Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 12/29/21 poem “Lead the way”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #82, Lead (Pb):

Lead paint gives Lead poisoning, like a Lead balloon.
Get the Lead out, or I’ll fill you full of Lead.
With Lead aprons for x-rays, Lead pipes in plumbing,
use a #2 Lead pencil— with no Lead.
Listen to Lead Belly & drive a Lead sled
with a Lead foot & Leaded gas— to lead the way.

Happy New Year to Janet Kuypers my alternating host for poetry at Recycled Reads not so long ago!

Janet Kuypers is with Louise Gail Richardson. 20211231

I keep seeing these friendversary posts with Louise since I have moved to Austin and one thing I should stress is that I should give a big THANK YOU for the opportunity to host a once every month open mic (I know you were moving and wanted to lighten the load when living in multiple homes, but I thank you anyway). I get to share everyone's poetry, because of you. Thanks.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 12/29/21 poem “Holmium, only one atom”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #67, Holmium (Ho):

I own a magnetic necklace—
no clasps stay together by attraction.
It’s ingenious— so make it tiny with earrings,
for researchers made the smallest magnet
from one Holmium atom. I beg to differ
if they only use it for data storage.
Trust me, 1 atom of Holmium can do so much more.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 12/29/21 poem “Oganesson, bending time inside”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #118, Oganesson (Og):

Wanting an island of stability
when looking for elements,
we found the opposite instead:
superheavy elements
that blink out of existence.
I fear 118 may be the end:
supercharged electrons in this noble gas
travel near the speed of light, so
time & space bends inside them instead.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 12/29/21 poem “Tennessine is what I get...”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #117, Tennessine (Ts):

I toiled in my Dubna lab for you,
‘til Americans in Tennessee
sent me bits of Berkelium
in packages, wrapped in Lead—
repeatedly rejected by customs.
I found you, but so did Tennessee,
having everything they needed
for research. So why must they take
the credit in naming you too?

Thanks for making a point to “like” this YouTube video of Janet Kuypers reading her poetry from 3 books to close her “Poetic License virtual open mic 12/5/21” (filmed from a Panasonic Lumix 2500 camera) on its “Poetry Super Highway” post on Christmas - this positive feedback helps us keep poetry readings like this alive this way, even when this YouTube video had 168 posts on YouTube on Christmas Day (yes, that’s right, 168 views on Christmas day) before YouTube decided to eliminate all but 4 of the views. So thank you for the positive feedback here that YouTube can’t remove — for this is how we can see the Scrooge-like spirit of a corporate giant in action...

Facebook keeps showing me animations of my memories over the years, as they did on 9/15, 9/27, 9/30, 10/18, 11/5, 11/8, 11/19, 11/25, and 12/15. And they’re still posting these reminders to me, and even though these images are completely different from their last installment, it is cool to see John and I celebrating Halloween at the now -closed Opal Divine’s at Parmer and I35 in Austin, Thom and I during his birthday celebration, John and me at a reason booth at a street fair in Georgetown as well as at a Vegan restaurant, and (yay) let us not forget my favorite costume in NOLA 6 years ago as the barbie doll from Heathers hanging from a noose used as a death threat in the movie (and we just watched Heathers two days ago because the street at John’s school was given the same name as the high school name from this movie)...

The street John’s high school was on in Kane never had a name. Yesterday he found out that they named the street in front of his high school Westerburg. Westerberg, which totally made him think of the movie Heathers, so today we had to watch the movie Heathers before going to bed.

Bring Back Chief Illiniwek 20211222

My Illiniwek nutcracker is finally accomplished... Thank you to all who helped with images so I could pull this off. I thought it was hard to sculpt one feather to make a crown for a Chief Illiniwek nutcracker, but you don’t know how tough it is using white nail polish to color the nose and cheek stripes and red and blue thin permanent markers to add stripes to the faces (including the 1"-wide face of the nutcracker standing on the main nutcracker’s hand). I even used white hair from another nutcracker to make a red and black “feather” headdress for the mini-nutcracker too. But yay! It’s done, and actually before Christmas! https://www.facebook.com/groups/chief.illiniwek/posts/10160249843208291/

Bring Back Chief Illiniwek 20211220

This was once a site that talked about Chief Illiniwek, and I posted interest in creating a nutcracker for him. It is cool to have a miniature Illiniwek in the hand of the big Illiniwek nutcracker, but making the feather headdress has been a year-long struggle. Splitting one feature down its spine and hand-coloring it to match the style is the only idea I could come up with to make it work, and having one feather spine bend around the crown of the head is tough. Gluing it in place now. But other than painting the stripes on my nutcracker's face to match, this is as close to done as I think this nutcracker is going to get... https://www.facebook.com/groups/chief.illiniwek/posts/10160245881203291/

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 12/16/21 poem “Dysprosium may be mined in the midwest”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #66 Dysprosium (Dy):

With China’s rare earth element mining
stranglehold for electronics, the Omaha,
USA’s NioCorp wants to build a mine to
extract elements like the elusive Dysprosium,
that could help make electric cars...
that’s fitting, when NioCorp was once named
Quantum Rare Earth Developments.

so, researchers use transitional Tantalum
(atomically thin in sulfides & disulfides)
to make islands in 2 layers.
Tantalum macroscopically entangles,
making heavy fermion materials
perfect 4 all our electronic gizmos.

And they’re still posting these reminders to me, and they still show pics of me and Vito, me with Dave Johnson at his retirement, though they are showing John and I at a clay court tennis tournament, and evidence of my getting my Covid19 vaccination (and looking not unlike the Laurie Anderson “Oh, Superman” single photo), and there’s even a photo of me reading poetry from the book “Lockdown’s over” (after that video reached 148 views on YouTube).

Since a writer last year screwed me out of money for 3 books (and I could have had a Steinbach Lincoln nutcracker from him too if they didn’t screw me over), I got a different Lincoln nutcracker. Unlike Steinbach’s mine holds no Emancipation Proclamation, so I printed papers with a genuine copy of it for him (the Gettysburg address is on the other side). While I was at it, I had a nutcracker with birch legs, and every time I see him I imitate him saying, "Get off my yard! I’m just trying to grab me my paper." So while printing Lincoln’s papers, I thought I’d roll a printout of The Daily Illini newspaper for my birch nutcracker to hold too. #janetkuypers #janetkuyperschristmas

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 11/30/21 poem “Rutherfordium, blinked out of existence”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #104, Rutherfordium (Rf):

The U.S. & Soviets battled in transfermium wars,
even to name periodic table elements. For 104,
the U.S. said, Ernest Rutherford & nuclear science;
Soviets said, Igor Kurchatov & Russian nukes.

It’s ironic they fought to win, by discovering
what quickly blinked out of existence.

Berkeley said they found element 102;
Stockholm said they found it 1st,
named for the inventor of dynamite

Soviets questioned both,
starting the transfermium wars—
Cold War research clouded by doubt

America got elements 100 & 101
but not 102, named for not peace
but explosives

Berkeley physicist Al Ghiorso, known to bat around
radioactively-filled tennis balls, once overloaded
a particle accelerator with helium bombarding
a Curium filter, swelling the Curium filter ‘til it popped

and all were evacuated.

From 1952 U.S. H-bomb tests at the Marshall Islands,

once declassified, they later named it Einsteinium.

French chemist Marguerite Perey
(a protégée of Marie Curie)
discovered element 87
& wanted to call it “catium”
for it’s strong attraction to cathodes.

Irène Joliot-Curie worried
the name catium
would be linked to house cats,
so French chemist Perey
settled on “Francium” instead.

And they’re still posting these reminders to me, but it’s cool to see pics of me and John so much, but also see Stephanie J Morrissey and me together... there’s even a photo of me reading poetry from books starting the “Poetic License virtual open mic 11/7/21” (after that video reached 229 views on YouTube).

Janet Kuypers updated her cover photo. 20211128

After reading articles very recently about how ice is melting at an accelerated rate in the Antarctic, this photo of us (while there was still so much ice there) seemed fitting. (And it wouldn’t work if we tried to plant that flag anywhere, so we had to settle for holding it for the photo instead.)

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 11/24/21 poem “Neodymium saved from e-waste”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #60, Neodymium (Nd):

With so little Neodymium & other rare earth elements
used in old smartphones & computers making e-waste
a PA group found new nanotech to retrieve Neodymium
with plant cellulose found in paper, cotton, & pulp —
we use Neodymium to fuel our tech, but to save both
we go to nature.

Terbium’s green glow’s known

but fluorescence from Terbium
reveals endospores in the soil

It’s out of this world that NASA
detects endospores w/ Terbium
before travel— so our waste won’t
contaminate space that’d kill

Supercool Dysprosium-164, make it
a superfluid, flowing without friction
(stir it & it always swirls). Superfluid
atoms overlap, morphing together—
& Dysprosium’s magnetism sticks it
into droplets. Crisscross superfluid
tubes of Dysprosium-164 droplets,
& it becomes a supersolid.

Polonium’s really radioactive
(a word Marie Curie created) and is in cigarettes.
Curie discovered Polonium,
but its radiation can’t cure you
of cancer from smoking, and radioactivity killed
Marie Curie.
A cigarette ember’s glow
is not like Polonium’s blue glow— but both can kill.

Very rare & highly volatile,
radioactive Polonium doesn’t seem useful—
then how was Polonium-210
advertised in 1950s Firestone Spark Plugs?
If claims were true, better
ignition only lasted the 138-day half-life,
so— whether or not it was
dangerous, it’s now safe to order on eBay.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 11/16/21 poem “Californium-252: communication, thanks to nuclear”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for element isotope #98, Californium-252 (²⁵²Cf):

Mobile phone signals
use electromagnetic radiation to send—
but not thru heavy metals.
Nuclear reactors solve this
& make Californium-252,
which sends undegraded, perfect data.

You don’t like nuclear? Too bad.
For our data can now go anywhere,
thanks to this radioactive isotope.

I take back everything I said about YouTube stealing views away from my videos (at least for now)... I was sure when this YouTube video of Janet Kuypers reading her Periodic Table poetry from the Down in the Dirt November 2021 v189 issue/paperback book “A Door is A Door is A Door” 11/3/21 in New Orleans had 68 views that YouTube would probably eliminate most of those views, but this morning I happened to see that it this video now has 95 views! So thanks to everyone for the love. You’re the best!

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 11/10/21 poem “Terbium-161 is just the right number”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for element isotope #65, Terbium-161 (¹⁶¹Tb):

lanthanides like Terbium have no known
biological role, so its in tech, or light sources
‘til now
The 1st in-human use of Terbium-161 means
161Tb-DOTATOC worked for patients with
cancer
some say science gets in the way of health
but with this therapeutic isotope, I beg to
differ

So, since Vic Phan started this project with me years ago, let me say Happy Birthday to Vic today, and hope he doesn’t mind my using the occasion to show off the Scars Publi cations coloring book he illustrated, titled “Under the Sea: a little girl’s journey” (of the poem Under the Sea by Janet Kuypers with illustrations by Vic Phan)! I probably shouldn’t be saying that this 74-page coloring book has two different styles of drawings of this poem for different coloring opportunities too and it makes a perfect Christmas present (for children, or gen-Xers who want to color for stress relief) on Amazon in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Europe, Australia, and even Japan, but I *could* say that for more color images from Vic that aren’t the cover of this book, view a little girl’s journey on a scars.tv web page too... Sorry if I’m hyping this too much, so let me state again the real reason for this post - Happy Birthday, Vic Phan!!!

Facebook keeps showing me animations of my memories, as they did on 9/15, and 9/27, 9/30, 10/18, and even 11/5. And today there is still another one from them, but I appreciate that, other than 1 picture of me reading from the Scars Publi cations cc&d 5-8/21 issue collection book “What If”, they’re all pictures of me and John (which is totally fitting, since I do most everything with him - including us watching the Bears / Steelers Monday Night football game tonight, and still love each other no matter what gentle ribbing we do to each other before the game starts, and no matter who wins tonight)...

Janet Kuypers shared a memory.
20211107

It’s really funny to see Facebook memories from 3 years ago, and they only show photos of me and Thom at the end of Community Poetry at Half Price Books. Facebook neglected to “remember” my hyping that feature reading of my poetry from the cc&d May-August 2018 issues & chapbooks collection book “Across the Wall”, or my hyping that feature reading of my poetry from the cc&d May-August 2018 issues & chapbooks collection book “Across the Wall”, or my hyping that feature reading of my poetry from the book of Janet Kuypers poetry performed in poetry shows/features during her last year as a Chicago resident (from summer 2014 through summer 2015) “a year long Journey”. Facebook also neglected a post of John Yotko photos of Janet Kuypers while she read poetry from the poetry performance art book “Chapter 48 (v 1)” live 10/7/18 at Austin’s “Recycled Reads”, as well as YouTube video uploads of Janet Kuypers reading her poems “Conflicting Convictions”, “Ogilvie”, and singing her poem/song “Made Any Difference” from the cc&d v5 poetry collection book “On the Edge” live 10/7/18 at Austin’s “Recycled Reads” (from a Panasonic Lumix 2500 camera and from a Panasonic Lumix T56 camera). Believe it or not, Facebook also forgot my posts from 3 years ago today of my post about the @JanetKuypers “This Just In” 8/22/17 Chicago show artvilla web page, or even a post about a photo of me reading my “eyes” poem from the 2018 Enigmatist book by Thom during the 2018 Enigmatist reading 11/3/18 at the Georgetown Poetry Festival, that he posted on the “Austin Artmosphere Artists” page. People say I’ve got a good memory, but I thought commputer systems (like Facebook) wouldn’t forget so much...

drinking adult beverages with Janet Kuypers at 21st Amendment Bar at La Louisiane. 20211031 · New Orleans, LA

While waiting for drinks Janet sat outside. Two people thought she worked there and two other people saluted her so she saluted then back. I saw the back room was open, so Janet waited in there - and in her uniform no one else would dare come in... Also Janet was drawn to the Al Capone photos that lined the room. The band stopped playing... the doors are locked... I guess we need to finish our drinks.

I was got to go there Bourbon street and ask a place to swap out egg plant for animal in poboys but Janet said we should wait in line at the French Market to get a “Krab” cake and vegan hot sausage poboys. There was such a demand that we had to wait but we have our own private parklet with a table and umbrella, it’s perfect.

Thanks for making a point to “like” this video on its “Austin Artmosphere Artists”, “Contemporary Poets, Their Works, Current Poetry Projects, News, Links”, and “Poets of Merit & Expression” posts too. Getting all of this global positive feedback from everyone really reinforces our efforts for keeping poetry readings like this alive this way - especially when this video currently has 129 views on YouTube (and they’ll probably knock that number of total views down to next to nothing soon)...

Janet Kuypers shared a memory.
20211027

It’s really funny to see Facebook memories from 2 years ago as just a show of close-ups of my lips (black lipsticked and all), but those were a bunch of Facebook live video streams of me reading never-before-read Twitter-length Periodic Table poems at Mohawk Austin waiting for the Nitzer Ebb concert to start.

Janet Kuypers shared a memory.
20211027

Man, I can’t believe when I see Facebook showing me these memories from 3 years ago... we were already in New Orleans for Halloween (dressed in 2018 for the 25-year anniversary of The X Files, and that pic of us as Mulder and Scully is even one of the pictures framed in our bedroom right now), along with pics of me in the bow tie glasses and Naples t-shirt - and a photo of people FROM Naples we bumped into in NOLA (mind blown)! We leave for the French Quarter Friday. This year I’m dressing in John’s costume, and John is dressed in my costume from last year - and I’m sure nobody will know who either one of us is dressed as this year...

Janet Kuypers is with John F. McMullen. 20211024

Now just under two week away (on the first Sunday of every month), come to the Zoom meeting for the “Poetic License virtual open mic 11/7/21” — the Austin, Texas ‘Recycled Reads’ pre-pandemic open mic that is now GLOBAL through the Zoom meeting — if you don’t have the address, you can find it on the Facebook event page. John F. McMullen (host of the Zoom meeting) usually starts the Zoom meeting as early as 3:00 PM CST, and I (host Janet Kuypers) will most definitely be there by 3:15, because before the open mic starts John F. McMullen will read select poems from his new Scars Publi cations book release, “Collected Poems 2008-2010” (and he will read poems from his new book release throughout the open mic as well). So get your creative juices flowing, because I look forward to seeing EVERYONE for the John F. McMullen poetry book reading before and during at the “Poetic License virtual open mic 11/7/21” Zoom meeting on Sunday, 11/7/21, 3:30-5:30 PM CST!

Enjoy the majority of the 10/18/21 television re-broadcast of the Janet Kuypers Texas Nafas TV show that aired on Austin Public Access TV at 1:00 PM CST, interviewing Janet Kuypers and her poem readings of “Our Color, Our Gender, Our Creed”, “The Burning”, “Fantastic Car Crash”, “Everything Was Alive And Dying (12/8/19 studio TV show recording)”, “Us, Actually Touching”, “Beauty in the Eyes of Einstein”, and “And I’m Wondering”. Because this live feed of the TV show didn’t contain the beginning, and because there was literal stopping and static in the re-broadcast, know that you can always watch it on YouTube - and if you go to the austinfilm.org website, you can even do a search for the show and find it in their site by doing a search for ’Nafas’ at “VIDEO ON DEMAND” online.

Janet Kuypers is with John Yotko at Circle Brewing Company. 20211016

So we went to Circle brewing company right before an Austin football club game tonight. I’m wearing Bears clothes, John’s wearing Steelers clothes... we’re here with the wrong teams and with the wrong towns, so no, we’re not feeling out of place - except at least I was able to bring an extra bottle of Walk the Planck enigma NXMW wine for all the staff to try, so it wasn’t so bad. Besides, while here, someone praised the Steelers, and someone else said “Go Bears”, and that it’s never a wrong time to wear a Bears jersey.

This is a request to all cc&d and Down in the Dirt magazine poets and flash fiction (I mean 1-page flash fiction or prose poem) writers: we are now designing the 2022 "Poetry Review" and "Flash Fiction" datebooks - books that are weekly calendars, with poetry, prose poetry, or flash fiction (with accompanying art) on the left-hand page of all open books pages, and a week’s calendar on the right-hand page of all open book pages for the year, & the first literature datebook we produced was in 2012, and getting stronger after 10 years! Thanks to poets/artists like Oz Hardwick, the America-based Scars Publi cations now includes U.K. holidays in this weekly datebook (I’m sorry, U.K., that our weeks still list from Sunday to Saturday), but I was thinking... I have more and more people from Spain, India, Australia, Africa, that are a part of this calendar when they have had writing accepted the previous year that are potentially included in this weekly literature datebook. If there are any holidays in 2022 that U.S. or U.K. calendars do not list THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED IN THIS DATEBOOK, please let me know of them by replying in this thread with the 2022 calendar date and holiday name (and since it is a regional holiday in a particular country, please let me know the country or region this holiday is for as well). Scars has always wanted to be inclusive for other areas with the publications we do, so any practical input for holidays globally may appear in "the 2022 poetry review datebook" or "the 2022 flash fiction datebook" that will be an Amazon book around the world by late November!

I have been remiss in not posting a group photo from the “Poetic License virtual open mic 10/3/21” (I know some got a kick out of my Halloween attire, but it is the only time I could get in the spirit for Halloween at my open mic!). It was an intimate get-together, but I had a great time - I hope everyone else did too, and I look forward to everyone stopping by to poetically connect at the November 2021 “Poetic License” open mic on the 7th!

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 10/10/21 poem “Cerium can soothe the soul”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for element #58, Cerium (Ce):

They say Cerium has no known role in humans,
but writer Primo Levi would beg to differ.
When he was in Auschwitz’s concentration camp,
he found a supply of ferroCerium
and bartered with it for food.

Some say Cerium’s toxic, but look at history.
I say Cerium can save lives.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 10/10/21 poem “Cerium-141, slowly seeping in”, a bonus Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the isotope of element #58, Cerium-141 (¹⁴¹Ce):

Radioactive Cerium-141,
a marker and byproduct
from U.S. nuclear tests,
rained down over fresh lakes
and seeped into our dirt—
which makes it fitting
to find Cerium
in tobacco plants,
all the way
to Lake Michigan’s
cloudy morning skies

John made seitan this week that we had for dinners. When making pizza today for watching football games (and having 1 leftover piece of seitan), I suggested adding seitan to our pizza. Seitan and artichoke hearts made for a groovy gameday meal. #janetkuypers #walkingseed

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 10/10/21 poem “Xenon discovers dark energy?”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #54, Xenon (Xe):

So scientists created XENON1T,
ultra-pure liquid Xenon
w/ photomultiplier tubes
to detect electron recoil, to be
their most sensitive dark matter detector.
But XENON1T spiked beyond
general background noise,
and now they wonder
if they’ve actually detected
dark energy instead...

The # of Chlorine atoms

& won’t treat
any cancer they cause.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 10/1/21 poem “Hafnium attacks”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #;72, Hafnium (Hf):

I heard of Hafnium attacks
on Microsoft Exchange servers around the world.
But how does a Periodic Table
transition metal wreak such havoc?
Hafnium makes Intel & IBM integrated circuits,
so why did Microsoft
chose the name “Hafnium” for this
Chinese state-sponsored threat group?

Hi there. This notice if for all contributors to and people interested in cc&d or Down in the Dirt literary magazines, about the 10/21 issue/book release.

Because of difficulties from Amazon, our proof copies have yet to arrive for us to check over; we could only contest this with Amazon this morning, and after spending more money, the earliest we can get the proof copies (which we need to review before release) is Sunday. October 3rd (or 10/3/21, or 20211003, or 3 Oct 21). I am so sorry this delays the release of the October issues to everyone, but there is literally nothing I can do to expedite the problem Amazon had with shipping books on time.

WHAT THIS MEANS is that they are expected to arrive here for us to check over Sunday, IF THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE PROOF COPIES, we can release the books Sunday, and we will send you an email about the book release. I do not know what time the books will arrive on Sunday, 3 October. I also host the monthly open mic “Poetic License” through a zoom meeting (here is the Facebook event page with the Zoom meeting link: https://www.facebook.com/events/1168411680631451/) on Sunday, 3 October from 3:30-5:30 PM CST. IF THE BOOKS ARRIVE BEFORE THAT TIME, we will release the books and send you issue release letters before then. IF THEY ARRIVE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING, I will not be able to release the books (again, if the proof copies have no problems) until later that night.

Once again, I am sorry about this delay of Scars Publi cations 10/2021 issues/books. Thank you for understanding, and we will let you know as soon as it is humanly possible about the October 2021 magazine release... and have a good weekend!

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 9/30/21 poem “Rhenium: the little element that could”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #75, Rhenium (Re):

In Austin & Chicago, Rhenium-186 is touted
as radiotherapeutic for Glioblastoma
(malignant brain and spine tumors).
In Munich they say Rhenium-188
helps with non-melanoma skin cancer.
Rhenium may have no known biological role—
but with a wide range of cancers,
it may save lives.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 9/29/21 poem “Gold for the foolish at heart”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #79, Gold (Au):

fool’s Gold in the Goldrush was only pyrite
They then learned Gold hides in iron disulfide
either in particles or as an alloy—
now they pull Gold atoms from pyrite crystal

And I think, who’s the fool,
one with fool’s Gold,
or the ones bent on destruction
& wanting something more

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 9/28/21 poem “Lanthanum: the shoulders of giants”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #57, Lanthanum (La> People seldom remember actors
unless they take the lead.
You forget supporting roles;
they remain, escaping notice.
They lie hidden, and use their accuracy,
helping others to make everything strong.

When you see them through that lens,
your focus should suddenly sharpen on them.

ancient purities in glacial meltwater
now released after millennia
with no industry, pollution

stuns us
when annual samples studied
match massive masses of Mercury

Mercury’s from volcanoes, pollution
so stopping coal mining’s not enough
Mercury in earth’s past can poison us too

I hope Promethium will forgive us.

like salt in Earth’s oceans. So, Magnesium keeps

like it’s a thermal blanket, keeping itself warm.

But Helium droplets falling

only exists with pressure

would implode
before we ever felt
the Helium rain.

I thought that since I posted the Facebook animation of Janet over the years 20210915, then they’d let it be... but they altered some of the images and they still ask me how much (or how little) has changed over the years. Well, at least in this animation they’ve got me in a wig (which I’ve done for hosting and in features for open mics), and it’s nice that in there they’ve got a picture of my dad with Walter Payton too (which is beyond cool).

It has been just over 2 years since we watched Morrissey play live here, and I hear that he was a last-minute performer in Chicago for the 2021 Riot Fest, but... today watching sports (Tennis finals for the Laver Cup, and the Bears and the Steelers play different Ohio teams in football), I heard Morrissey crooning before a commercial right at the end of the Steelers game. I looked at John after hearing Morrissey, and he said, “Every Day is like Sunday” (a song they once played to advertise football, how ironic), and I said no, wrong song, that’s the Smiths’ “Ask”. Why on Earth they’re playing “if it’s not love, then it’s the bomb, the bomb, the bomb,” I have no idea.

So forever ago Charles Shaughnessy (of soap operas and the TV show “The Nanny”) was in the same town while I was writing columns about him on Days of our Lives, and he took a picture with me. (I know Sandra still keeps that picture framed in her house). Well, years ago, along with other photos, that picture was posted on World Art Friends, and I may remember trying to let him know of this photo on his Facebook page, which is just his fan page (so of course I heard nothing, and I’m not keeping my fingers crossed). But today when uploading today’s Poetic License poetry YouTube video post on Pinterest, I see I have a message. I click on it, and it looks like it was a message FROM Charles Shaughnessy, in a message of just that World Art Friends photo. Trying to get to the bottom of this, I followed the link and inadvertently saved it to my Pins on Pinterest. Now, I *think* someone else dedicated a Pinterest page to Charles Shaughnessy and was just letting me know of their interest in this old photo. (So trust me, no, I’m *still* not keeping my fingers crossed about hearing from him.)

At the doctor’s office today and when they took my blood, two people complimented my earrings (that are screws going through my ear). I love that you can be different sometimes, and people like it. Oh, and speaking of being different, Laurie Anderson’s second Norton Lecture "The Forest" (which was originally a Zoom meeting) is now available for the next 24 hours as a YouTube video. If you’re looking for a creative break, here it is... https://youtu.be/AKOlxfFd9T8

This is a request to all Down in the Dirt magazine poets: we have to soon design covers for issue collection books. All titles for issues and issue collection books are derived from choosing an accepted title WITHIN the accepted writings; we have designed issues for all of 2021 (they all have titles and covers), but for the issue collection book, we want to use a recent NASA photo for the cover of the issue collection book, that NASA even described as a "hand grabbing a nebula."

We have no accepted titles that suggest a hand in any way to relate to this image... and we have room for a SMALL amount of space in the December 2021 issue (vol. 190). For this reason, we are looking for a HAIKU for page 5 (literally no longer than 3 lines can be considered on this page), and the title would have to have something to do with a hand, so that it would also be used for the title of the August-December 2021 Down in the Dirt issue collection book (with this NASA image as the cover). It could be about anything related to a hand, grabbing, grasping, holding on; it does not have to be about the cosmos (but what a bonus if it did). IF WE GET MANY POEMS THAT WE COULD USE, we could also fill the last page (which is usually Down in the Dirt and Scars Publi cations material on the last page) with more haiku poems too.

SO, to all people who want to write a haiku about this image, with a title that relates to the hand somehow, know that accepted haiku would appear in the 12/21 issue and the title of their haiku may become the title of the next Down in the Dirt issue collection book. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT A HAIKU, email your haiku submission to the Down in the Dirt magazine email address (poets who have submitted writing to Down in the Dirt before know the email address; it can also be found at the Down in the Dirt web page, http://scars.tv/dirt). And thanks!

After we were able to tune in the Bears game today and watch the victory with two different Chicago quarterbacks at Soldier Field (go Bears!), John and I had to use Giordano’s recipe to make their sauce and dough for a thin pizza, Chicago cut (and I never Chicago cut home-made pizzas), and I washed it down with Chicago tap water to celebrate.

Facebook remembered events I shared from 2 years ago today, but it only shared 3 pics from the night of the Nitzer Ebb concert, and it was cool hanging out with John at Bar 508 afterward (a John post Facebook forgot) but it totally neglected my post of the Janet Kuypers Twitter Verse Periodic Table Poem “Rhodium’s Flava Flav” or the post of the Janet Kuypers Twitter Verse Periodic Table Poem “Palladium, Ouro Podre”. It also forgot (and this one’s huge) of the post of the YouTube video 8/13/19 of Janet Kuypers during her “Poetry at the Gallery Cabaret 8/13/19” feature reading a ton of poems (filmed from a Panasonic Lumix T56 camera).

Facebook remembered events I shared from 3 years ago today, but it only shared 1 post of 3 group photos at Recycled Reads. It didn’t share my gratitude to Thom in his photos of my both signing in and performing my poem “Us, Actually Touching” from my recently released v 5 cc&d boss lady poetry collection book “On the Edge” at “Fort to Famous” 9/10/18 at The Buzz Mill. I also shared a post about the release of the Scars Publi cations Janet Kuypers poetry performance art collection book “Chapter 48 (v2)” (spanning shows from 2011 through 2018) on sale at Amazon in the U.S., the U.K., and all of Europe. Facebook also missed out on 4 posts of Janet Kuypers’ September 2018 Book Release Reading 9/5/18, where she read her poem “What Have I Won” from her interview/journal/poetry book “In Depth”, then she read her “Twitter Inside” show poems “Out of my Element”, “How He Failed”, “Drinking Their Life Away”, “Labeled Me Again”, “Prefer Things Soft”, “Became a Jungle”, “Now I’m Strong”, “Spit me Out”, and “Painted Buddhas”, and then she sang her song “My Love For You Will Stay the Same” from the poetry performance art collection book “Chapter 48 (v1)”, in Community Poetry at Half Price Book (post 1 video from a Panasonic Lumix 2500 camera with a Posterize filter, post 2 video from a Panasonic Lumix 2500 camera, post 3 video from a Panasonic Lumix T56 camera with a Sepia Tone filter, post 4 video from a Panasonic Lumix T56 camera. But that’s not all that was forgotten... Three years ago today John posted a photo of me reading poetry at Recycled Reads, I posted a group photo from “Community poetry @ Half Price Books” 9/5/18, I also posted about 110 new photos in the album: Janet Kuypers’ “Spitfire” book showcase 9/5/18 @ Community Poetry, as well as posted about 65 new photos in the album: Janet Kuypers’ “Faces” book showcase 9/5/18 @ Community Poetry, and even a post of an animated gif of many photos of me reading poetry at Recycled Reads too.

I guess it is kind of cool that Facebook remembered events I shared (or others shared about me) from 2 years ago, but it only shared photos involved with the Thirsty Thursday open mic in Dripping Springs. But Facebook completely overlooked multiple poems from other open mics, and multiple poem posts too. Two years ago the Janet Kuypers Facebook page also shared a poem post for “Zirconium Brilliance”, a poem post for “Niobium’s Demise”, a poem post for “Molybdenum’s War Inside”, and a fourth Periodic Table in Twitter poem post for “Technetium’s Inner Glow”. If that wasn’t enough, Facebook also missed John’s posts, including multiple photos of Janet Kuypers reading “Such a Surreal, Ephemeral Feel” from the poetry book “(pheromones) haiku, Instagram, Twitter, and poetry”, multiple photos of Janet Kuypers reading “Volumes in Flames while the Soul Flourishes” from the poetry book “Every Event of the Year (Volume one: January-June)”, and multiple photos of Janet Kuypers reading “Amber Beads” from the Scars Publi cations 2019 reprint of the cc&d magazine v184 May 2008 issue as the book “That was the Time”, all read live at Kick Butt’s “Spoken & Heard” open mic.

The Steelers won today... the Bears are on SNF tonight... and Djokovic is live right now to try to win the calendar slam (which hasn’t been done in tennis for over 50 years). And really, I don’t think Djokovic has had so much applause and support from the crowd, which is amazing to hear on the court.

After the tap handles were sized, stained red, and lacquer finished for the red finish to match the Blood Stone I got for John for his birthday, the tap handle is approaching completion for the Blood Stone Irish Red. All that is left is for #lwalkingseed to fit some square metal rods into round holes (something I would totally expect @walkingseed could do) to complete the most unique Walking Seed Brewing tap handle.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 9/9/21 poem “Calcium can be good for the o-zone too”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #020 Calcium for the chemical compound Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃):

CO₂ traps the Sun’s heat,
warms our planet.

Volcanic eruptions shoot dust
into the upper atmosphere,
drop the global temp.

So why not shoot aerosols
into the stratosphere
& reflect sunlight away?

SCoPEx speculates
shooting Calcium carbonate
up high —
for that’ll beat the heat.

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 9/7/21 poem “Phosphine for Venus: virility vs. volcanism”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #015 Phosphorus in the compound Phosphine (or hydrogen phosphide, PH₃):

Scientists claim hard evidence
w/ Phosphine in Venus’ clouds
that Venus hosts life

Check your premises, some say —
Phosphine comes from volcanoes
active on Venus

Phosphine’s an Earth biosignature gas
made by living organisms

But on Venus, volcanism kills
all of life’s virility

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 9/6/21 poem “Carbon may have killed the dinosaurs after all”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #006 Carbon (C):

That big meteor that ended
the reign of non-avian dinosaurs
66 million years ago?

They figure mass extinction came
from a carbonaceous chondrite
from the asteroid belt’s outer edge

all that Carbon didn’t reflect light
until this “dark” impactor
made life go dark on planet earth

I want to thank everyone again for a wonderful turnout at the “Poetic License virtual open mic 9/5/21” over Labor Day weekend. It was great to see some of our talented regulars, but it was also wonderful for the visits from... get this... Malaysia (thank you SO MUCH for visiting Julian when it is literally the opposite time of day and you should be sleeping; I cannot change the time of the monthly open mic, but I promise I will let you know of not only future open mics but also if any alternate dates come in the future for readings). And thank you to new Facebook friends representing Egypt and reading from Canada too (and thank you so much for sharing your poetry with us, Mohamed)! Thanks for making Poetic License such a wonderful and creative get-together, and I look forward to seeing everyone (and more!) on October 3rd (the 1st Sunday of every month) for the NEXT Zoom meeting Poetic License open mic get-together!

I am so sorry that this has completely slipped my mind (but a month late could be a Labor Day treat, maybe)... If anyone wants a high-res copy of either of these, let me know (I would be happy to email them to you). Thank you AGAIN to everyone coming by to visit when I was in town - it was great seeing everyone, and it is wonderful to have this recent family photo!

Enjoy the Janet Kuypers 9/6/21 poem “Nitrogen with its icy heart”, a Twitter-length Periodic Table poem for the element #007 Nitrogen (N):

The Kuiper Belt’s non-planet Pluto
shared its giant heart,
for all to long for

Its heart-shaped glacier is Nitrogen
not something we mere mortals breathe
but wait — our atmosphere

is 78% Nitrogen, only 21% oxygen —
so maybe that Nitrogen can account
for that icy heart after all
