Chomsky
Chomsky, John Perkins, Sergio Arau...
Here are a few pix from the movie I'm currently shooting, "Harvest of Empire," a doc based on the award winning book from "Democracy Now" co-anchor Juan Gonzalez.
Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Martin Espada, Jesse Jackson, John Perkins, to just name a few of the exemplar people who so far have participated in this exciting project.
This film will be seen first in Theaters probably Spring of 2009....
Nother new poem
Alan Caudillo
______________________
I can't remember her name.
"Je ne t'aime plus mon amour,
je ne t'aime plus tous les jours"
Manu brings her back:
Stacks of comics; several
unwashed plates,
pieces of food; black
lacquered table found in alley
behind the Trojan;
porous, white light & winter
wind between
rough green burled slats;
mud & grass & me
on my stomach
& some kind of soda
& tears
& snot
dripping on the yellow nearly wall
to wall shag remnant.
Her face, thin
& pale, her nose upturned
slightly,
deep dark eyes
& lips thin
& nearly scarlet.
Auburn hair thick, dribbling
into perfect
ringlets.
She tasted fresh
& smelled like soap
& I thinking that she was too
good to be.
Not me;
too poor
too Mexican (or not White enough)
too dirty
& Catholic
& bad.
I can't remember her name.
She
must have felt very
naughty kissing
me
in the Hall,
long hair
& ear rings
& Black Flag T.
Manu brings her back:
"Je ne t'aime plus mon amour,
je ne t'aime plus tous les jours"
That night,
golf course,
we laughed
& kissed
& rolled on green; She
told me
'I love you.'
I can't remember her name.
