GRAPHORRHOEALISM is a new Literary Style I have developed. It is a fusion of poetry and psychology and does not adhere to the rigid forms and styles that the Literati - I call them Literary Dictators - expect contemporary poets to follow as a matter of course.
I oppose THE ESTABLISHMENT in ACADEMIC, POLITICAL, SOCIAL and GENDER HIERARCHIES.

than a greeting card? or less than a photograph of a woman weeping over her dead son's body? Less than a news service photo? Ben-day Dots. Ink spots. Seurat's divisionism (he hated the less scientific pointillism) prefigured color photography. Click. I missed you. Click. Wish you were here! Hold that pose. Say Cheese! Does that morpheme spoken force mouth musculature to smile? or mimic? Maybe I should buy a camera? chimera? camera obscura? Emily D's words that "Satiation, is less than, and deleterious, to need," are wrong. I'm not a Puritan; but have felt them. Can written words on a page express a man's longing? I threw out a trash bag of poems about you. Among them, a chained sonnet, and the form I dislike most, an English Haiku. I'm Koo-Koo composing Haiku. But I enjoy narrative: "Everyone's heart gets broken," my mother taught me that truth. This is a spell: Come back to me! Come back to me! This is a pop song: Come back to me, Baby. The 2nd definition of "we," in Webster's, explains it is used by Sovereigns, and writers, to keep an impersonal character. We love you.
Sandra, this Brel song was written while he was dying of cancer. His best friend Jojo had just died of cancer. It is a wonderful song, English subtitles are included. Joe
1944-45. Oil on canvas, 66 x 51 cm. Fundación Gala - Salvador - Dali, Figueras
Gala has often been depicted in Dali's works. One might even say that she is the only woman whose face and silouette appear there incessantly; the painter says, "She is the rarest being to see, the superstar who cannot in any case be compared with La Callas or Grete Garbo, because one may see them often, whereas Gala is an invisible being, the antiexhibitionist par excellence. At Salvador Dali's home, there are two prime ministers; one is my wife, Gala, and the other is Salvador Dali. Salvador Dali and Gala are the two unique beings capable of mathematically moderating and exalting my divine madness."
Sandra, as I predicted I fell into a major depression. Stayed in bed for 2 days. It was a great treat to receive a video of you reading a truly wonderful poem. I related to the poem very much. You read so well it is a joy to listen. I just had this little ditty published today: https://sites.google.com/site/righthandpointingsite/joseph-hargraves Well, I should go eat, after not eating for 2 days I feel a bit weak. Tainted smiles seem to be my forte. Thanks for your friendship, Joseph
I KNOW THAT YA'LL DON'T CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING IN ENGLAND, BUT TODAY I'M THANKFUL TO GOD TO HATH MET THEE, SANDRA LESTER, HELL CAT-ANGEL OF LIGHT- ALL THE WAY FROM THE SOUTH END OF THE SEA!
MAY ALL THINE DREAMS COMETH TRUE!
BESOS TO THEE & OBY!
CRAZY IN THE SEA & ON THE WINGS OF A PEGASUS WITH THEE!
I'm remembering, up..
step off the boy bed, you read gossip of what she said.
who is so clothed, by curtain arms.
we are here, buy me my green colors.
that are those, these are certain charms.
small pink pints of peach.
slowing thinking, peaceful and friendly.
slur speech doesn't think before your praying.
tongue punch fist, tongue twist.
nobody, gets what i am saying?
These are sample ideas for the cover of the brochure for the lima premiere for my film RETURN TO BABYLON – a tribute to the silent movie era. Hat or no hat?
Thank you. I shall await the interview. Anytime it arrives I shall listen! Have a cozy Sunday - Elena
Taught to look at myself & Under my own gaze I fell, like an object to myself.
What could I do But fade?
~And now it appears I coloured you too I am not sure what the true picture was So many reflections Tales played out upon one another As if on blank canvas Or your silvered paper
