Omphalos:
fragment of a poem
[In Memory of Ezra Pound]

In belly button cold
Sleeps gray afternoon mold
'Neath Earth's only Moon stoled.

DEATH'S NOT A CLOWN!

After Listening to "Ghetto Gospel" by 2 Pac and Reading "Remember to keep yourself alive, there is nothing more important than that" by Afeni Shakur.


KEEP ALIVE WITH PRIDE!
KEEP ALIVE WITH BEAUTY!
KEEP ALIVE WITH SOUND!
KEEP ALIVE WITH WORDS!
KEEP ALIVE ALL AROUND!
KEEP YOUR WORLD ALIVE
WITH RESPECT AND A FROWN!
KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE
DEATH'S NOT A CLOWN!
KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE
THROUGHOUT YOUR TOWN!
KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE!
KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE!
THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS
EXCEPT NOT BEING AROUND!
