Crap Poetry Toilet Paper
by Log & Toilet
(2006)

"One for the Goddess"

Kali kuntorts outside my yacht
Moaning like she’s giving birth
Blood is pouring from her twat
I drink a hundred dollars worth
So place my heart and all I got
Upon the stone of sacrifice
May all illusions fade and rot
And sacrifice this paradise
This lonesome bag of piss and shit
Loves only the Destroyer
There’s no escaping, this is it
You better call your lawyer

Crap Poetry Manifesto
by Log, Toilet, & Two
(2006)

 

"Crap Poetry Manifesto"

Crap poetry is what happens to good poetry after you eat it and you’re left with nothing but a sack of appealing gelatinous goop swelling in a storm of indecision. There’s no place for conclusion, destination, evolution. Just beginnings of turds, partially formed words, badly drawn birds, half-eaten curds, and YOU. What is the redeeming value of the dying screams of an animal except to inspire guilt and make children cry? The Dadaists abandoned reason. We abandon hygiene. Farts for forever!

The world is devolving into the raw sewage slush of a psychological maelstrom. Classicism is the faggy flower of culture, fragrant formalism for fidgety fags. Decadence is the dykish fruit of culture, faggier still and addicted to painkillers. Crap is what’s left of the fruit of culture after all the nutrition has been sucked out of it and it’s been ejected out the anus. If money is the sexuality of the dead and your hair is a tunnel into the past then we have more poetry up our asses than exists in the entire Puniverse.

We are the mighty poetic proctologists, the conquistadors of the mighty brown-out of civilization. As crap poets, our biggest job is to not be watching television. As long as we’re not watching television, we’re winning. We want to poison our own minds, thank you very much. Because poetry is the least important thing, it’s the most important thing. Like the Taoists say, “Know the big, but stick to the small.” Similarly, “Know talent, but stick to the crap.”

Cough. Catastrophe. Christ-Consciousness. Retards. Raunchiness. Rage. Apathy. Androgynes. Astroglide. Prickle. Prosthetic. Pucker up!

To say that a poem stinks is to make the synesthetic leap from words on paper to a sensual experience. In crap poetry there's no such thing as writer's block. Our motto is "Just push through." There’s nowhere left except failure. Our only regret is our failure to destroy all our talent.

Why wheedle the approval from some fucking intellectual asshole? We’re the shit!

From "Puffy the Clampire Slayer"

I am a Soldier,

When I Got Some Kawabunga.

The Crapture

"21st Sensory"

Shakespeare was a Catholic
Rimbaud was a fag
Homer blind and
Sappho on the rag.

Hemingway a redneck
Proust was really sick
and Henry Miller couldn't write
enough about his dick.

Whenever we pick up the pen
they make us look like crap.
The 21st century is eight years old
and sitting on your lap.

Obliterature
by Toylit
(2008)

 

"I am Toylit"

I am Toylit
Your ass is mine
Just keep me working
Everything comes out just fine
You know I don't got nothing
I know that's what you need
You need me to make you empty
So you can go out and feed –
I see you gotta go
But before you doo
Reflect upon my plight
As you spew
I am Toylit
You're all just using me
I must be out of my mind
But I am here for you
So let's get this over with quick.

"Not Not Poetry"

There's a guy who works
at PC Greens to whom I
give my poetry books –
today he said, "I really
like your work!" I said,
"Yeah, thanks – it's not
really poetry..." to which
he replied, "Yeah, but
it's not not poetry."

"I took a picture of a big pink pig once in 1977 on Crete, and sent it to Werner Herzog. He then sent me a very nice 'thank you' note that I still have."

"She Kept Making Coffee"

At the Coffee Bean this
morning I spilled a full
cup of hot tea all over the
place and said loudly, "I
spilled my tea –
somebody please get a
mop over here, right
away!" The lady making
coffee just smiled, said,
"Okay," and kept on
making coffee.

I don't eat meat. A fish

Without rain everything is
a lot more fun. See the

pipe.

My favorite place in
Berlin is Alexanderplatz.
That's where I stopped

the city. I still find its big
open square relaxing.
