  to you
    and you
        and you

flight bite
  what happened last night
 drank maybe a little too much
 the manhattans
   were definitely
part of the
 "win late"
 strategy
  but falling down stairs
were not
  punching a Royal Mountie
  also
not
   escaping in a
tuctuc
 through the Swiss Alps
    also not
but
  could be
maybe

a loaded
 digression
spurred by
 countless
     cessations
  - staytry!

    but not the strip
mahalapoo!

no romeo
for the 
    weary
 staid
 perplexed
   anxious
whats the remedy
    i know
something
about
something/
no ee cummings
 

I saw myself
in my dream
 driving a gray van
 that just came out of the river
   and i got in
two me's
 and you were there
but you weren't drinking
  and you said
see
I'm not drinking

the mirror
 stood its path
by the phone call
from the olive oil man
  I got locked out twice
 there's something so dry
about the air out there

there were no reindeer
   but the horses stood and watched me
  I snickered to get their attention
 poor dirty horses
shy and curious

a man pulled up in a jeep on Christmas morning
while I was smoking
  "My friend is having a seizure. He's by the side of the road. I have no signal."
I called 911
 they transferred me
   I drove up to where the young man was
laying on the ground with a blanket
a bicyclist and his friend were helping him
 the fire truck arrived in about five minutes
with the ambulance right behind it
  "If you electrocute me I'll kill you."
said the man who was seizing up on the ground
to the fireman

It was kind of hazy out that day
It was a spare the air day

feeling
the cold
bite
 through
   the layers
of
  circus
circus
   faded
roulette
  tables-
  pumping in oxygen
with a head full
of
 whatever
    bets
are made-
I'm taking bets
on whether
 the chinese buffet
 causes an international incident
the Raiders 
can't do it
 the Steelers
   blew it
 the guy next to Kevin lost a thousand
dollars
  later we made up dialogue
 to a movie
with incredibly good looking
actors
Armie Hammer
   where's that baking soda?
laughing so hard
  this elevator
    is bullshit
        but fuck it

weird am dream about matt F
   going to whole foods to get girl at work
a model
some pastry
she hit her head and cut her eyebrow
 laying there
  consoling her
  they were tearing out the stairway
at the local shop (they wanted $31 for a pastry) and the guy was like- get out
  gamers!
 i guess we were playing some video game
  robert redford was drunk
and standing in traffic
  going what the hell
he was in jeffs van and he just got out
  second time he was driving and just got out
van rolled off driverless in traffic
told him i was going to call his lawyer cuz he needed help
  worried about ?tom? Valeri? got laid off after someone else went
to see
and she was all like doesn't seem like YOU'RE having any problems
you're smoking at work and drinking
me:what?!
  me: hey i'm just worried about you
 she: yeah more like worried about YOU
anyway walking to whole foods but at night and see
Matt F in really muddy, dirty overalls
working construction
  and we talk
then talking to his friend
  me: matt's not playing trombone anymore? he should be playing and teaching
 friend: yeah i'm glad. I don't like jazz
describing 16 year birthday excursion to the movies to see
x or r rated comedies
 with his parents
*Everything you always wanted to know about sex
 &  Candid Camera sex movie-"What Do You Say to a Naked Lady"
but Matt's disappeared - he went back to work
making digital commercial pictures
on computers but sitting on the sidewalk
Okay I got the drips right
 

 

the swaying
protagonist
      was lieing
to himself again
he really wasn't that
bad looking

he said he got
Omar Sharifed last night
but the proof
was in the dinner jacket
   what did he mean?
your guess is probably wrong
   never trust your last instinct
 some people passing by said
     Peter O'Toole was skipping
  but they also thought the photo
was Hugh Hefner
  Wrong!
        

the grand mythologies
   of our times
   involve # 2
  pencils
     or F
    the swaying capriciousness
       of rabbit ears
 the hibernating colonists
   of reason
   step forward
into the light
    there is no requirement
      except
acknowledgement
of the arc
  but the grand
mystery
of nature
surely
 that,
no, not even
   nature is to be broken
like a horse and
   saddled
      again
for there's work
needs doing
   the devils handiwork
   is in idle hands
steel
 and lumber
 hogs
   and
silver
   give us this day
      our hubris
to succor
 our righteousness
   it says
    so
 
     
          
      

schnords
and fjords
    boards
and
  gourds
 ryhmin
like hymen
 sully
like sully
 land that plane!
  it's
the pits
mr schmitts
   it's the fits
 you gimme
now gits
 your time has come
its miller time
 say
good bye
to the high life
kaputnik!
