Hours together convulsing in your life

Dan Magers, from "Partyknife, Ohio Tour"

Coors 40, I bought you at seven-nineteen and at nine thirty-one you were gone, but your ghost lives on inside of me, infusing all my actions with what you always dreamed for me to accomplish.

-- Dan Magers, Partyknife

The idea of smoking pot to regulate my life is unraveling, so I need to make a necessary improvement. I am a nationally-known public speaker. Sexy like a Muppet, guzzling Diet Cokes like I was Bill Clinton, my blankness is the blankness of Reagan. Then I became hungry like a fat person. In preparation for Fucktime, I threw my bedding in the dryer that was defective and everything burned. My friend Rob said it smelled like skin. You know what it was? It was the beginning of tomorrow. And today is all your life will ever be.

Mercy Fuck, a Poem by Dan Magers

I’ve seen everything that’s funny on the internet.

Rockstar of masturbation and hot dog violence.

I serve everything I get. What comes in is entered out of pity.

Oh my god, it’s happening!

Thinking about the history of death metal, I realized I know nothing about death metal and had a panic attack.

I tried to mouth off to some people, and they just took it.

What a wimpy Halloween.

GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG

Here above is the book trailer for Dan Magers' Partyknife, which is out today from Birds LLC. And here below is a poem composed of words that a member of the old guard said to me tonight about one of my poems.

I SEEM TO ME A GOD —for D. Magers

I think the poem

is a system sometimes you say red

means go and you're not allowed to do that I'm looking

for you I stop somewhere waiting for you

to maximize the power

of the system from my point of view danniel I don't get

why you're hurting

your own poem in a system without it
