you were driving in your SUV
my Sister and me in the
Passenger Seats
It was the HighWays of Northern BC
and we were Both inTerested
my Sister and me
( I know what that means )
but
she was too Young for you
It seems you were in Trouble
You’d smashed a teleVision Screen
wrapped your X in a Purple Scarf
and thrown her off a
Ravine
We were going to an Empty
Work Site
for Road Building
or SomeThing
to wait for my Mother
( I’m not Sure what that means )
There was a Room for me in the Trailer
I put a Green Poster on the Wall
I was Naked
with the Door Open
smoking Weed
and could see my Sister
down the Hall
acting Silly
She knew
she was too Young for you
A Real Nice
Girl
You saw me Naked and I
vanished
behind
the Door
You came into my Room
and I sat down on the Bed
You sat beside me
I think
we kissed
or SomeThing
It didn't Hurt
Then we were looking out the Window
beyond the
Empty Lot
at a Wild River
like the One at Morricetown Canyon
and I said
“I’m going back to my BoyFriend
now”
You seemed a Bit disGruntled
but what did you xpect?
I was sleeping beside him Right then
wherever the
Waking World
was
The Lot was Big and Full of Abandoned Machinery
Mountains in the disTance
Mountains Right up Close
It used to be a Mill?
Near Kitwanga?
My Mother arrived
She said she and my Father were thinking of
buying
the Lot
I said they
should
do it
My Mother said
there was
Much Work
needed to be done
to get the Lot
Ready
for Business
whatever Business
that
was
It was NightTime
and there was Piping
and a Bare Bulb
above my
Mother’s Head
Drip
Drip
went the Piping
I said I would help
I allways have Visions of Run-down Lots
this being Only One Xample
It was Probably a Sign
of the Things to come
“My Boy Friend will help”
I told my Mom
“He is in Need of a Job”
You said you would help too
and I was Happy
because I am so
Very Fond
of you
Off HighWay 16
on the Road to Kitwanga
there is a Rundown
Mill
I used to stare at it
as my Family drove by
on the Way
to my GrandParents’ House
in the Woods on the Mountain
beyond the Gitxsan Totem Poles
I think you like me
that’s why you're allways
in my Dreams
acting like yourSelf
Only a Little More
together
So you’ll be Glad to know
we All lived Happily ever after
my BoyFriend and you
and All of our
Friends
It was like that Party
the Other Day
( Only my Mom was there )
EveryOne was in a Shipping Crate
a Red Light was on
the Air was Hot
there were Christmas Lights
hung from the Ceiling of the Crate
and we were acting like People in
Close Proximity
making Weird Art
together
and Lately I’ve been dreaming
swaddled in these Blankets
surrounded by Snow
under the Northern Constellations
of People I have known
They emerge
from the Crystal
of my
Mind
to play themSelves
Only Different
At Fist I did not know who they were
One was Ambitious and Confident
and I thought she was anOther
until I realized
there is no Other
The Second followed me through the HallWays
of a Rooming House
or the Visions
of Steppenwolf
and I recalled I had been his Friend
More than AnyThing
A Chain Link Fence appeared
and a Row of Trees on a Grassy Bank
The Third was a Tall Man with Tourmaline Hair
who asked me Questions
about Love from his Arm Chair
and as I answered I realized that
he was you
so he stood and revealed himSelf as you
Then I knew you were a Real Man
a Man for Skis among Spruce
a Man before whom my Thoughts would drift away
unNecessary as Leaves in the Winter
the Man
of whom
I dreamed
when I rode
through the Fraser Canyon
it’s Little Towns huddled
to the Cliffs
up into
the Caribou
where the Pines roll out of
Dunes
The Practical Man
The Man who is Good with his Hands
Who doesn't understand EveryThing I say but
doesn’t care
and with whom I can disappear
into Homes and Horses
Children and Gardens
on a Farm
where noOne dare guess
who we are
and the Government
can be sent
away
with Guns
and Poems
Authority vanished into the Land
where the Spirits make Sense to me
the Eagles
Snakes
and Rivers talk
and we are a Complicated Form
of the Whole
who understands the Rain
and prays in Observations of the Air
its Sights and Smells and Sounds
your
Genius
but admit
I tried
my Best
on a Land
I thought
was in Need
I overcame
Fitness Freaks
Hipsters
University Graduates
Sure of their imPortance
not yet
Divorced
Morals
set
as Concrete
Morals
Trim
as
Lawns
Ease
Comfort
Conformity
subUrban
Sleeping Gas
seeping
under my Door
I still broke out
the Privileged Dome
of the Middle Class
I escaped the
Apathy City
to be
your
Genius
because
around
the World
Apartment Buildings are crumbling
Glaciers are melting
Flora are trying
Fauna are dying
Poor Girls are being sold
across Borders
to sit
in Clubs
where
Rich Men are thinking
Life means noThing
We are but Bodies
Slaves to our Jobs
Slaves to our Johns
noThing Really Matters
transcend your Feelings
Please yourSelf
there’s noThing else
Indigenous Cultures
are being driven
by the Baton
of the Mining Industry
Out
CountrySides are being blasted for “Democracy”
Wireless

If I didn’t fight this Shit
I would hate mySelf
If I couldn’t fight
this Shit
I would kill my Self
If I couldn’t
transcend this Shit
I would make mySelf

Pan to dance

Concrete cracking beneath his Hooves
Flowers bursting

Trees to twine where Cars lurked
Gardens and Peoples and Creatures

Follow Pan’s Flute

ToDay
I am
in Love
with Vancouver
which Once
I hated
for here
I
stand
beneath
its
Green
Leaves
with a
Warrior
of its
Streets
who dares
bring down
its Oceanic
Towers
and fears
for the
Health
of its
People
who fights
the Rich
who made
his Beauty
and has not
been corrupted
by my Drugs
nor my Love
of him
though he could learn of the rEvolutions
of Glaciers
and Ant Hills
and the Sacred
Worthiness
of Jokes
to see my
Solitary Visions
which are
the Visions
of Flowers
Hideous and Smiling
stuck to the Tips
of the Tentacles
of the Octopus
of the Void
A Pretty Face
that Lies
upon
a Pretty Soul
Proof
not All

is Sinister
but surges with
Altruism

Ours was the Language

I walk among you
I eat Food
I am Flesh made Flesh

Every Word

I
feed

though I tired
not I
for I
had danced
like a Nymph
in the Pool
of its Ease
and Complxity
Progress that glittered
like a Computer Screen
and tasted like Money
I came and my Eyes were Wild
and
Harsh as Bramble
from
Lost Loves
I descended like the Cackling Witch
the Apprentice of the Witch
the inVisible Witch
my Witch
my Muse
Not knowing
how to go about
my Days
I was to Men like the Baby Koala
I felt Bad SomeTimes
but
Other Times
I raged
at my Feebleness
I raged like Gods upon Mortals
for I have allways believed in the Greatness of Mortals
But I sauntered on
Part of Space and Time
Catholic Bells ringing in my Head
God a Withered Old Man before my Laughter
I threw Flowers and Boughs at him
screaming, “A New Day is dawning!”
and he honoured my Rigorous Loathing
honoured my Endless Growing
honoured my Mother
the Glass Innards of inFinity
cause I Half Crazy
tossed mySelf yearning
into Gasoline Rainbow Parking Lot Puddles of Ambition
looking for Whispers on the Poetic Thread
of Genius
of Ghosts
wanting them
wanting to join them
in the Heaven / Hell
of Bards
At the Long Table
of Bards
with an Abundance
of Absinthe
and Grass
But I am
Constantly
getting off Track
for Xample
by you
Oh, yes, you
Beautiful you
Justified
yes, Justified
need Muses
All Great Artists need Muses
I will sketch a Million Drawings of you
I will sculpt your Ass and Groin
I will paint your Eyes
Lucky you
You have found a Lady with a Head of Potions
draped in the Moss of her Country
living in Trees
singing
Of a Terrible Temper and Sharp Teeth
and Tears to fill the Lakes of her Wildernessess
who will play her Puma’s Games with you
she’s so Eager
She’s been dreaming of them this

Stop pretending your thoughts matter, your desires are worthy of even mentioning, that you exist other than to be one man's pleasure.

If Andrea Coates becomes a world renown anarcho-feminist, it will likely be due to the Oprah marketing effect, because although she is a talented writer, she doesn't have a fucking clue what it means to really fight against the entrenched elite of uber-powerful men.

I think you need help. from what i tell you live in a clueless rage, forgoing self-awareness in an effort to act out as a charicature of what you idealize.. you actively commodify yourself, justifying it by claiming that externalization is how you deal with things, when in reality youre trivializing your own experiences like some egotistical ooroboros. Starving for real artsistic and spiritual sustenence you lash out, unable to grok the world outside your own vapid, trashy existence
