The Real Lance Brown

This is the poster from an actual rally that was in 2001.

This one is a template/blank version of the poster for last year, made for people to fill in with the details from their own event. It was posted on the net on a Bill of Rights Day focus area.

I co-edited and formatted this press release for the “Books not Bombs” Rally at Sierra College on March 5, 2003.

Created for a friend as an informational sign to accompany the shelf display of the meditation benches.

This poster contains semi-graphic content, designed to attract attention — particularly the attention of those who might like to take part in a production of The Vagina Monologues. (Let’s just say you probably shouldn’t open it unless you are comfortable seeing a big picture of a vagina.)

Tri-fold brochure designed for the American Medical Marijuana Association Recall Effort, which focused on initiating recalls against District Attorneys who did not comply with “Prop 215″, the Compassionate Use Act.

Made for a friend.

Always, Always, Always Ask For More Money By Melanie Bowden

Many writers are so afraid of rejection that they jump at whatever fee an editor offers. Don’t do it! Writers are notorious for not getting paid what they deserve, especially when they are first starting out. We need to think more like my therapist, who advises, “Honor the work you do.” His weekly therapy bill also motivates me to ask for more for my writing work. Whatever your motivation, stand up for the work you do and make more money.

A poem
Of a truly poetic nature
Would never refer to itself
Instead it would stay
at the cusp of the day
filling up a drop of dew
that hangs from a lonely leaf
always hanging, never dropping
Until a persistent ray
Of warmthening sun
Would rise above itself
To meet the challenge
Steaming
That verse-filled drop
out of existence

And that steam
would later be captured
In the thin mist of
Nervous perspiration
On the brow of
A young lover
As he approaches the door of
She whom he most desires

And never conquered-
No–
Never conquered
Not the steam
Nor the drop
Nor the noonday sun
None of these,
Or the armies that follow
can defeat
the dream of a love
Untarnished

And that is not to say
That there had been no attempt
At tarnishment
That is not to say
That there had been no
Challengers
That is not to say that
There had been no battle,
Then triumph, then battle again,
Then defeat, then triumph
And more battle
No!
No!
There were all those things
And more
In the young lover’s heart
as he reached the door
And he mopped at the mist
that gathered on his brow
As he anticipated
the evening, and the morrow

And why would a dewdrop
transformed into the bead of a young lover’s anticipation
And all the unknown battles that were fought to produce it
Why would these, together
with the young lover himself,
and his lover as well
ever confess
To being a lowly poem
or worse– mere players within?

A proper poem would never
Pull off that mask
It would never
Answer that question (or another)
A proper poem
would not step right up
and introduce itself
It would not look you in the eye
And profess its true nature

Proper poems are more sly than that
They make me jealous
Sneaky bastards.
