Here is also a link for a public access tv show hosted by Mr. Skimask where Kayla and I are reading our poetry/getting interviewed/other weird things we weren't expecting. Check it out, it's a lot of fun, we are on shows #816 and #817 http://sterlace.com/episodes/

And I also feel the need to add a poem

This house is black
no color
except disease
accept disease
The color of this house
is death
freedom from life
temple built of marvels
learn to worship
chanting poverty
barefoot and tattered

Deformed faces
giving eyes
from brick windows
molded flesh
unlucky birthright
misery

Blind nerves destroying
bones
picked clean
no adequate treatment
anymore
mind following body's lead
towards fate

Praising God for eternal
suffering
wishing wings
to fly from wickedness
on earth
grinding of bitter souls
causing crushed fingers
to cover holes called ears
and in their drooping eyes
the shadows of death

In the remote desert
cries and sighs
seeking freedom from life
The color of this house
is death




again we are looking for submissions for our next issue.please email any poems to wethenotoriousp@gmail.com

truth by letson williams

there’s only one way in

and there is    no       way         back

another                         feelie

this here?

this is the firmness of attack

and this room is

full

of the type                                                                you can see it in their eyes

you don’t want to know

everybody was looking for the double crosser

everybody was

looking

looking                                    

looking

i didn’t bother

i knew it was you                                    and i knew what to do

i’ll tell you the truth

i will tell you the truth

there is not one reason to lie

when i get through                                                            i‘ll be dissatisfied

but                        there is now no going back

and    certainly                                     no standing in place

no make believe       no more pretty face

don’t know which way to go?

there’s just a meanness

so I gotta keep on                                                                                       gotta keep on

gotta keep     on

it’s quite clear how one thing led to the other

this will go down

as                                    just

another

another    “toughen you up”

another      “run for the coast”

another          “hand me your cup”

another                         fffffucking ghost

well, i’m gonna kill that ghost

no matter which way he goes

that fucking ghost

"lambs to the slaughter here"- patrick riedy

the whole reason to cross allen street is gone by letson williams

back then

back when there was still a reason to cross allen street.

back before berlin

back when she was red bone,

 from buffalo

when she was high yellow

when it was "if you're not a staylow, then you gotta go home.

 and that means you too jared leto"

back then

one night

one little night

i heard a man

one man

a book man

the man from the book store

he was stammering and stomping like he was coming straight outta compton

spitting and bloodletting

relentless

the first word came first

it came right on the first stomp

it exploded

he said participatory

yeah, he said participatory

and then he said it again

and again and again

until it rocked with an uneven, white boy rhythm that took it's cue from when the stomp came down

and that alone

he said it again and again

"participatory participatory participatory

"participatory" "participatory" "participatory"

"democracy" "democracy"  "democracy"

yeah, yeah, yeah

he said

"participatory" "participatory"

"democracy" "democracy"

"participatory" "participatory"

"democracy" "democracy"

then some of us started saying it

then more of us started saying it

then it was back and forth,

participatory

democracy

participatory

democracy

the man said

participatory

foreplay (the katherine kurtz way) by k. kurtz

patience
wearing
thin
clean
smelling
skin
goosebumps
on my
chest
catching your attention
like a girl in a café
folding
pepperoni pizza─ blue diamonds
on the horizon where we
made a game in every
language
& i laughed harder than i can remember
i love that you bring out the giggles
in me & i never want to
leave
not even when you take me too seriously─ you’re
hot under the collar & it gets me off
enough to look past the
exhausting
task of listening to you rant─ press up against me; caress my
hips with hungry hands & be rough with me
please─ i’d rather your tongue be
between my legs than on
welfare
or those ridiculous sounds that you make while i marvel & i don’t know where
this is going but i can take a guess that we
will both be somewhat sore
& hungry when it
ends

“Earth is a pigpen”

it was made clear that the time would eventually come and change the composition. faded color became rooted. holes everywhere nothing there but holes. everywhere holes. spoke with air and lifted up across the face. spoke in tongues. tongue is less. without a tongue. not a tong. less tongue.

i am by john cuttito

I am nothing I am everything
Times gone inconsequential again
A tragic reaction to my inaction
Proportionally contrary to my reality
And my own duality
Coming to a head again
Lost in moons flow
Fading in the rivers glow
Perpetual cycle of my unquiet youth
I repeat the beat path I tread again
Deep suede night
And I against the current
As usual, somewhat drifting
Bouncing along the shore a stone
I am worn smooth dragged
By tides pull This day
Has sought new reasons
To insist upon the
Distances I keep
Darkness calls and still I sleep.
This is just a fraction of my dissatisfaction
A ritual catastrophe of perpetual
Motion pulling me in different directions
With symmetrical concentration
Salvation is the eviction of conviction in
Convention as is
Resistance to this existence of pretension
I feel so small sometimes
A depiction of some higher authors’ imagination
Playing my part while never knowing the lines
I am a cameo appearance relative to
The time span of the universe
I am nothing, and everything
What song then should my soul sing
Words of the river
Words of night
Give me back the sight I lost
When I flew too near the sun
Ate from the tree
Opened a box I should not have
And found myself stripped of connection with divinity
Once we were all gods
By some strange trick we were lulled to sleep
And now we dream the lives of mortals
Who dream the lives of gods as they slumber
I am

give back the name by letson williams

give back the name

it's not just a word

it's something you earn

something vital and tried

that still lives                             at times

indicates          authenticity

which is why             you decide

                                           to pin it to your

often trite

                                         ironic glasses and

hipsta might

you think it's yours        'cause it was given you

but night after night

                                                            i won't forgive you

and if you push it out there long enough 

                                                 if you pretend to be that kind of tough

the one night'll come

                          and it may not be me

but some other fool mad

                          from the improbability

             of what had been un-corruptable

                          now corrupted

time was     

it was only slightly marred      by slurs and by slippers

            eggars’ idea of strings                 that sound like                            strippers

“beautiful”        but empty sweet

                                                                      mean and drugged             underneath

thrown off at last on a houston night

where your old man

well                   he just might

 he gave it to you and found the will to live

 but cowboybootsoncoffeetables don’t make it his to give

you you you ride the wave like you had anything

                                                                                    to do with the moon that brings it in

that shit was permanent                                      

                                                until you burned it

             like what you have came from that man

                          throwing off words    catch-as-catch-can

        but you you you you       y’   scrape and you stand

at every turn like this was yours to take

with your little rock hammer and your heart so fake

and piece by piece       you chip away

                                                 at the thought and at the name

at the love/at the lie

at the electro-shock fallin outta the sky

at west memphis darlin's and Odetta's truth

at rex's bell                         at rex's blues

you can't cut yourself a columbine

you can't black haired dutch boy

you can't fool anyone   but                             

 cops

and you can't fool me

no

you can't fool me

We, the notorious pronouns, have one simple question.

Where are the whereabouts of the motherfucking liquor?
