 Warhol said it a million times in his life.
when discounted and rejected
he never gave up.

Self-Portrait 1986

I killed
your mother
and father

trashed
your home
soiled your garden
tortured your brother
raped your sister

it was all done
for my good

you are a stage
from which
I take leave

we killed the mother and father.
we trashed the home.

now – we insist their nine year old
run the show. fight the bad guys.

be like ninja turtles.

At night I walk the dog throughout our neighborhood. I hear no songs being sung. I hear no instruments in practice. I see no families gathered at tables.  Only head after head facing electronic screens.  House after house plugged in for the night.

Frame after frame – like electron freight cars to the mind – they dump tons of cues mixed with bullshit.

we are spiritual guests
on this earth
and should not join in
the killing cycle.

To have no care of wrong or right
have no thought but to decree,
soar and see as a hawk in flight.

Fly from dark into light
hold no sense of history
to have no care of wrong or right.

Wire your brain to plumes that fright,
know only what you need to be;
soar and see as a hawk in flight.

See the red as black and white,
kill and eat the flesh, be free
to have no care of wrong or right.

Practice not duty nor requite.
Scree hemic cries of victory.
Soar and see as a hawk in flight.

Have no pretense but your might
Take no knowledge from the tree.
To have no care of wrong or right,
soar and see as a hawk in flight.

if you run a hospital
walk around

if you run a school
walk around

if you run a family
walk around

if you are
mismanagement 101

stay in your chair
