BEATFEST November 3-5 2011 will have pilgrims who come
to celebrate a culture they recognize as their own-
the right to free expression for every one
has a Muse,and each must listen to her demands
If she says"get in a car and drive to Bryan!"-they will
If she demands they share their visions,hallucinations and epiphanies-YES!
If open mikes spill out with imaginative exercises,collaborations and improvisations
she will have done her job well-for all of us have stories to tell
and time is required,and space,and listening ears -
this is why we find ourselves here-in a desert,in Texas,in a drought
when ideas are in short supply,and dreams have mutated to nightmares
Muse calls us all to supply this demand-for fresh and original lines
that do more than describe our times-they CHANGE our minds
and lead us to start our own open mikes and open Festivals
so each and all and every tall story and short story might
become a pearl poem of truth and power might be shared
among all visionaries ,poetic pilgrims and unbeaten BEATkeepers of desire..
