"Two Gods from New God" a work of Beat poetry by Zack Pat Shak

Introduction:

Hey there, it's Jeremy Kellerman!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post, but it's been kuh-razy 'round ol' Ann Arbor!

I've been in and out of the hospital and in and out of the studio and sometimes in one and out the other, like the way information passes through my ears, LOL!

I hope to begin posting here again as soon as possible, but in the mean time, here's a poem by my old friend and fellow Michigan genius/legend, the Beat poet Zack Pat Shak. Enjoy the depth!

"Two Gods from New God"

"where one road ends

Another begins

and quickly leads to the edge

thousands of screaming souls

return to the place from which

They Started.

I dreamed a Dream far too great

for this world

and so the World forgot the Dream

and forgot Me

and I, then, forgot Myself.

Memory comes and goes

and Returns and Departs

and Returns again

with the Tides

inconstant, ever-changing, liquid

much the same as Dream.

if you were I

and

I were you

we would not be standing here

together.

and how to break the barrier

of Otherness

that insufferable Gulf

between Us

between You and I

and who

we might be

Together."
