poems based on david e patton's pics and texts..


[AFTER David E. Patton/ The Jazz Symphonic Glass Ear (page 47-55) and ....pic]

non-miraculous eyes


it was a time when the criminal exaggerated in his improvisation
and of course the analog brain was entirely responsible for that

he felt the slippery society haunted the holy common singing in the stronghold of the contemplating head

damn

and then St. Guilty passing along the row of tongues happy and exhilarating like a sunny extreme
an evening cigarette and then
the whole winter-mating all to ourselves…..

even the long countermelodies of combatant Gods were made up of inside necessity sounds
at the time
their weary behavior was reflected by windows that aborted distances
while Possibility again was drowning the odor of places
encharmed
embracing the roots that reached for the cradle of wisdom
upside downish

history/histories

a weary habitat pixilating
ending euphorically behind its black-legged limits
(thanks, david)

Little Lamb said...

I do refer to the pic as being colorful. Is David E. Patton a famous artist?

carmen racovitza said...

"Part Langston Hughes bebop, part Beat freestyle, part Midwestern folk banter, the work of David E. Patton spans generations & weaves together a wealth of styles to create a unique & deeply personal vein of Americana. A gay, largely self-educated black man who came of age during the turbulence of the Sixties and Seventies, his voice reverberates with a humble confidence & lonesome strength which at once saddens & transfixes. Largely uninfluenced by recent movements, Patton’s material remains simple, insightful, & ultimately some of the most genuine to exist in modern poetry.

He posts frequently at Uncle David, his blog of poetry and poetics."

carmen racovitza said...
