   There will always be a poem
   I will climb on top of it and come
   In and out of time,
   Cocking my head to the side slightly,
   As I finish shaking, melting then
   Into its body, its soft skin
   –Jim Carroll, “Poem”
   from Void of Course

    I love Jim Carroll. Really, really sad to hear that he died. Love his poetry and prose, and his stuff was a big influence / inspiration to me. “Forced Entries” is a really amazing, and under appreciated book.

    They can’t touch me now
    I got every sacrament behind me:
    I got baptism,
    I got communion,
    I got penance,
    I got extreme unction
    I’ve got confirmation
    ‘Cause I’m a Catholic child
    The blood ran red
    The blood ran wild!
    Now I’m a Catholic man
    I put my tongue to the rail whenever I can.

    I loved him too. Living in NYC in the 80’s, I listened to his records constantly. The perfect soundtrack to the life I was leading. Didn’t read his work till later.

    I crawl across the bed
    Playing the radio low
    Trying to forget
    What I already know
    And I want to sleep
    But the song never ends
    It comes from a place
    Where they dance the night away
