This is the link to the Reinhard Palovcik FREDInk Archives: https://tom-miller-multi-media.webnode.com/fredink-archives/
Most of the work you can experience there (videos, audio, poetry, writing, art, photography) has been curated over a decade. Of course, you can read more about it at the link. But what you'll find there is maybe 1/10th of what is in the archives. In 2018 after moving to a new location, it comes time to dig in again, deeper and wider, and extract even more of Gainesville's great arts and music history. Some of this material I am publishing to my FaceBook page. Some of it, I'll add to the blog here. Some if it will only be available for those who make the commitment of investing in my Patreon page because it takes time and money to unearth, convert, transmit, code, and preserve this work. Ultimately it will all be completely free for the curious.
In the meantime, please note that the next few blog entries will very likely be directly from the Reinhard Palovcik FREDink Archives, and I hope you will enjoy, remember, converse, reminisce, and take inspiration to action.
Thank you, my fans, friends, collaborators, and especially my friend Ron Palovcik who continues to inspire me daily, even from the great beyond, with his cosmic curiosity and knowledge.

A NIGHT ON THE TOWN
Tommmmmmm
had a great time
tonight
now listening
to Takahashi
wrapping up
my shit
in a thin sheave
of rice paper
to whom
should I mail it?
someone
who cares for me?
someone
that will treasure it?
keep it long after
I am gone?
save it
for anthropologists
of the 31st
century
not that they
will care
about my
poetry
or my life
or my work
or my shit
or my friends
it will just be another
analysis of distant
shit passed
in the last millenium
what did he eat?
what did he shit?
what did he fart?
what alcohol?
no one will know
no one will care
is it mixed
with hair?
howdy
howdy
howdy
doody?
(inspired by Ian?
the only bad part
of this poem?)
doo doo
in a space
of time
and millenia
a piece
of shit
barreling
through space
physicists
can calculate
its trajectory through
the Milky Way
sucking breasts
of bitches
that mean
nothing
to their android
bones
skin
and breath
chow
arivederchi (spelling error?)
arrevois (spelling error?)
Sayonara (Romaji)
hope I survive
this next trip
to New York
bring back
many bags
of New York
Japanese tea
or something
more interesting
a flu bug
anthrax????????
I hope not
to you
and the horse
you rode
into town on
rancid
rotting
obviously
very drunk
