Dave Christy, 1953-2010. RIP

Alpha Beat Press was a GIANT in the pre-internet lit zine days. Sure there were others, the big name literary magazines with their huge press runs, but they didn’t speak to me. My first (poetry) publication outside my town was in the pages of Bouillabaisse, which was but one of the many magazines and broadsides they published.

In hindsight, I knew little of the craft. Had all these “pent up” feelings, things I would have put in songs, but it was coming too fast, and another band was falling apart anyway. No, it had fallen apart, that’s right. Things fall apart. But this, writing, I needed no one else. I’m back in that day now, having received comp copy of Bouillabaisse.

And I’m like, ????, what is this. I’m in a magazine with Allen Ginsberg, and a whole lot of other “free wheeling” verse from people I’d never heard of. I’m in some shitty studio apartment I didn’t notice was infested with fleas until I’d moved in, with a typewriter with half-dead ribbon. And they xeroxed the piece I’d sent, dead keys and all. With a little “junky” graphic on my page.

So there was some glee, because I’d stepped out of my provincial town into the “world at large,” but also the ???? thing. As the years rolled out, I sent more to Alpha Beat. They were my window into the world outside my shit town. It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say Dave Christy was a lifeline.

The long letters and poems I sent, some published in broadsides. Some he said, I’m gonna hang on to these. How many people did he say this to. Is there really a pile of all those poems, because I sure don’t have ’em. Point being, Dave always took the time for a personal reply, sometimes short, sometimes longer. We corresponded, off and on, for years.

It was hell nice to find him again last year. We traded email, and he said send me poems. I didn’t know he was still publishing, but he was still doing the monthly broadside. I sent some poems, got comp broadside in mail some time later. I sent him my Dollhouse novel, signed, “I remember.”

He liked it.

He was a friend.

Re: Re:

Pour Dave had a massive heart attack. I am so sad I can’t bear it-I am heart broken-he was the love of my life. Funny I thought about “our show” a few weeks ago- somehow after my coma nothing was fun any more. I am staying at my daughters house and will be moving into a nice apartment nearby. I have never lived alone Dave did everything for me. I am lost..
My new e address is anakatrina50@gmail.com love to you all.xxxxx

“hey, I am available! That’s what I do…. Train people to improv with life!”

That’s great. That would be great… there is only one little glitch… we don’t live exactly around the corner. Or are you planing to visit Buenos Aires anytime soon? That would be marvelous.

chapter 19

Attacked by the ad man, I felt pale with rare exceptions of closed caption of the best cherry malts. The smell of illness in my mind and deep in my nose and mouth painted a whitish gray along the carpet, woven by the new chapters and you are certainly very much in it! Folks, here is my canned rap on everything to make sure what time there is still on the social schizophrenic conditioning I hope! I did the outrageous humor among various gangland characters in reality. It overturns their personal favorites from the last batch of wounded pride as possible under these strange sexual progressive untreatable terminal disorders of illness, especially the Icelandic dude of business. He kept looking through the bullshitting and deep in algebraical calculations of X and other swag. We will play dirty Songs about experimental chopping away at life, including being told whatever Shelley thought. She was ambitious, unscrupulous, capable and deep opened before me. Ok, good, like always! Then she answered properly. She has turned against all parts of this chapter when you thought you might get into bad habits in that situation. Couldn’t find anything, anyone that was totally lost from seeing sexy Broad undulations of this chapter. Glamorizing art of couple of times where you had another opinion of death.

Play dirty growling noise music jam with raw sewage of passion! Madame, sing hymns about all together round and round. Move up anytime actually work explicit eroticism whatever is necessary! Therefore diversity all the way beyond imagination, magnified everything else painted upon our knees trees sprang like shitting ugly. How many times do you shit in a day? I mean on average. What color and texture? Do you consider yourself regular? How much effort does it usually take, and how much time? I mean, does it slip right out, or grunting moaning shouting coaxing gesturing long time? Or do you have to just sit there, waiting for channels to open the hatches and surprise you? Are you sitting on your pot waiting, reading this? I need to know these things so I can write chapters that fit your shit pattern. How does it usually smell? Wonder if you want to know about me. I can clog the bowl! Dark smelly logs or mudslides usually. Usually three or four times a day. Usually takes about five minutes, not really enough time to read. My mind thought rejection is necessary to fill the bowels bowl! Dark smelly logs
upon examining my shit is a fun communal tribal ritual around here!

Now we are getting to the gritty titty a fun show! When I was a kid, I just made one deposit a daily, usually in the morning. But now I shit three or four times a day. There’s no right kind of regularity! I can not shit under pressure! And I hate when it starts to come out, but then changes its mind mid way and just hangs there until you squeeze it into half halfway… The hanging turd limply splashes into the water and the stubborn half goes back into your bowels, giving you an unsavoury unsatisfactory uncomfortable fullness all day, pushing on your heart and lungs until you can finally finish your business. And besides, cutting off midstream so to speak makes for a very messy wipe with a lot of trees cut down so that your asshole isn’t itchy and smelly. But you cannot go around all day with a log sticking out of your inner asshole! It would stink the place up! There were years when people didn’t wiped my asshole that good. But they thought cripples had a special funky smell like blacks! It’s a wonder that people hung around with me, playing with me…. Ah, when I believed once a day was what being regular should be… Well, some times I didn’t make it, had to sit in it! And even then I had a great social life! So fart away! Let it rip! Brown clouds bellowing up anytime actually. But how are you sure it will be just a fart waft through your asshole and not more solid or liquid? Where does that self-confidence to let it rip come from? I mean, sometimes we are wrong! But letting it rip is definitely much healthier than holding it in! Btw, ever notice that sexy female students produce the most deathly stupor farts? You should research this!

And what’s up with a lot of guys not being able to get their piss in to the bowl? They miss by several inches! And they don’t even notice. They just leave without mopping up! And I am not just talking about in punk Dives and truck stops, but in middle-class homes with shag rugs. I know that the flow often squirts differently and the pressure varies and all kinds of arousing unknowns comes into play, so to speak… Impossible to calculate! But look down upon it! And clean up after yourself! Hey, you are not the crip! I am!

Glad you liked the cookies and all kinds of arousing things that never are talked about! You thought you were alone, didn’t you? Well, we are all mended together! Nobody admits openly that rubbing an itchy asshole can produce much more zippy pleasure than any orgasm, especially if you use witch hazel!

Wonder what will be revealed in the next episode, chapter!

Re: Ciao, ciao cinema III

Buenos Aires

Querido Frank

I’m still battling with my computer… but here finally an answer to your last mail:

“well, I always figure out how to do what I want to do with what I have. This may take years sometimes. But I always do what I want. This is a part of directing, of creating, of living. True, I don’t try to do things “the right way. ” I just do!”

This is great. The opposite was engraved into me. When you’re Swiss you’re taught over and over: If you can’t do something right, don’t do it. There is something to be said for that when I see all the half-assed things they do here in Argentina that start falling apart before they’re even finished. But the price we perfectionists are paying is horrific. The fun & looseness is stolen from our doings. Most stifling. I should come and train with you… how to let go and improvise. Would I get there before death came to fetch me…?
