Poem To The Freaks

Jack Micheline

To live as I have done is surely absurd

In cheap hotels and furnished rooms

To walk up side streets and down back alleys

Talking to oneself

And screaming to the sky obscenities

That the arts is a rotten business indeed

That mediocrity and the rage of fashion rules

My poems and paintings piled on the floor

To be one with himself

A Saint

A Prince

To persevere

Through storms and hardons

Through dusk and dawns

To kick death in the ass

To be passed over like a bad penny

A midget

An Ant

A roach

A freak

A Hot Piece

An Outlaw

Raise your cup and drink my friend

Drink for those who walk alone in the night

To the crippled and the blind

To the lost and the damned

To the lone bird flying in the sky

Drink to wonder

Drink to me

Drink to pussy and dreams

Drink to madness and all the stars

I hear the birds singing

edit: at least I thought it was a damn good poem! :smokin:

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
