in 2014, 2015, I Is Always You is We Tags: I Is Always You is We
I have no secrets,
Every here revealed in each under-text
For you to find, identify
And see yourself in.
They are signals – call them semaphores.
Your world may not be mine,
Yet all the same, my mine is you
Though your existence is your own.
My I Is Always You (started) 11.26.2014(finished 10.31.2015)

in 2015, circling round reality, circling round time II, nature of & in reality, revelations big & small Tags: Read all about it! Time doesn't exist!
It’s – and I don’t like to ply the word –
A non-existent; nothing but
A construct
To describe and not define
Growth and decay,
The born, the dying.
It’s – a
‘Now you see it, now you don’t’,
‘Now it’s here and now it’s not’
Time the tag
Of laws, of change.
Time the badge.
Time the label
Giving names to light years, birthdays…
Every whatsit measured by an age.
As something Time is not.
Time Isn’t 10.23.2015

in 1960, 2015, arlene corwin's biography, autobiography Tags: a flash from the past
Juke Box Racket 1960 – Mario (‘Peter Clune’ ), a gangster, takes the fifth amendment when being questioned by the Senate Sub Committee on his connection with racketeering within the juke box industry. While in a small New Jersey town, teenagers Bob (Steve Karmen), Judy (Arlene Corwin),Ginger (Beverly Nazarow), Seymour (Seymour Cassel) and Betty (‘Dalene Young (II)’ go to the train station to pick up Judy’s cousin-from-Tennessee, Lulubelle (Lou Anne Lee). They take her to their local hangout, a pizzeria called “Mom & Pops”, a broken down place ran by a couple named Mom (Emy Boselli) and Pop (William J. Daprato.) After leaving the senate hearing, Mario, on his way to a large meeting of racketeers, drops by the pizzeria for a cold drink, and notices that Pop’s jukebox is not one belonging to the syndicate. He asks the local rep of the syndicate, Morty Belowsky (Ray Singer to find out why, and Morty reports the place doesn’t make enough money to make it worthwhile, but Mario isn’t having any of that and orders the syndicate’s box be put in “for the principle of the thing.”

in 2015, circling round reality, our times our cultureII Tags: A pessimist but not 100%
I guess
I am a pess-
imist,
According to the schisms
And the rhythms
Of our times.
I don’t believe that evil
Will prevail
Over
Good
Forever;
Good and evil alternate –
Anger/humor,
Love and hate.
I define myself
Against the –ist and –ism,
And I find myself
A pessimist:
Valid as a
Pallid
Salad,
Edible but not delicious.
Maybe, just a bit nutritious
Observing the necessities of circumstance.

in 2015, our times our cultureII, war book II Tags: Oh wars - the saddest of tragedies
Once there was genius.
There were many;
There were genii,
And we will never know how many, for
There came a war.
In fact, there came a-many.
And there came dictator:
Many.
Killings, fleeings, shittings, peeings: chaos.
Geniuses that walked the streets
(or stayed at home creating) Joy!
And then, the girls, boys
With life to change the arts, the sciences
Were gone before begun;
Departed.
Never started.
Never to know what they missed,
We, not to be ever kissed by them
When genius walked the streets
Before
The wars.

in 2015, pure nakedness Tags: It's best to say yes
Everybody Bosses Me Around
Everybody bosses me around
And I let go.
Opinions, points of view,
An extroverted personality
With an introverted character,
The inner in, the outer out,
I think, I want,
And when it doesn’t work,
I wait –
Sometimes for years – it doesn’t matter.
Fate has ways that shatter
All one’s inner-outermost desires,
With results un-thought of.
Not letting wish or viewpoint haunt.
One weighs the want.
Things aren’t that important
And I’ve won.

in 2015, definitely didactic, I Is Always You is We, pure nakedness Tags: fun is an illusion or is it?
When I was sixteen, out on dates,
I found that fun was too complex.
Concealed, the concept unrevealed,
I never found it, it abstruse
With no foundation: an illusion,
And illusions weren’t worth pursuit.
Parties weren’t…Dances weren’t…Dating wasn’t…
Dressing up as expectation,
Grueling dressed up expectation
Brought me angst,
The chain that lead to so-called fun
One of the draining pranks
Of youth.
Now I sing a pundit’s tune
Grounded in its melody: one on one or just alone.
Situations one on one are better than
A group, a crowd, a team, a clan
And lead to fun-serenity.
Even family’s lost its pull,
The beauty in seclusion chosen
And conditional.
