[Here's a couple of tremendous poems by the great Ben Fama. Ben is the dreamer behind SUPERMACHINE, the literary magazine and reading series. And I offer all apologies for not getting his poems posted until today.]
Glitter Pills
To live a serious life
that’s a fucked up thing
I would have to rent out a cabin
beneath terrible angels
if I get old wipe the dust off my tits
I should have a serious log cabin
the cabin’s name is Ben Fama.
find directions on the internet
when you want to leave you can
I’ll stay there just me and my heart
bigger than the sun
Joe Brainard's 21st Tan
Opened like the funnies
a picture stuffed into another picture's frame
the sky becomes gray, no candles lit
this reality will not suffice
if it isn't cosmic it isn't anything
I once thought a mind could take hold
of the sea, asked to marry the moon
it's raining and I'm going out
maybe Joe Brainard will show up
maybe a diamond will fall
all the things he talked about
still make the poem a surprise
Katie died surfing
I too know the sorrow of wanting love
refuse to tame my vulgar emotions
Joe Brainard are you lost like me?
and I'd like to go home the long way if I remember
