New animation

A couple weekends ago I went to a great animation workshop with Nic, hosted by GSFI/SCOPE. It got me very excited - I do love a bit of animation anyhow, but using this new software (iStop) makes things so much easier. Yayness!

Here is my first attempt, at the workshop. Now I'm lookin for a cheap webcam to have a go at home. EEeeek!!

Junk

sitting in a dark bedroom with 3 junkies,

female.
brown paper bags filled with trash are
everywhere.
it is one-thirty in the afternoon.
they talk about madhouses,
hospitals.
they are waiting for a fix.
none of them work.
its relief and food stamps and
Medi-Cal.

men are usable objects
toward the fix.

it is one-thirty in the afternoon
and outside small plants grow.
their children are still in school.
the females smoke cigarettes
and suck listlessly on beer and
tequila
which I have purchased.

I sit with them
I wait on my fix
I am a poetry junkie.

they pulled Ezra through the streets
in a wooden cage
Blake was sure of God.
Villon was a mugger.
Lorca sucked cock.
T.S. Eliot worked a teller’s cage.

most poets are swans,
egrets.

I sit with 3 junkies
at one-thirty in the afternoon.

the smoke pisses upward.

I wait.

death is a nothing jumbo.

one of the females says that she likes
my yellow shirt.

I believe in a simple violence.

this is
some of it.
