Marty Sherman:No matter what God says, I think it's a good book. These poems by Dirk will stand the test of time, I think. The book's due out next Tuesday. Pick up a copy and see for yourself.
M. Alan Pennywhistle:
God's a tough sell, alright.
Marty Sherman:
By the way, the Polaroids that Dirk's putting in my scanner are amazing. He has a keen eye for composition, yet he's still able to catch that photo-journalistic feel. Truly, truly amazing. He told me he wants to call the second book 'Snapshots From Heaven'.
Zelda Dirkson:
I can't believe God is black!
A few more previews from Prof. Dirk Beat's soon-to-be-released book 'Poems From The Other Side':
What Choice This?
Happy, Sad, Loving, Mad
Worried, Glad, Good or Bad?
Ultimately accepting one
The same as the other
IS there choice?
To love, when no love
Beats within my heart?
To not hate, when so much
Of the World demands it?
Wild animals live & kill
They eat & fuck & die
Without the burden of conscience
Nor fear of a god's retribution
I am an animal!
Is it wrong to want only
To live & kill & eat & fuck
& die?
A Gentle Dream Of Blindness Gone Awry
See?
No.
The sight of trembling lip?
The scent of scalded flesh?
The sound of smothered screams?
Just blackness.
Then
One last feeble thump
Of a long-ago
Broken
Heart
Now I Lay Me Down To Die
Cloned flesh test tube baby
Scorched circuits nerve path
Hot white pulses sing the spine
A lullaby of sad noise pain
As a swelling cacophony of
Phantom ring tones eats my brain
-Prof. Dirk Beat
