Some thought-provoking comments and quotes from the Lizard King.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.

The world we suggest is a new wild west. A sensuous evil world. Strange and haunting, the path of the sun…

I like ideas about breaking away or overthrowing of established order.

Real poetry doesn't say anything, it just ticks off possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through any one that suits you.

Now is blessed- The rest, remembered

Between childhood, boyhood, adolescence & manhood (maturity) there should be sharp lines drawn w/ Tests, deaths feats, rites, stories, songs & judgements

"Have you ever seen God?" -a mandala. A symmetrical angel. Felt? Yes. Fucking. The Sun. Heard? Music. Voices Touched? an animal. your hand. Tasted? Rare meat, corn, water & wine.

No one thought up being; he who thinks he has- Step forward

There are images I need to complete my own reality

Dreams are at once fruit & outcry against an atrophy of the senses.

We must tie all these desperate impressions together.

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors.

For me, it was never really an act, those so-called performances. It was a life-and-death thing, an attempt to communicate…

A quality of ignorance, self-deception may be necessary to the poet's survival.
