"To tell you the truth, I'm pretty burned out
on meat poetry or street poetry or poetry of
the down-and-out, whatever you want to call
it, because so much of it is bullshit; either bogus
motherfuckers who never shed blood but
insinuate themselves into the lives of those
who have and then make a name for themselves
by writing generic imitations, or a bunch of
middle-class kids still living at home talking
tough, aping Bukowski, Wantling, levy, Micheline...
but HAPPY HOUR is the real thing. Stark precision.
It's stripped down, bare bones authentic.
You be the real McCoy, amigo..."
-John Bennett

DRINKING & THINKING
FROM BLUE PRESS,
SANTA CRUZ, CA. 2010
"For a while, now, outside of
what you/ve been doing
outside Klamath Falls and what
Todd Moore was doing outside
Albuquerque, not much
integrity married to the inside
dope of the poetic imagination
as far as my jaded view
has been concerned."
-Michael C. Ford

Philadelphia, PA. 2010
"SOMEONE WHO LOVED YOU
is simply a great piece of work."
-GERALD NICOSIA



TASTE THE
From If Year Books,
Brooklyn, N.Y. 2009
"A cool little scrabble of
fugitive pieces, some
handwritten, some paste-
ups, all laid in like a scrapbook
miscellany with mean teeth."
-Kevin Opstedal, Ukulele Feedback



DON'T SAY A WORD
From Blue Press,
Santa Cruz, CA. 2008
"F. A. Nettelbeck isn't
fucking around."

If Today Is Your Birthday

IMPERMANENCE

rise to civilization

it is written out

moments
born of
recollection

of forgotten tasks
of holidays

the drawn out clarity
of the sad song

the integrity of
others swarming
around the broken
doll

in so
many words

we will have another

as the night folds
around intoxication

and the anxious
ages wait

CROWDED MIRROR

closer to possible closure

"God is still a liar"

What I Can Remember At 60

reciting the psalms
from a Tijuana bible
with a Prince Albert
tin full of pot in a
Pendleton shirt pocket
on a handjob backseat
night under a towering
screen that lit up her
purple eye shadow
with some extravagant
bloody gunplay before
any of us had ever died

FOR THE BEER

picking up my
Indian partner
at his place
today

waiting for his
sister to get
kids together

my human dullness
standing in the
living room of
the double-wide

finally he says

looking up at
walls of photos

this picture here
of me and all my
partners only
two of us left out
of the six

others died from
drinking

this here my brother-
in-law with the
two deer dead

here's my nephew

dead

my other partner here
drunk dead his whole
family in a car wreck

fucking dead

then his sister
comes back in

says yeah you and Fred
will be up there dead

in'nt it

and we all go out
together for
the beer

11/1/10






SOME

Some will dress up as the deceased.

All About The Blues

a walking dead looking
derivative foreign ex-
junkie rockstar whose
estimated worth is
about $250 million US
gave a talk yesterday
about his new memoir
Life at the New York
Public Library and the
general fucking public
had to pay to get in

Wasted

I'll punch out a beer can
pipe with this broken
pocket knife made in China
no carburetor but save
that little aluminum pop top
ring for some cripple who
needs a brand new wheel
chair and ain't that a fucking
head rush in this once
greatest country when I
can't hardly even walk myself
