The Worst And The Best

in the hospitals and jails
it's the worst
in madhouses
it's the worst
in penthouses
it's the worst
in skid row flophouses
it's the worst
at poetry readings
at rock concerts
at benefits for the disabled
it's the worst
at funerals
at weddings
it's the worst
at parades
at skating rinks
at sexual orgies
it's the worst
at midnight
at 3 a.m.
at 5:45 p.m.
it's the worst

He Got You

he got you into this art
of acting out things but not really
this harmful pretension
that which defrauds or swindles

it is just the art of mimicry
well, may be not just to entertain
but could be
also to survive

this is an art of life
imitating art and of
art imitating life oh,

this is all about disguises
the man disguising as a clown
to please the lonely kid in town

the clown in turn disguising as a man
to help another one

the man is not the clown
and the clown is not the man

no matter how convincing the
acting might be or
how perfect the imitation

the identity is never lost
they stick to their own realities
despite the perfection of their art

it is you who is lost in this labyrinth of art
your skill and instincts have failed you
utterly
you bring with you your equation
antiquated &
so inaccurate and thus defeating the quickness
of the mind with the sleigh of the hand

that the man and the clown are one.
you may be right, but i tell you you may also be wrong

well, you must cope up

simply see things as they are
not as what they seem
to be.

Mimesis: Mimicry Imitation

mimesis

Really?
not a critical

term that carries
a wide range of meanings
in context situations?

consider imitatio

You Little Fool

Daddys best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend
But shes never wanted at home
Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb
She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers
Talks on the telephone for hours and hours
But with the bird in his hand
And two on a string
The words of love have an imitation ring
You little fool, you little fool
I suppose that your going to stay all night
You little fool
Dont look at me that way you know it isnt right
You little fool
They say no news is good news
The little girl wants information
Mother just gives her some pills to choose
And says go and use your imagination
Daddys best girl in the world says just look what I have got
As she sits beside him on the high stool
With his arm around her neck snowball in one hand
And the other full of imitation jewels
She fingers a string of pearls
An imitation but hell never know it
Imitation lashes flutter above
Looking for an imitation of love
You little fool
I suppose that your going to stay all night
You little fool
So dont look at me that way you know it isnt right
You little fool

Original - Time, My Worst Enemy

Time, My Worst Enemy
Keeping me away from you
Time, My Worst Enemy
Moving slowly when we’re apart

Time, My Worst Enemy
Fleeting when you are near
Time, My Worst Enemy
Battling with it daily

Time, My Worst Enemy
Stealing moments from the clock
Time, My Worst Enemy
Until you are in my arms again

Time, My Worst Enemy
Rapidly chasing us down
Time, My Worst Enemy
He will not take you this time

Time, My Worst Enemy
You are in my arms to stay
Time, My Worst Enemy
Has Lost!

Where Is She?

Where is she, I wondered, when she wasn't there.
If she's not here she could be anywhere. She could be
anywhere and not alone.
I began to imagine the worst. At every imagining
I thought I had imagined the worst, then I imagined
something even worse. It got to the point where my
imaginings no longer included her. I realized that the
worst did not encompass her. As my imaginings continued,
as worst superseded worst, making the preceding worst
only worse, I began to forget her. As worst got worse,
I forgot her more. Things were getting pretty bad, and
I had almost forgotten her completely, when she
reappeared.

The most and the worst

Man wants money most
And uses it worst.
He wants time most
And spends it worst.
He wants things most
And waste them worst.
He wants women most
And miss them worst.

To do the opposite of something is also a form of imitation, namely an imitation of its opposite.

I love acting with kids, cause they're great acting partners. They're totally present. Even when they're acting, they're still available and you can crack them up or something weird will happen and they'll go with it.

Mimesis: Minimal

mimesis minimal a mere
artistic imitation of life
an artist’s imitation of life?

or nature in techniques
subject matter art literatures
as a reference specified?

mimicry nothing more?
usually emphasizing?
smallness humbleness?
unimportance of specific
person subject designated?

Really?

Free of Imitation

It's not ironic that I'm simple.
And prefer simplicity.
I've found a basicness that's easy.
And it suits me beautifully.

I use to be the one to introject,
My intellect and will.
Feeling if I addressed impressions...
I would also prove my skills.

But I was just like everybody,
Wishing 'somebody' to be.
Free of imitation...
Yet involved in situations.

I was just like everybody,
Wishing 'somebody' to be.
Free of imitation...
Yet involved in situations,
Like a need.

It's not ironic that I'm simple.
And prefer simplicity.
I've found a basicness that's easy.
And it suits me beautifully.

I was just like everybody,
Wishing 'somebody' to be.
Free of imitation...
Yet involved in situations.

I was just like everybody,
Wishing 'somebody' to be.

Yet involved in situations,
Like a need.

I was just like everybody,
Wishing 'somebody' to be..
And with that need.

The most significant piece of advice my father gave me early on about acting was, don't get caught acting. Really believe in what you're doing and then commit to it. Even if it feels uncomfortable, even if you feel that you're gonna look like an ass. It's all acting, but find the truth in a moment as opposed to just pretending you have and rather than trying to act your way out of it.

Acting As Your Slave

My hand asleep for hours
Waiting for the needles to begin
I have no control
They proceed to penetrate my skin
Acting as your slave I drink for amber waves
I never have embraced
Acting as your slave I drink an open grave
An epitaph defaced
Killing with compassion
She hasnt heard a word that I have said
Swallowing your passion
I can see a thousand miles ahead
Acting as your slave I drink for barricades
That I have often raised
Acting as your slave I numb my head and rave
Of epitaphs defaced
Acting as your slave I drink while she forgave
With trials left unfaced
Acting as your slave I stumble to her grave
An epitaph defaced

A lot of girls ask for advice on how to get into acting, and I'm kind of the worst person to ask, because it just kind of fell in my lap... I was just in the right place at the right time.

Nothing But Love

My love is not an imitation of it.
Or is it an impression I lifted.
It is what it is!
Whether you accept or leave it alone.
My love to give does not depend on you.
It is here with me to be shown.
You may take some of it to taste and test.
Become dissatisfied,
Because it is not what you expect.
You may even reject it...
To find something better,
You think for you will be the best!
My love I give is not an imitation of it.
I might have some regrets.
But I know what I have!
And someday someone not blinded by mirages...
Will recognize what it is.
And that special one who comes to give and receive,
Clearly will see what it is from me they can get!
Nothing but love!
That is all I am!

Mankind

You'll be
Going out with radio
Going out with disco
Going out like rock and roll

I'll be
Going out with telephone
Going out alone
To the radar zone

It's all just inadvertant imitation
And I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation

If it's just inadvertant simulation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking?

I'll be playing with my magazine
Using up my Listerine
Like Ovaltine

And you'll be
Dipping in your battleship
For the latest tip
For the latest dream
