incredible kisspulpers

in-cred-i-ble (adj) –too implausible to be believed, astonishing

kiss-pulp-er (n) - one that kisses life so hard it leaves yummy bits on their lips. one that peeks into the inner structure of a stem, a tooth, a vessel. one that contains lurid subject matter, a soft pith forming the contents of a poem.

{The Incredible Kisspulpers might just be in your city. They might just split open and spill on your floor. They might even leave pretty shaped stains. They are nutritious. }
Originally this blog was created to chronicle the tour of Lauren Zuniga (Oklahoma City), Spike Cowell (Columbus Writing Wrongs) Kaitlin Bee (musician, OKC).
Now this blog serves as an archive of that first tour and a continuous, though sporatic, account of the things LZ and friends learn in their journey.
When was the last time you allowed yourself to be poemed into pulp?

things we learned in seattle

  1. We might ought to become Jewish, so we can live in the Dojo with Dane.
  2. Kids in Seattle are paid to look sad, they are not actually sad, its part of the “Shhh…don’t make people want to move here and ruin our paradise” scheme
  3. It doesn’t really rain all the time in Seattle. That is part of the scheme too.
  4. If it does rain and you are at the outdoor mall you can pick up a yellow umbrella and leave it there when you are done.
  5. They have conveyor belt sushi.
  6. There is a place in my dreamland, with very hip furniture and modern architecture and vegan french toast. It has a deck that looks out over the the city with The Kingdom of Ish glistening in the distance. Daemond and Inti live there. They are ambassadors of the Ish.
  7. Even in Seattle you can find Ohio State Buckeye fans. O-H-I-O. 
  8. If you want to hurry along the keg line at a Seattle keg party, go ahead and hold the kid’s feet so this time he doesn’t shatter the light fixture.
  9. Everything is connected. Even the hitchhiker girls you picked up in Ellensburg. Later in downtown Seattle, you see them bumming for change to buy booze. They will invite you to a three-kegger, you will meet a girl there who dates the guy in Bellingham you will meet tomorrow and knows your room-mate from last year and you will start to spin slightly from all the coincidences.
  10. The Light Rail is clean and scenic and kinda wonderful.
  11. The bus stop is a good place to get directions form a guy with a bloody face who will  ask you for pantyhose and drugs.
  12. The view from West Seattle is a hearty dinner.
  13. Portage Bay is the only breakfast you will ever crave again. 
  14. When you can’t take the city anymore head out to conquer the Kingdom of Ish, Mt. Rainier.
  15. Fall asleep to the entire galaxy. Wake up in a cloud.
