XII

If you like this, you should tweet about it:

I managed to borrow a pot to piss in & a window
to throw it out of, but I still cdn't cover my ass.

In the Jordan river valley I came to rest,
carried by the current, to lie upon the delta.

Tired Zen hermit, holed up in the goatpen,
happy in the tin-roof shack rain-clatter of it all.

The way here is quiet, subtler than the Ghetto,
out making echoes in the twilight.

The calm before the storm is fragile,
easily broken by birdsong.

Synchronicity ran rampant in the early days
Dreams steeped in meaning, minor acts of prophesy

John T. Unger poet

I'm best known as an artist and designer. Relaxing makes me tense, so I tend to put in a lot of hours on diverse projects.

Before becoming a visual artist, I spent 15 years as a poet. I studied poetry at Interlochen Arts Academy, Naropa, Stone Circle and on the streets. I performed my work for years at Stone Circle, solo shows, poetry readings, and at Lollapalooza in 1996.

I still write poems, but only if I can make them fit the constraints ofTwitter.
