Crime Is This Poet Our Space Cowboy Bomber?
Posted by Cienna Madrid on Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 11:16 AM
The charging documents list his name as Vladimir Lestat Augustine, (alternative spelling, Augustin):

- Vladimir Augustin
If it is the same guy, as of last April, he was writing poems on the backs of business cards in exchange for a meal. My mind keeps returning to a line from the charging papers, where he said "he needed help."

If it is the same guy, then I totally have a post-it with a poem on it from last Summer in front of Collins Pub. From a VAMPIRE.

When I saw the video I thought it might be him.
Here's a poem he wrote for me.
Justice for the weak
over the atrocity and martyrdom of 10,000
hours. To control with power the
noble dream of a celestine destiny
and place the missed place
onto the misplaced yet posited
pole infinite good onto the
axis of the life meant for
glory.

This is getting exploitative. I know the guy. He is very mentally ill, and is diagnosed as such. Would The Strangler [sic] make this much fun of him if his illness were AIDS or cancer? I would like to think not. Let it go. Other things are funny. This is not.

Shit, that poem sounds like the lyrics to a Hendrix song. Geez, you don't suppose he was a vampire too?

My name is Vladimir Lestat De St. augustine, My true name at birth is indeed "Vladimir Augustin", I am a musician and a poet, a psychology major student from Philadlephia, who ended up being stranded in Seattle for six years. I survived those hard times writting poems on the streets of seattle, Queen Anne, Pionneer Square, China Town, and Pike place market. I madeit in seattle with an art studio and my own apartment until one day someone from the Union Gospel Mission called the swat team on me and lied saying that I made a bomb threat. It was unfair because that was not the truth. I was indeed dressed weird because I am an artist, but I lost all that i worked for that year and spent a year in Jail. Now I am back in my Home town , Philadelphia, where I started over with a girl who loves me, Jamie Dougherty and her daughter, Still playing music and writting poems, just not on the streets anymore, my family is happy that i made it back... and the soulmate for whom i ended up in Seattle, Louise Osborne, doesn't pick up the phone any more. State of love and trust, and thank you to everyone from whom i found support in Seattle.
