A Poem by Shon Toney
raft of birds
by shon toney
floating down a river of okra
on a raft i salvaged out of
dysfunctional birds with the flu
the earth is my imaginary friend
i am the stomach growl
where some sort of organ of conscious should have been
i am adrift on the tiny chip on her shoulder
her vagina is a giant canyon shaped
like a magician’s top hat
gravity guides us past smiling gravestones
into the currents just off the edge
that jet into open space
everything that ends begins here
in this free for all fall
a raft of birds makes a poor kite
i am
what i feel
is
air
next time i close my eyes
i really will

“First full-length spoken word LP by Arthur Magazine Senior Writer and “Bull Tongue” co-columnist, jazz editor, author, poet, record label mogul, and footnote pioneer Byron Coley. Segments of underground cultural history done in verse constitute the A-side, with subjects both heroic and villainous. The flip consists of an abridged chapter from Coley’s upcoming novel, Dominoes. Silk-screened cover with artwork by Savage Pencil.”
Alan Bishop on Byron Coley’s Dating Tips for Touring Bands LP, from the Forced Exposure website…
If it were possible to convict a group of people for delaying something, or failing to act on a necessary impulse, then I’d like to indict whoever I could get away with blaming, and charge them all (myself included) with multiple felony counts – just because we’ve never seen or heard a full-length transmission by wax dedicated to a man who has probably scraped at least a nickel-sized piece of skin off your body through the years – and you may not even had felt it when it happened or recognized the scar as evidence of his presence in your life. But many have recognized these scars, from near and from afar, and have worn them proudly for quite some time.
This man I am referring to goes by the name of Byron Coley. Continue reading
