Hal McGee and Mark McGee (USA) - Beatnik Bongo Poem for Connection

from Connection Cassette Compilation #2 by various

/

lyrics

Okay,
see,
I’m a beatnik poet
and I declaim poems
accompanied by a bongo player

I need a new poem
for my track...
on the Connection Cassette Compilation Project
...and the words that you use here
in our virtual coffeehouse cafe
will be the words that I use
in the new poem

where’s the coffee?!

Okay,
I’m a bongo Cassette Project player,
see...
beatnik poet and coffeehouse poems
Connection accompanied by a declamation

I need a new poem
for my “virtual I” on the words
and the track that you use here
in our words
will be the cafe Compilation
in the new poem that I use

I’m a beatko bongnik
Deplaning koans
beset by companies
i need new bones
and the words we use
in our cursory valise
will be the words i use
new,
and in chrome

i’m a beatnik poet. fuck my life.

contact?
con-tract?
contract.

whirring noise of
handshake

beckoning through snail-mail
e-mail-
fee-mail
he-says,

and we agree.
to.
contact.

we contract to contact?

Close enounter
of a noisy kind
in this abstract space
suppressing reason
the treacherous brainwaves
wrapping in noise
the skies of consciousness

barren wasteland of telephone wires,
radio towers,
and Slaytanic lodges,
seekers seek to contact,
a man breathes into a microphone,
a woman screams into the depths of loathing,
soaring,
and endlessly freaked out,
the naked dance assumes no responsibility for guerilla madness


Hey wait a minute,
yes, just a minute,
actually not more than a minute,
for the gorram poem
of the gorram beatnik
with a bongo player.

The gorram assette
of the gorram cassette
in the virtual cafe
in space
is the place
for the compilation project
of the gorram coffeehouse.

Go declaim the words
of the new poem
on tape!
