  “We began to find out a whole lot of things about the real nature of words and writing…What are words and what are they doing? Where are they going? The cut-up method treats words as the painter treats his paint, raw material with rules and reasons of its own.” — Brion Gysin

The end of the third month of 2009…. the year is already flying by. Upon us is April, the cruelest month according to a certain poet; perhaps that is why April is also National Poetry Month. Celebrate National Poetry Month by writing a poegle, or a dozen!

Jamie in Brooklyn, winner of February’s $100 Poegle Challenge, has sent another fine poegle.  Enjoy.

My Trout

There is a regional slang in which
someone may call someone
with whom he is acquainted
“my trout” (or “me trout”).

“Me oul’ trout”
and “sound as a trout”
are used here (Ireland)
to describe a dependable person.

Perhaps it’s related
to the Arcadian (transplanted
to Louisiana cajun) “ma tout.”
Clifton Chenier had a Zydeco song
called “Ma Tout Tout.”

“It is my own fault,” said Ruiz.
“I cast my trout fly without truth,
and it came back and
struck me because
there was no truth in my hand.”

Jamie in Brooklyn (search phrase “my trout”)

You are entering

A world of sight and sound!
A world of pain;
The comfort zone;
The business world;
A highway or street from a private driveway and the way is clear.

A world of sight and sound!
The temple domain;
A restricted area;
A no spin zone;
A new age of redundancy. Beware. 

Menopause. Hell.
Egypt, from which you came.
A quarantine area.
A gay- and lesbian-free zone.
A period of intense bodily, mental, and spiritual transformation.

Heavy horror metal!
An easily hackable page.
My digital metamorphosis.
The lair of Sluggy X.
A dangerous area, and the possibility of injury or death is real.

A world of sight and sound!
A distribution maze;
A tinkering zone;
The ghost town;
The home of the pseudotumor cerebri support network.

-From Julie in DC (search phrase “you are entering”)
