Nowhere and Capitalism
Distributing participation medals
Is a protest
Against
Capitalism. Evaluating participation
Via price
Creates value
Through the scheme of competition.
Bubbles wading through water
Complicates this notion-
Air pockets
Gliding over
Like water striders tiptoeing across the Dead Sea
Motions the progress of momentary
Awe-
As bubble spurts
Initiate spontaneous death
It’s reasonable to consider
Their value
As
Both immense and minuscule.
Moment of awe duplicated en-masse
Special in its seconds long inhale and burst
But common
As the ripples
Guiding its essence
To shore.
What distinguishes the middle ground
From its direction
Is the sustainability
Of having nowhere to go
And claiming
To have been there before.

Frozen Charlotte
Skin, blue,
like mistletoe berries
under her midnight sun, she
sways and hums
to the tune of fireflies
in flight
and whispers upon the wind
though bare branches.
Night’s chill rests, warm,
upon bare shoulders
in want of cover, but
the anima
and blood
are numb to Winter’s sting.
So, she dances,
the wreath of Spring,
long fallen away,
beyond the crystalline grasp
of icy fingertips
(or loving hands).
Falling
silent and still—
a night heron frozen, midflight—
she turns, slowly,
to me
and the offending glow
of yellow lamplight
on bedroom walls (reflected in my eyes),
until thoughts pull her
away
in cold procession
back
into the taciturn embrace of
Night’s song
and that baleful moon, above.
So,
she dances,
unknowing (uncaring)
that she’ll be alone
for the next thaw.

Ron Whitehead takes you on a journey across lands and through mindscapes in The Adventures of Brain Man. Searching for his “Other” brother, The Brain Man, who left home at seventeen for Oxford on an academic scholarship never to be seen again. Only heard about in news reports, magazine articles, and the occasional poem in various publications. After finding a mysterious and scathing letter about a book Brain had written in a secret part of the attic, Ron sets off to find his brother for answers. Ultimately finding himself in the end.
Holy hell—this book is absolutely gorgeous! I just got the proof copy of The Adventures of Brain Man by Ron Whitehead, and somehow it turned out even better than I expected!!
Cover art by The Art of Ryan Case, premium color interior on heavy white paper, typewriter font, ravens around the titles, skulls above the numbers, it is just incredible. I dig it.
Y’all keep your eyes peeled, the release date is October 15th. This is definitely a book you want to add to your collection. Actually, I can’t wait until it’s published so I can order one for MYSELF!!
Write On,
J.D.C.IV
