o my song
be a river
be a voice
be my herald
tell my tale
careen my joy
among the bells
of stars at night
clapper'd by a
darken'd moon
here is the news
i dawn'd this day
[august 20, 2007,
for the weho city council]
come ye all to the
la-weho townhall update
thursday, august 30
at plummer park
rooms five & six
hosted by ten medical
cannabis clinics inside &
barely over the weho line
down
with thanks to josh kurpies &
jeff prang's office &
support as well from pan
asa wamc & glaca
i am waiting, waiting to
confirm panel speakers
like i gotta pee in a store with
no bathroom (how long? how long?)
(soon soon. i'll tell you soon)
think about light dinner at 6pm &
“farmacy”™ non-leaded gelato-tasting
followed by those five & me & you
in dialogue that is a plain-spoken record
of what it takes to stay alive
in the cannabis patient community
sorting it out. tale by tale
& you can read about it at another
joyfully just-launched project
http://CannabisPatientVoice.blogspot.com
a virtual hometown, like http://aids-write.org
for more than twenty
new media citizen journalists
keyboarding their news
for you
i write on the page
i feel its emptiness
fill
& when i read i stand
not in the room but
there in ruins in
battered fields in
harvest in lost in burnt in
unfindable wreckage
home
