusting
Want things to go his/her way
Inexperienced
Insecure.
No knowledge about the process
Can be argumentative
Controlled wish to control with his/her opinions
Theater protocal lacking
Theater experience nil
Outrageous is the news
and outrageous makes the news
A carnival barker
He/she had her by the throat
Should use them for your own end with a smile, yes, easy to say.
Don't resist the process
There is no democracy in the theater.
Some people have a double role
Some are your boses
Don't argue, it's not a competion.
Politely and sometime not so politiely thrusting his/her opinions onto you
Can't learn from a teacher by controlling teacher's process
Not flexible, just ambitious.
To learn, one has to be humble
Some one told me once,
" I have had the horrendous experiences with some of them...
'I have met some horrible people in my life."
No gratitude, no respect
Mention age, yes , they do...age,
the democratic people mention age slyly,
politely as if no one knows
that they are un-sophisticated A.H
Low class/lowest of the low
Atmosphere of despair created by some of those A.H
No one rewards generosity and respect for kind deeds.
Most of them mock it.
Prevailing darkness
No joy or hope or love...
"JUST A BODY, USE IT...
FILL THE CHAIR
IT'S ABOUT FILLING CHAIRS.
CONVERSATION
They all have conversations with each other.
"My foundation, (another important person interupts) Yes, my foundation
(The first person interupts the second person) In my foundation we have 15 senior exuctives.
(The third person interupts the second person) But in my foundation we have 20...
govt officials retired, govt officials. First person: Twenty what?
Second person: Yes, in my foundation, our 15 brilliant executives...
Well, (The first person interupts) In my foundation all the executives are very well trained and...
The third person cut the first person off: In my foundation all the executives are retired govt officials
The first person: You mean all the corrupt ones...
The third person interupts the first person: In your foundations the Ceo's are very well known criminals
and...
And what?
The third person shouts at the first person: Yes, didn't two of your Ceo's went to jail?
So what? They all wrote books:
First person to the third person: And what about your Ceo's?
My Ceo's after their jail sentences not only wrote books but they became best sellers on NYT...what can
be a better achievement than that?
Your foundation bought all the books, all of them and do you know what it means to be on the best
seller
list on NYT? It doesn't mean that the book has any integrity or the writer have any talent...
I know what it means, the third foundation owner to the second foundation owner: The more books
you sell the best seller you become.
The first owner of the foundation:
Not sold to any Tom, Dick, or Harry but to your company...
Best book seller means...the book which is sold
the most...
Yes, I know and the book, our book, about our foundation by the ex felon was sold the most
You bought it yourself, your foundation went and bought all of them and dumped them in a garage...
Third foundation owner to the first corrupt Ceo,
Doesn't matter, in a garage or not...they were sold.
NYT doesn't care if they are in the garage...they only care about the sale...
So?
So what?
So your ex criminal is a brilliant writer, right?
Thats not the point?
There is no point having this conversation with you...
You call this conversation...
What do you call it?
By now, the first foundation owner want to leave
to have a quick session with his secretary
and so does the third owner of the foundation...
he just met a porno star and she is waiting in a hotel
suit...
Before you go, the third Ceo of foundations says to the first Ceo,
No mention of the money, crime and sex
happened in our meeting...
what kind of conversation was that?
A waste, a total waste, i am never going
to have any conversation with any Ceo of any foundation again.
What about them?
Five of them went to jail and the rest of us going soon...to jail
You can go to jail, I am going to my porno star....
After the porno star, you will go to jail as well.
How do you know?
I know. I am a Ceo too, Ceo of a trillion dollar foundation...
Who the fuck needs a conversation?
Conversations are for the intellectual assholes
Are their any left?
I thought they have become the Ceo's of criminal foundations like us...
End of conversation.
Oh! was there a conversation? I dozzed off...
How much money did my foundation lose while I was dozzing off?
All of it. You have no foundation left.
You are not a Ceo any more. Go back to sleep.
