A Poem: About Flying Fish

THE BEATNIK DIARY: ARCHIVES

A Few years ago, my Uncle Bruno Triliegi mailed a package to me that included thousands of unbound manuscripts that included Diary Entries, Poems, Essays and Musings on Life. I was floored by the Archive and slowly began to read them, sometimes alone and other times aloud, in the company of friends and associates. Everyone agreed that my Uncle Bruno was a serious poet and a beautifully sensitive and poignant member of The Beat Generation of writers that included KEROUAC, GINSBERG & BURROUGHS and many of my Uncles Contemporaries. The works are often short, but effective, they are observant and brash and at the same time philosophical and humorous. It took me a while to realize these these writings were very much worthing of publishing. Although the Archive is extensive and spans several decades, they have never been shared with the world and many have never been read, ever.  Until we can gather, edit and arrange these works into a book, this site shall serve as a place to share and unveil many of the unpublished works to the public.

ABOUT   FLYING   FISH 

       About Flying Fish and Wailing Cats and 

       Beach Blanket Bingo and  That white, white 

       glaringly white spot between socks & cuff and 

       rope and rat man, rat boy, sand man + Annette Funicello.

       Meanwhile in black & white your life unfolds in sickly tones 

       and death awaits no matter what and is no more, 

       no less than the fading image in a T.V. set collapsing onto itself.
