THE PLANET MAN
This poem, written in the winter of 1968, enjoyed a
2 year haul of celebrity in such diverse places as
top dog powerful FM stations, be-ins, rock festivals,
recordings, and audiences ranging from the Pacific
Coast, East Coast Canada and U.S., and internationally.
'The Planet Man' was well hailed

HISTORY
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Recorded in conjunct with an associate who wrote a brand new
classical music score to go along strong in background for the
voice of a moi' reciting rhythmically, tapes in several versions
were played several times a week on more than one late night
FM radio and made its way into the top slot evening lineup
on Vancouver's top AM Rock and Roll show off and on. On
the East coast, movement was gaining momentum through a
young Newfoundlander who had inherited a chain of 5
radio stations from father gone, plus money, enough to
revamp the 5 stations into 200,000 watt FM'ers (the most
powerful radio transmitters available at that time) and
went online as a 5 station string of 'Peace Stations'
The opener for first on-air broadcast took place
in Montreal in late 1969, at exactly midnight the
switch was thrown to initiate new 'Peace' broadcasting,
with live remote from a hotel room in Montreal where John
Lennon and wife Oko were holed up in a bed in the hotel
room running an internation world peace forum from that
bed. The new station went on line at precisely midnight,
with opening chords of music and words flooding the 200,000
watt FM airwaves - my recording of

INTRODUCTION
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
english does not have suitable words to discuss
such things as man/woman, woman/man, female/male,
male/female . the whole of God ontology is in terms
of Him, He, and His, and there is nothing else in english
to talk about other, in metaphorical terms . alas . the Planet
Man is not a man nor a woman , but a state of being , observation .
sorry that English demands use of the words 'planet Man' to try to
evoke a whole gist in one metaphor . In fact , english is so badly
drafted by the men who originally drafted english, that the words
'planet woman' would simply be written off as very bad poetry .
figure it out . You have work to do.

THE PLANET MAN
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
today the planet man
came into my mind
flashing a world
while I flashed mine
there were glimpses of moving friendly entities
a riot of feelings images
a vast simplicity
he then said :
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
it is strange to see your cities regulated by
flashing colored traffic lights .
does such pagentry mean the caravan of a man ?
shadows of the incomprehensible rigidly
rub around you
hulla hoop your mind
around the problem of humanity
many are ready for it
otherwise the human scream is preposterous
much of life is a struggle
and sooner or later you will sigh
it doesn't matter where when how or why
someday you will sigh
it only matters that in you something mustn't sigh
mad machines
the mechanical bribes
the men that make them
twelve foot clanking dances are a quick way to die
the only time the world seems steady
is during an earthquake
what makes your life so miserable
you seem to thrive on being ignorant
even being innocent of being ignorant
you go right on
being ignorant until you die
your face winks out .
an awesome kind of humanity
to go on as living
a race determined to die .
to say i never think of you
is a lie
i am both whole and happy
yet now i embark on a strange
journey through your city of
life
so much
on the one side your presence is almost unbearable in me
your eyes lie in openings
made pale by deep pre-occupations
your precious feelings
diddle their ends
in the pools of your brain
tooling life away
caught in hallucinatory whirlpools of seething levels an
odd spirit of rage
rages . bashing the dim streets of memory
ghosts of the whole human flicker by brilliantly for an instant
fade into despair
your present suddenly arrives a highway of hoary images
gaping lovelessly where my feelings flow openly
there was a time
when i was too innocent not to love you .
no longer so vulnerable
pain takes my eyes
how the world looks
the love i have
has fingers of grief
a staggering pity
my mind is a glass castle of bold urgencies
all this happens when i
try to love you
yet the whole self soul wanderer
will never bear my grin away
your subliminal telepaths for help -
at times faint and intermittant
then loud and clear
like music from a windy blind -
the wind turns the music ancient
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
on the other side
look around you to the eyes of the friendly people
watch them as they pass by
recognize the expression ? remember it !
these are cosmic eyes
look for many dimensions in these same eyes
starfire hangs at the verycenter
here is the heart of consciousness and galaxies
this living fire is eternal
it is looking right at you
you will notice how these jewels are laughing
for these are your friends
who love you
in your escalator of consciousness
lies the real world
it is simply awareness of kind
tuning into your thoughts as they happen
subjectively
or from mind to kind .
the process is natural
occuring outside the confines of
ego or mind
in this place
feelings flow opening
reality becomes the whole space .
recognition is no longer just
intuitional . vibrations of love
cosmic love , intelligence in the universe
become very real functions of the
whole human who is happy .
these are no denied passions .
mine are not whispery lips
rubbering idle seclusions you are eternally expanding
when humankind is together on a common frequency of love the i
of us all stands together and thriving .
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
the planet man
tip toes in to our minds kindly
gently in we lovingly begin to
rearrange the landscape
we live the concept of
nobody being supreme
what could be more beautiful than sacrificing our
shoes and socks
what greater gift is there than to share life living
for all time
a greater meaning is to be heard in the
stars
and the color of their eyes in the galaxy.

THE GRISLY CORPSE
"As you can plainly see my friend
I've just finished my new casting
its my latest and greatest creation
its the most sublime in suffering
exquisitely wrought agony of the ecstasy
of the calvary on the cross
the world has ever seen
"That's quite a mouthful"; I interject.
"I hope
(the person continues without pause)
the Pope might want to use it
for the papal personal staff
"No kidding?
And I thought it was just
a particularly grotesque corpse
made of metal
dangling on a cross
"Did the LORD pinch you
on the cheek today?
"You mean ... " (I gesture
as if pinching the buns of a bottom)
There is a clatter
a piece of metal on the
spare parts rack against a wall collapses
falling through a few layers of overplus
we both look to the noise.
The person asks that question again,
probing,
one eye larger than the other from the mentals:
"Did the LORD pinch you on the cheek today?"
"I think someone did.
When I first looked upon your
grotesquerie on the cross
HOLY COW what a diabolical jolt!
"You don't want to worship it then
"Of course I don't want to worship it
you think that's why I came here?
(I turn, one heel squeeking
against the machine shop cement
and leave the metal smells
the smoke, the dust sparkling in strays
of rays splayed through the streaky windows
leave the artisan to continue
grunting and polishing
mumbling and bolishing
the fruits of such hideous labors)
(Briefly I hold the all powerful Cube and Sphere of the
Supreme Creators in consciousness
almost instantly perceiving the avails
in a re-stablization of a few particular
frequencies back toward norm
or at least
back toward present tolerance levels
as are currently operant on this planet
at least as are currently operating
through me on this planet
given this planet's regressed conditions
at this present flow change in time.
And given the constraints and expansions
in which I am presently functioning.
Still some lower emotional
contact levels to get rid of.
But, I'm working on them
all the time
getting rid of junk
experiencing more of the better moving in.
Peace, Power, and Plenty in good movement
through the soul matrix.
And abundant joy in knowing
that there is more to the
whole of Creation than
religious malpractices allow).
(On the down side
for the rest of the day
innuendos of that religion keep
creeping into my thoughts
and perfuming my emotions.
I know what it is.
That person is venting their fury at me
in their private thoughts
because I didn't accept the stupidity
of the grotesque crucifix and
all that it implies.
I don't know
whatever had given that person the
idea I had come to buy a crucifix.
A complete opposite.
I thought I had come
to give the person information about the
future of the planet.
As you can see
short circuits happen).
(And that evening
I get more from this thing
I also have to contend with the artisan's
personal bible study group
saying a prayer for me.
By this time I'm home at the cabin but
physical disturbance isn't the problem
the activities of the prayer group is.
I swear, by all that is Perfect in Reality,
that I don't need this kind of misguided static).
(Ouch, I've just stubbed my toe
against the edge of a table leg
in the cabin.
It was enough of a crank folding a toe
to bring a tear to my eyes.
I'll have to wisen up
not let myself get so distracted.
A half hour ago I spilled a box of
shreddies on the floor.
And before that knocked a cup of coffee over
staining the corners of several new pages
covered with quantum gravity
mathematical equations for
perfect eclipses involving
venus, mercury, and mars.
A creeping meatball is moving around
in my environment.
Just when it started I nearly cut my finger
on a piece of glass
because an empty peanut butter jar fell
into the sink of soapy water unseen
and got broken under the suds.
Gotta be extra careful
when these kind of vibes are ... getting in).

BIG MERRY GO ROUND
What for those masks and statues
along the wall racks are those cracks in the rows
of spindles with paint peeling meant to be metaphysical
A hapless fervent spins one
of the wheels in hurried waste
a century of their favorite karma flies off in haste
unknown even to the
carcass of the crusty old priest on
display behind the modern glass divider
The chip does nothing more than sluing to the bust
loosens a bit of dust
from the wall basket
containing the old saint's kidney stones.
That rumble the thunder has just made
had nothing to do with it
it is not the gods getting ready for a visit
The priests
steering the population past the
spinning wheels had no reason
to order heads shaved
every six hours till the thunder stops.
No dumb beliefs in
gods that
treat humans with low gifts
Some hand gets sliced away
for every one
forgetting to pray five times a day minimum
the left hand lost to those who, forgetting the way,
eat with it on that
on that fateful day
The same is recycled through the pit
time after time
till logic gets sick of it
Blasting into nirvana
awesome state of hypothetical
nothing
relentless
pointless
powerful without a thought
and certainly no science
for nothing in everything is chaos.
Fees paid for confessions
the best trees hewed anew
for processions of the cross
carried by a staggering authority to demonstrate
all that absurd in their shuffling positions
ahh, saints made from the
catalogue of persecuted heretics who
wouldn't break the ties of the death grip yet
didn't quite believe the beliefs
of old languages intoned into the
dark of consciousness
A mother keeps turning up in the weirdest places
everyone different
every name the same
How many times
have you been struck by fear
for failing to
get to the mass on time
Some great clot of heady vibrations
tuned into dope and sex and other
low frequency emanations
Beetles eat whatever
falls to the cave floor
Some wretches suspect
there is much much more
than easy to score
side trips to the force
and do nothing more besides talk about it
they do not think to the edge of obvious
they do not see beyond chaos
talking is wasteland easy
and no sting of truth
the thoughts merely babble
a few seconds of hard thought
got caught misting in easy breezes
What dammed legacies
still linger glued to the subconscious from
days gone past when priests
taught god circled the earth like a merry go round.

NEWPOEM
======================
You forever freesail
learning the winds with know motion
go and be peace
journey to joy
stay there forever
happiness in the Divine lights
Reality unmeasured by
mortal eyes looking
three days hence from glories past
return to the dominion is
all that is asked
rejoice in the re-union
the sounds of mighty wisdom
soar through the eternal
wounded souls
limping along the truth path
limp too much more
the path keeps
turning to the sore
it is not the way
that makes words too esoteric to have meaning
the logic of the fact
is the one act of Reality
that has no esoteric to devoid the meanings
a golden dawn lights up the horizon
as far as the single eye can see
there is everlasting glory
in the Reality that has no measure
as slow as the speed of light.
a wine brimming till the cup runs over
has many meanings
none of them diabollical
leaning the winds for
more on the tack to niceness
a simple thought of abomination to the body
dishonors the corpse
honors god when the thought is cancelled
in the instant it came
in the real act
the thought can't happen
a rose grows to become so bud
it is a gift of great gain
given simply to someone who serves
one another
metaphysical shame players of the earth
spend so much time
trying to connect the spang from their loins
to the female they most have on target
at any given moment in time
the essence is lost
see all females and males
conjoined in a great harmony
each the other so conjoined
within yourself
none can ever possibly
harm the other
no loin manouvers
take place there
are no loin masters
so great is the pure esctacy of the haromonious
therefore
internalize
re-align
put a crown of glory on your head
stand on a cushion of golden light
=====================
NEWPOEM 2
=====================
Go
and be knoble
peace
powers the plenty
enter into the kingdom
that is large
know the doors
are wide open
there is no bounds
to time beyond measure
where truth flows love
has being building
since creation began
and will continue
until all existence
is one mighty glory of love attained
in light bright so powerful
so radiant so chrystal and facet
there can be no remis no turning back
it is happening now
stages toward the final
countdown have already begun
and you are a part of the whole developement
so know that in the beginning of your future
starting now the heavenly gates have already
opened full to welcome you back in
==============================
== BANG THE BELL BOLDLY ==
==============================
Great
the pyramid
sound but only
just, so much noise
around the container so
much poise lost in boasting
old increments
thinkers and wishers abound who only
moan when the pyramid does not
open their eternity now in
one flash of instant
easing into view
so effortlessly so
polite a mighty Cube and
Sphere pounds down the bounderies
of the pyramid gliding along infinity
it stands true gleaming in golden space red blue
and yellow so intense so around no other colors can
be heard in the sounds of glory that comprise the
compositions out of which grows the new Cube
and Sphere so close so nearby so real
it can even be seen on Earth

THE DONKEYODEON
one solution is to beam on the higher frequencies .
another secret is love . in the world and in our hearts .
such truth lies in the formations of sanity
which is unrelenting ability to love each other .
we as men and women feel no shame in
expressing such love , in upholding both men and women
as equals within our love
it is beautiful . it is beautiful . only the love itself
matters . the love strapping is a very friendly shmoo .
devoid of sex pure love is utterly universal .
a child of five or a puppydog
can be your close friends
the love strapping is a very friendly shmoo .
our horizon I mean our human horizon is no longer diminishing .
doors to perception seem to be opening with snaps .
with it grows a lifetime revelation - to find love universally .
it seems our potential
increases with each long flash and smile .
how can we be fools any longer since we are honest
and no fool is honest .
thats what particularly hurts
because today the world has visibly darkened with a blast . the
world's schizophrenia is alive again .
today I am thinking of the Donkeyodeon .
civilization rolls on
a vast and mindless amoeba
with some parts dropping off
and other parts being added on
how about a can of worms to start the motor cycle ?
the message is predictable concepts lurching with loud noises
in the brain
arteries carrying city energy to the
fantastic Donkeyodeon brain . the heart
is the motor whose lines of force can reach
out from the machine to
arrange us . our lives change
no more questioners the questions
defeated by the brain .
in the process is change
a strange agony
the pictures shift
harmless behavior becomes
no longer disorganized
something seems to grip the trusting mind
and twist it sideways
altering Reality with a jolt
only it sticks there
for we don't have the will to change
the Donkeyodeon has touched our minds with a
black blast of iron .
but now ladies and gentlemen
my projector is ready :
for your own reviewing pleasure
let me present to you
the poems of the Donkeyodeon -
roark roark roark kloon :
(in some other language) whats real in the world -
ah master so easy it is whatever
you want to make it
roark bidgit bidgit !
oh oh games
ego making funny noises again
this time a little too loudly -
if I want to look at something above me
I float up to it then glance down
if I momentarily loose control of my environment
I shoot backwards down the corridor
into the dungeon .
the pin is my one contact with Reality .
the sea is choppy
with a deep sea freighter just pulling into dock
the freighter being attacked by the city whip
a whole slew of cops rush in . I run
headlong from cop to cop
confronted suddenly by a blinding flash of pain
in the face
it is the whipper
running gleefully backwards out of sight laughing having
just punched the cop straight
in the face . but the cop has caught ME - still
strange looking with the implant of a fist
imbedded in his face - and whispers
verrry good !
' what kind of a guy are you .' the brain asks
' how can I tell the state of your kind '
' the one contact I have with you is through
your can of shoe polish '
wrong wrong I have given up
polishing my shoes for greater things
now Im floating up from the sidewalk past
walls and buildings past incredibly evil
suggestions on the top floors of buildings I
frantically twist and turn to avoid these
evil suggestions
the long bumming corridor in to which
I am stabbing the pin at the
floor walls ceiling is meaningless .
I am hurtling backwards at terrific speed
into the dungeon . here it ends
with a clang of closing doors for the pin
is my one contact with Reality .
in the dungeon I am sage
as long as I keep touching
the pin to the floor I remain safe .
the instant I break contact
I find myself back out on deck with the freighter
just pulling into harbor , about to be
attacked by the city whip while coppers
rally in the background
and evil suggestions rattle their presences at me
from the lower story windows .
the pin is my one contact with reality .
motors for sale : Fog Motors Grand Stay in Business Ends This
Friday but Trapp Motors 3-Ring Circus of Big Buys Still Goes On ' -
yes yes life goes on endlessly
give me another cigarette
ouch - little motor pinched itself
hardly noticed it was only a machine
the shorter end of human circuitry
I know that kind of man
no turn-on to speak of
he is blind in a special way
but this is fantastic !
the typewriter isnt even human !
I am working on this manuscript . the typewriter
comes towards me . there is nothing I can do .
go away , I try . but it ignores me . help
I cry . the typewriter comes towards me . the
doors vanish the windows are asleep . leave me
alone I tell the typewriter . but it ignores me .
the manuscript falls to the floor . the typewriter
comes towards me . I pick up the chair and beat the
typewriter . but it ignores me . where can I run to .
the typewriter comes towards me . you insane thing
I yell to it .
but it ignores me . what else can I do when the
chair lies broken and the typewriter comes towards me .
outside , on the eerily deserted thoroughfare
only one main vehicle
a streetsweeper comes towards us
on the same side of the street : big
mechanical , and subliminally howling -
the hermit in us shivers .
while my own voice is saying
as we move ahead into history
we still tend to peer rigidly backwards into history
to the traditional whip which follows right along behind our rapid
accelaration into the electronnic motor of the 21th century future .
because we are still plugged into the past
by our umbilical cords of uncertainty
we loose the ability to grasp the meaning of truth
which is suddenly all around us as we arrive innocent in the future .
the result is abnormality and distortion ending metaphorically
in a crippling process which leaves many of us as
ontological spastics
and the rest of us as consciousless disasters .
the trick is to free our minds
from the false psycho-delicious trip of making history
perform before our eyes in a rear view mirror .
otherwise
lsd - horseless carriage of the twentieth century
' women might
lapse into sexual orgies
the speed of the
machine might
drive men to suicide '
' the trip
might encourage
the lower classes
to move around restlessly '
' in time it will
seem like
a 12 hour tunnel
suffocating
riders in every
carriage of the train
and reality
will rush out the other end
a driverless beserk
hearse '
' innocent passers by
will be driven
jabberingly insane
by the mere connection
with one of these
roaming smoking serpants '
everybody unhappy about their ontology
move our tongues to set the mood in motion
machines set our tongues to the off position
a moan now glimmers over the treetops
across the gorge
a ninty foot hard rock apartment juts out of a ravine in which our
homes once used to repose overlooking the spaced
downhill trees lovingly
ouch ! little worm notched itself
she has fouled her self
rubbed her body the wrong way
slipping in to core
eating apple outward to meet day
delicious forest of
fingers in her eyes
she curls through
out side in roots of the
apple tree . donut fashion .
she does not have the warm clear
windows of the truth meter
thats right . the sky is big breath over blue canopy .
that big blue mushroom tolls spring images like dayglo .
robins laugh merrily from tree to tree .
yet clouds are still roiling in the sky in pictures .
one blue and flowered day vest has a pout of sadness to it .
the whole blizzard of our consciousness might be
slipping into another gear
but neither is it moving upwards at this moment
nor downwards
but only sideways .
in inlet harbor
at the foot of Burrard Street
a deep sea freighter signals its coming departure
with a profound kloon . otherwise
mind remains much the same agonizing .
I remember the question of love
and after that the politics and the brain
and the forceless carriage . running through it all
is the Donkeyodeon
which still continues to touch our minds with a
black blast of iron .
this story began with love ironically
its ending seems to be heading again towards love .
but something has taken me a lot further than just to this
pause for in the space of just one year
I have changed .
we have changed .
just as the world has changed .
or is changing .
or will be changed .
to end the Donkeyodeon .
