In part to prove I still have a sense of humor, such as it may be, I offer some theatre and refreshments for your enjoyment. Perhaps some of you will find Amy Goodman’s interview with Peter Schumann, founder of the Bread and Puppet Theater, as delightful as I did. Or not. Schumann’s references to his own bread baking reminded me of poems I wrote for brulionmann as a result of his complaints about the state of bread–and cream– so it seemed like a great combo read meal deal.

“crisis bread”
“no money for a bread, we call that ”crisis” ~ brulionman
*
world wide tragedy
is bread
state of bread = bitch fest
gimme some goddamn real pita,
hell, some hemp too
a boatload of naan and a frying pan, please!
a plate of roti
crisp, crunchy Italian
I’ll even take a loaf of stinky sourdough
anything but this damn white mish mash hash gumshoe shit
cornbread? really? wtf are you trying to pull on me?
bring on the challah,brioche, lavash
toss some tortillas and frybread drill team style
I’ll sell my soul for a true French baguette
a full-bodied Polish rye with some style
German pumpernickel with pump not pap
throw a roll at the wall and watch the plaster fall
a crust you peel
soak soup
bathe in butter love
plate scour
gimme some goddamned real bread
Another corporate crime against humanity
wonder
hostess
sara Lee
nature’s pride
pepperidge farm
sunbeam
holsom and all the rest of the plastic bag labels
guilty as charged
baking loaves with out heart
soul-less seeds
bakery murder in the first degree

“crying cream dreams”
cream? get real, brulionman
brulionman get a cow.
tie it to your bicycle
hand school teats
seriously, get some finger action going
community uprising cream dream
cow eats sun
din din until day done
treat those teats right
milk, cream, butter, cheese
comes one happy cow
squeeze, squirt, squish
get a Guernsey with a babe
fill a bucket
set set set
cream rises, oh hell, yeah
no, no, no to piggy fat!
real cream needs none of that!
flour? does not compute
send that shit down the garbage chute
just the cream if you please
sweet talk some butter
tease the thick from the top
sip sip sip, can’t resist
drop it in a jar
get some bike dance mojo goin’
thirty tic tocs butter glowin’
pushing creamy envelopes
cheesecloth action play
guess what you got coming days
cheese, glorious cheese
get a cow, brulionman, no bull
you want real cream
fingers gonna need some teat pull school
No, I don’t know how to get a cow to ride a bike!
You’re on your own with that, brulionman!

Why thank you, George! So nice to see you again. I gather your reference is to the poem about bread. Ahh yes. This is a true and real problem for those of us who have tasted the REAL thing. Life without it is seriously lacking some joy.
A Very Grand New Year to you too, dear Lady with a Parrot or two. )

Remembered? Hlmm? What–that George is a she or that George has two parrots–a young one and an older companion? Or am I missing something, George?
OOO I love all your smiling friendly faces post from Micky D’s. Kudos. )
