Failed Visionary
There is safety in numbness,
in so denatured a locality, so far removed
from nature and history.
And I’m grateful, deeply grateful, to be stuck here,
sinking in geographical and cultural isolation,
seldom jolted out of numbness,
in this seductively deadening place –
both sanctuary and termination.
Where the Fourth Wall meets the Glass Ceiling.
I will be giving it a good seven minutes of my worst.
Monty Bar, 1222 W.7th street, LA. March 6th, 8pm.
If any further proof were needed that nothing is beneath me:

Not that I have anything to say on the subject:
Friday June 22nd. 9pm. Beyond Baroque. 683 Venice Blvd.
Tongue and Groove event. Hotel Cafe, Sunday March 18th, 6pm.
Michael Albo, Brendan Constantine, Eric Trules, Kathleen Wilhoite,
and JOHN TOTTENHAM
I will be delivering an ‘Anti-Awesome’ oration, and perhaps also some poesy, at the closing party for Dix Denney’s terrific show at the Sancho Gallery (1549 W.Sunset in Echo Park), Saturday night Dec 3rd, round about 9pm.

But if you feel like dragging your ass across town at 7pm on a Tuesday evening to watch five middle-aged literary hacks hold forth, this might be what you’ve been waiting for.
