Poems & Whiskey

About Poems & Whiskey

Poems & Whiskey (https://linktr.ee/poemsandwhiskeypod) is the project of Michael C. It's a weird and rambly talk show that's usually pretty funny. Enough that the Spotify powers that be labeled this show 'comedy'. Now whether that means I'm funny or that I'm a joke, well... In this thing, I talk to all sorts of creative types across all levels of skill and exposure. We sit and chat about what the hell we think we're doing and have drink (or two). Pull up a chair and join us, friend. Cheers y'all! Updates 2 times a month or so on Wednesdays. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   Loud and True

   If Thou Dislik'st What Thou First Light'st On -Dean Young fr First Course in Turbulence (https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/first-course-in-turbulence-pitt-poetry-series_dean-young/845382/) I had come to the house, in a cave of trees, I had dreamed of the perfect gray pants, I have a life that did not become, a young sister made of glass. I have done it again. I like a church, I like a cowl, I like the look of agony. I love the old melodious lays, I love it when they demonstrate the oxygen masks, never messing up their hair. I met the Bishop on the road, In a coign of the cliff between high and low, In a dark time, Among wolves and periwinkles, In a station of the metro, In Breughel's great painting, The Kermess. Indeed I must confess, Indigo, magenta, color of ghee, what the hell is the color of ghee? In June amid the golden fields, In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay, In spite of all the learned say, In the depths of the Greyhound station, In this world, this isle of dreams, Intimations of mortality, In unexpected infancy, In vain, in vain—the all composing hours. Yadda yadda yadda. I saw the best minds of my generation et cetera, I saw spiders marching through the air but let's skip this part, okay? The usual taste of liquor never brewed, the usual It is June, it is June, it is ten years since we rowed, it is 12:20 in New York a Friday but seems it out of battle I escaped and now I wander lonely as a cloud. I was angry with a friend, I went into the public ‘ouse for a pint o’ beer, I went to the Garden of Love but I wonder, do you feel today as I do caught in an index's apparatus of a thousand versions of myself but not sure I even exist? Dawns and hangovers and phone calls, nothing but silence on the other end. All this fog, a jar in Tennessee, torches going out. Go down any road far enough and you'll come to a slaughterhouse, but keep going and you'll reach the sea.

   Become Who You Are

   x fr The Visible Man by Henri Cole (https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-visible-man-poems_henri-cole/1090796) To write what is human, not escapist: that is the problem of the hand moving apart from the body Yet, subject is only pretext for assembling the words whose real story is process is flow. So the hand lurches forward, gliding back serenely, radiant with tears, a million beings and objects hypnotizing me as I sit and stare. Not stupefied. Not aching. Today I am one. The hand jauntily at home with evil, with unexamined feelings, with just facts. Mike and body, like spikes, like love and hate, recede pleasantly. Do not be anxious. The land remembers them.
