I changed the name of my blog from JoanneLight'sBlog to "Kliff & Other Edgy Efforts on Klimate & Klimax" but it won't let me change the name. If you know how to do this, would you please tell me. Here's the Kliff poem:
KLIFF
A rant on “North American egocentric animus individualism symbolized by a fictitious character named Kliff and appeal for Geocentric anima consciousness to become involved in “otherness” i.e. the concerns of the earth
On the edge

blue hollow eyes, blue Monet, shattered Picasso,
melted Dali, mothered Dada, popped
Warhol war: follow that steel line Nietzsche and fly
your eye out, squeeze it man, squeeze it, a rocket, exhaust it,
exhaust it out of fear
Where to go from here?
Into the twenty-first century of course,
looking for Her.
Diana, Venus, Medusa,
She'll be there ready
for my stare,
Scopophilic,
Stereophonic,
hold the blood, I mean the ketchup,
hot dog, meet me at the baseball diamond,
we'll score
a one hitter home run,
forget the foreplay.
no bases.
I don't chase carrots.

Bunk doodle, you fool,
Cock-a-dribble do to you, too.
cartoon crazed,
Bugs Bunny raised,
Yogi Bear fathered,
Minnie Mouse mothered,
First Born Son
of T.V. Land,
North America.
Daddy fixes jet engines.
Mommy blesses bed sores
of the aged.
They're the BEST MAN AND WOMEN
money can buy:
North America's finest,
Missile straight
not the drowning navy wooden ship ahoy! land,
nor the dirty army swamp and guts oh shit! dead,
big blue balloon
up in the air -
20th century mass communication pluck every woman
in the computer rocket in outer space:
On to the future
to look for Her:
The perfect Mother
for the most perfect Son - first, tallest, whitest,
smartest, toughest, bluest, blondest, fascist IT
There's no two ways about it, not even in binary realism,
you experience ecstasy everyday. You pop a big, red balloon
a young blond who bursts with delight. Is it her? A thin,
red skin, plastic and ragged, is thrown on the road. It's her.
Jealous black dirty bloody female soul.
Whaddya mean you won't make love? You'd rather look..
Cakes, embroidery wool scarves feed you keep you warm
Lobster, candlelight, warm, steamed, curled hair
no taste for shrimp shape look stare sick.
Kisses, kisses, kisses, I want kisses, kisses, kisses,
I like to kiss. You like to breathe.
Kill it. Can it. Bury it. Smash it. Hide it. Hate it
DESIRE
You want a girlfriend, special girlfriend,
call smile see bye call smile see bye sweet tea at ten
in a little cafe a bit of poetry no sex tonight gottago
grandpa senile melted peanut butter jar on stove
don't go don't go don't go don't go.
I am a little animal.
Sad brown eyes go tear go mud go splash
peasant thighs go up go down go up and down,
Kliff,
edge of nature,
'I hate nature on the screen technicolour flat birds singing'
steel line of thought bird watching is redundant in the twentieth century:
there are no new birds,
brain sings its hammer song.
Pounding, pounding, pounding piss those men on men and shit
those men German in books art books snap! a dirty picture forever
flies away watercolour only smiles and family only peace.
Charcoal soul packed with all the dead plants
Earth is screaming
all the shovels
all the shovels.

It's Kliff
Look back, it's the earth:
It's the Not-Kliff.
