Just to help Madsengirl out I'm going to finally get a couple, if not all of Michael's books so I can contribute to this too. It's insane that I don't own any of them.

Thanx Ang! I appreciate that. I would encourage everyone to get Michael's books, they are wonderful! And yeah, inventory at W-Mart is horrible! I ended up working 15 hrs. yesterday, got home at 9pm then had to be back this morning at 7. So I'm dead on my feet right now. But anyway, I'll get a new poem posted tomorrow! I promise!

Edge
I went to Dupars on Ventura Blvd for breakfast. Sitting at the counter smoking waiting for my french toast and bacon. The yakkity yak yak, talk, talk dishes clank, cups rattle bullnuts flying like the blue angels all around me suddenly became so loud that I knew the crap in my life had driven my head over the edge, my wife, my job, the city, the f*cking french toast. I made it back to the parking lot, lit another smoke and drove off.
-from "Burning In Paradise"Short, sweet, to the point...but again Michael gives us some insight into what's going on in his head.

its so weird to think that this is really his life or was his life at some point. but i guess it just makes people realize that just because hes famous, it doesnt make him any less human.

So very true, he poops and farts just like anyone else and he's not afraid to say it..that's part of why I love him so much

Here I got this from the official site.. It's from 46 down. MOVIES
Remember when all the men on the ship said goodnight to Mr. Roberts, or when Shane rode off over the mountain? Kirk Douglas trying for the note on the trumpet. Jimmy Cagney screaming on top of the tower. Bob Mitchum going after those kids and Humphrey Bogart pulling off leeches. Marlon Brando finding the dead Pigeons on his roof. Gloria Swanson walking down those f**king stairs and Bette Davis testing the weight of a rifle. Chuck Heston finding his mother and sister and Charlie Bronson getting shot in the Magnificent 7. Burt Lancaster with his rose tattoo and Burt Lancaster on Alcatraz. Kirk Douglas looking at his dead horse in the rain. Lee Marvin in the Twilight Zone and Lee Marvin in Point Blank. Mr. Blonde dancing and Dennis Hopper with the gas mask. Steve McQueen laughing in the backseat of a Mercury and Steve McQueen smiling at the engine Tim Roth as the only interesting money and Harry Dean walking and making Paris, Texas. Watching Paul Newman eating those eggs and Paul Newman telling George C. Scott that he wasn't getting anymore money. Karl Malden telling Marling he was going to hang and Karl Malden telling Blanch and lighting that bent cigarette on the waterfront. Jack playing the piano. Jimmy Stewart loving Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart doing just about anything. Fonda in the dust bowl and Fonda, Jr. on the motorcycle. Lon Chaney with a thousand faces and Lon Chaney, Jr. running around with Frankenstein in Creature Features on T.V. in Evanston.
We are all on the run. From the richest Maharajah to the lowest, dirty, stinking pedophile. The big, the wrong, the last, the found, the forgotten, the remembered, the free and all the long timers.
All on the run, one way or another.
Yesterday I was the answer to 46 Down in a crossword puzzle in the L.A. Times

i think most of those movies he mentioned were before my time cause i had no idea what he was talking about except the mr.blonde part. but other than that, it was a really good poem. i love his style of writing, i wish i could write my poetry so freely.
