Three Poems

Name Calling

I dont want to call you black
I dont want you to call me white
I dont want to call you Indian...
Oh, let me cut to the root...
I dont want to call you girl,
I dont want you to call me boy...
I want us to call our names.


...doldroms...

...so here I am now where I thought to go...
...and the black glass doors shuttered day and night...
...and plants growing up between the cracks...
...though the neon sails still display-so, hope...


The Dogs of Cuzco

Oh, I have a new romance
For romantic orphans,
Strays that we are,
A new relationship as it were:
We adopt one another,
Enough of the two by two bubble.
A realm all of our own one another adopted-
We're family!

Notes:  Kenga, onherbike, did, what's it called?...live stream zoom...herself and four other motorcycle travelers going around the world in a talkabout...and from there I lifted 'bubble'...traveling alone was contrasted with traveling with someone...alone one reached out to people on the road...couples were like in a "bubble"...that might be an urban word...and, and  watching vlog Travel Bum, Lindsay and her boyfriend in lockdown in Cuzco, their travels curtailed too, they went out with animal care group and provided care for stray dogs in Cuzco...this came about from their adopting Mr. Potatohead, a Cuzco stray that hooked up...not to disparage hooking up, but I'm finding "adoption"...well, what can I say, "adopt me" a new flirtation...the first line of doldrom was pulled from a comment in total different context...it kinda rolled out on its own, and  days later I determined to put something with it!...Name Calling is like, I dunno...anyway, these are Black Deck poems...often I dont 'see' them complete...poems are where one finds them...the vlog adventurers...well, there are poems happening around them...the real timeiness!!!

One Poem

Black

Oh, to join the Owls,
Read the night,
Wisdom that is,
And know
Who's who.

Rainbow Walls

Rainbow Walls

The youtube comment sections to vlogs, the youtube graffiti wall, so to speak, is where I hang out...not to 'placard', but, actually, to comment...a lame effort somewhere between hopeless and useless...grafiitti on a freeway underpass has a certain certainty; seen daily, until covered up by more graffitti, or scrubbed away, or painted over...pieces of the Berlin wall with graffiti are now monuments...comments to comments tend to obscurity quickly, and, and they are closely monitered by the platform administrator, Google/YouTube...likewise, Facebook, Twitter, etc., the same...picture: a scrolling wall to graffiti...nearby the Santa Ana River is cemented from Del Prado Dam, which is famous for being graffitied in 1976 with a giant American flag celebrating 1776 birthday...havent been there in awhile, flag should still be there...oh!, the river is cemented from the dam to confluence with the Pacific Ocean, and the banks are a perfect scroll canvas for graffitiests...left to their endeavors, it would be a marvel...but, no, mottled patches of white paint everywhere, the daily effort of Maintenance to Dominate...😃...nonetheless, Google provides a graffiti scroll of its own, which I would add links to, but the 'share' link is gone...I just came from Austrailan newscast that went on about antifa, how it co-ops the protests, and how its graffiti can be seen being done by protestors, made me look...an A in a circle...which too is an old army air corp emblem...my motif obsession!...anyway, upshot is, I cant hot link these image  searches, so one will have to enter them to see search, and click on images in menu bar...Antifa graffitti, Nazi graffitti...add searches Peace, Trump, Obama, etc. with graffitti, and, and too much!...a picture is worth too many words!!!...added Mexican border wall...and this:
Watch "Washington, D.C. Transforms Street into Black Lives Matter Mural | NowThis" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/Y7Rgd0_2eqA

And now the fence put up around the White House is festooned with protest art...

???!!!***

Notes: I posted this up to youtube comments, and then took it down...the mention of the Mexican Wall noted the irony of the President building the Wall, only to have it become a very very long Graffiti Scroll, thousands of miles...that seemed too harsh, so I deleted it...but I saved the post, even back then thought to post it to the blog here...it gets at some things...in fact, back a long ways I wrote up how the whole web is like a blank wall to graffiti...by way back, like 1999...I like the comment!...anyway, not a few days later, BLM in yellow got painted on the asphalt in front of the White House, along with the self same street being named Black Lives Matter Plaza...go figure...no doubt new asphalt road workers will cover this up...but, and now this morning, news has it protest artists are hanging art works on the tall black chain link fence all around the White House...these too easily gone by taking the fence down...the protest expressions have been like graffiti all over the world...or what's that art form called?...performance art!...an on and on...I happen on white supremists racist comments in comment sections all the time...trolls...and weirdly, for everyone one of those, there's 'libertard' comments...a placard graffiti war by bots...how this works, I think, is an algorithm recognizes content in a social media post/comment, and then sends to an army of trolls in waiting, which can be either real people who even make a buck for their effort, or computer programs that can articulate comments, notice where to post a comment, and these trolls attack like locusts...the protests have this refrain: some 18 year old kid makes a hashtag, 'lets all meet here and when', and thousands arrive to protests...there's something suspect to this, a lot of '18 year old kids' have accomplished this, this going back years with gatherings that spring up on account of hash tag notices...hashtag 'me too' comes to mind...this circumstance is a lot like what the comment trolls do...a hashtag such and such video/vlog/article goes out from the algo, and the trolls arrive to spam...it is spamming...algos note I'm browsing on the web for some product, and I get tagged with advertising for that product...tagging is graffiti...the world has been flooded with automated graffiti....and armies of graffiti trolls who make money, or ideological gains by tagging...tagging has no nobility...it gives no quarter...graffiti is painted atop graffiti atop graffiti...black lives matter is spoken, and no sooner, all lives matter is spoken...and this can all be without  real human involvement...a computer can fashion what I've come to call a 'placard', some catchy bullet point...and another computer can tag it...one computer saying black lives matter another saying all lives matter...it's like the dueling banjo scene in movie Deliverance, or better, the Minuet in G scene in movie Electric Dreams...so, soh, I dont protest white supremist troll posts on the web...it would be a real wack a mole futility...but, well, this post IS a protest against racism, white supremists, "between hopeless and useless"...anyway, as the graffit war around, and coming out of the White House, goes on and on, I'll update...

False Flags



False Flags

*clip with comment from comments*

Watch "Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) - 9-11 Foreshadowing" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/Fe58Lq8puQ8

What i dont get is why people look so deep into shit and to crack codes, enlightem your minds ect...wtf can any single person do about things.  These people always wanna enlighten your mind.  For what!!???  Not shit you can do about it!  So y live life like that. -Mountain Du

*an exposition scene much noted for its prescience of 911*
Watch "The Long Kiss GoodNight 9/11 Movie" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/1LqM3564Ur8

0:44  You're telling me, you're gonna fake some terrorist thing just to scare some  money out of congress?

*the tanker truck footage was used in two more movies with some modifications*
Watch "From High to Low #5 - The "Long Kiss Goodnight" truck crash and bridge explosion" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/U-_1gWpQxdM

*the original scene*

Watch "The Long Kiss Goodnight - Edited Truck Scene" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/5wfo10Oke3I

*Geena blows up a truck in another movie*

Watch "Thelma & Louise (1991) - Truck Driver Confrontation" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/JGwDHsb5Zz4

*and of course this today, the event that made me recall movie Long Kiss Goodnight...an underated movie*

Watch "Semi-truck appears to try to drive through protesters on Minneapolis interstate" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/fDktSSZkflU

*runamuk trucks are a Hollywood trope...to me, a motif...and cbs newscasters provided captioning as the truck event for reals unfolded...curious at first the truck was thought just there by missfortune, the driver coming up on the crowd unknowingly...comments in many comments to the many clips speculate as much in defense of the driver...trolls saying this?...robot trolls flooding multiple vlogs?...I dunno...comments of this take were quick to flood the comment threads...the truck did come to a stop...I study motifs, I study their captions, for a long time I've studied events, 'incidents'...as in Panay Incident...so, soh, I'm a SOH, Mountain Du, a Student of History...and true, I can't do anything about events-current ones are just as distant it seems as ancient history events...Remember the Panay...*

???!!!***

Notes: as noted in earlier post, I've been diverted from posting to the blog to posting to youtube vlog comment sections...not recommended!!!...lol...above is comment I made on contemplating clips of the tanker truck on the bridge...and I posted it to three vlogs:...George Webb's, not recomended-a terrible time sink...to the clip with Mountain Du's comment, which is months old, and, and, where else, I forget...oh, to cbs clip comments...if someone in days to come replies to my comment, or even just leaves a like, my mail envelope icon will have a number by it-a headsup...the potential for conversation on yt is huge, but one seldom gets replies, or likes...Journalists are familiar with this...what they publish doesnt bring in a flood of responses usually, unless they misspell something, or their story is about cats!...nowadays with social media , webizens are all familiar with what jounalism is like...going on years now social media been around, and everyone grizzled...so far no replies or likes to this 'False Flag'..usual...innured to such I am...actually, by posting comment one replies to all, so one to one back and forths rare...if a reply of interest shows, I'll add here...oh, I found a trick doing that comment...putting a star * on either side* makes text bold in yt comments...usually to set things apart I key quote unquote...over the previous months I've posted hundreds of comments...many I delete after awhile...on occassion I get an envelope headsup from a comment made months ago...oh..,this...???!!!***...is "what the hell", found on flag/patches of the Rice Paddy Navy, our China Coast navy soldiering on land during WW2...I've gotta a bunch of emojis...
