Katz and Poetry

A brief note on the Junkfood poetry side of things...

Every artwork I make has an element of poetry attached to it, It's the prelude that crafts the mental picture before any pens, paints or airborne dust particles get involved. Junkfood Poetry if the unhinged thoughtscapes splashing to and fro on a mental metaphorical coastline. It's unhinged, yet ultimately true, poetry for real life if you will. The inspiration, or methods, involved in the writing process of Junkfood Poetry is observations that are observed while doing mundane things. With metaphorical textures of foreign universes conceived by a strange clicking sound in an elevator, or contemplations contemplated in the dark alleyways or while riding a bus home. Poetry found while looking at raindrops as they fall on moist jackets and mix with their mates to chill in the crevices and ravines of the raincoat… Poetry about sidewalks and those little cracks you avoid stepping on, poetry about washing dishes or trying to fish a coin from the mysterious recess of the pocket. It’s serious poetry, complete with rhymes and mood, but about the everyday things our minds tend to exclude. It’s about complaining about the sunshine while dreading the rain, drinking the coffee while turning a lane. It’s eating the sushi on the subway as the trains thunder there, on the other side was a lady, with a terribly blank stare. It’s about the sky and the damp riverbanks, the gritty and the good, it’s almost like writing poetry, of poetry was Junkfood.

Angry KATZ...

Nobody knows why the Katz is angry,

or what anyone did wrong.
Upset for reasons only known to him,
rehearsed in rhyme and song.
Screaming and screeching on the rooftops so did he,
damage to eardrums can't be denied,
at night the Katz be hollering, on the rooftops so high.

Demented Katz

The second sketch in my 'Katz with nasty ass tongues looking all weird and moist' series. This one has yellow glasses and blue fur, ohhh and the curly tongue holding up a planet of course. - Mara Is here.

Seven days of the Same Katz

One Katz in seven settings... It's a play on how the perception of a creation can change depending on the surroundings. Rather than putting the artwork in different places, I decided to put the different places in the same artwork. - Mara.

Katz and the radio

Do you remember the days of the radio waves, where they'd be thundering across the sand. Such a long time a ago, a radio tower proudly stands, and the message read: Big machines be thundering far, It's calling me like you call the morning star, But the fire of heaven can't break this shell, neon lights keep you under its spell. An anchorless ship drifting in the idle waters of infinity, Take me back to where I wanted to be.

Tomorrow is Tomorrow

Tomorrow is tomorrow and tomorrow is not today. Tomorrow is an idea or that's what they say. The sun will set and the sun would rise, I hope its simple enough for you to realize. A place in the future, caught up in words and sounds, A fictional creation, something no one ever found. An idea in the airwaves, a thundering in the mind, A camel in the nightsky, A seeking you can't find. Its amazing and magnificent, its beautiful and grand. On the other side of the sun, tomorrow proudly stands! Tearing across the cosmos, explosions in space, Maybe its salvation, or the end of the human race!
Tomorrow is the heaven, or utopia at best. So much better, better than all the rest. Tomorrow is a place, so far from here, a place where the camels roam freely, And the beer is cool and clear. We've been chasing tomorrow eternally, When man was forged from clay. Yet we always just found this place, or was it yesterday? For tomorrow is ahead, and yesterday is now gone. Yet maybe its been here or was it already here all along? Tomorrow in the distance, yesterday far behind, today is slipping under our feet, and that just blows the mind. The camel chewed a chappie, and blew a bubble wide. He grinned because he knew, tomorrow is in your mind.

aaahh the katzniness.jpg

Come with me to the where the salt flats are, between the north and the south, the near and the far.

see with me the vibrant glare, and sip on the coffee as you stare.

The world of the oyster is in the mind, where camels roam and stars aligned.

the world of was, and is to be, the tango of madness with sanity.

A world like this, where the oyster is true, and vibrations take flight and up they flew.

a man rubbed his chin and said contemplatively:

If the Katz do think, do they think of me?

The Salt-flats

Wake me up I'm Dreaming (Junkfood poetry verse 1)

wake me up1 insta.jpg

I am in this world, wherever that might be, to see the things I've loved, all around me. for events to unfold in the way they should, and take the impossible, replace it with 'I could.' The dreams and nightmares in this endless dance, The shooter or the victim, It's all a game of chance. A hollering from the ethos, a evil vibration all around, To wake from this dreamland, with this dreadful sound. I see the sun, let the damn thing shine, No one's here, to say it's fine. Yet there is a moment between the dream and this real place, where there's no fear, and a no rat race. For moments ago, the dream was real. And why now, I'm I not able to feel. Am I sleeping or awake, is this a reality, or is nothing at stake. Am I dreaming or am I free, Take me back, to where I wanted to be.- Junkfood Poetry
