Intro to IB

Poetry Reading: Night Journey

Reviewing 123 IB

123 IB is a prophetic dark 'n dirty playful dance through everything of life: parties, potties, politics, religion, night life, low life, high life and love life. If Allen Ginsburg started the beat-revolution with his inspired poetic ravings, what revolution will come from these choreographed rants and raves? 123 IB re-interprets and re-mixes all the Big questions... and like a skilled DJ, Alexander programs his musically-inspired book with rising crescendos, melodic interludes and mind-popping beats.

I am not

I am not a poet
I am not my words.
Who I am can not be spoken,
like this or like that.

I am blue electric thunderstorm.

I am not peace.
I am not love.
I am fire flowing water,
burning through your inside,
thirstquenching,
smooth, pure, Molten lava.

I am not hate or anger.
I am not judgment.
I am white hot blue heat,
Icicles of frozen light, solid-dripping
melting off your outside.

I am not compassion.
I am not mercy.
I am not That.

I am blue electric thunderstorm

Not as you think,
or as you know,
unspeakable.
Only, perhaps
you can
Smell me
in the air
as you
inhale.
