He said
I need a good long one
about nothing
and nothing is
something I'm good at
so I took the job
sent me over to Bakko County
to run the
wire
but I got into a fight
with a black operator and got fired
no matter that kinda work was
not my fortay
as the say
it wasn't that he was black
don't get me wrong
its just that he wasn't doin it right and he was
obnoxious and I aint gonna suffer
fools who do it wrong
later I heard he got fired and ended up in jail
for killing a dog
true story
anyways Bakko county is not where you want to
be without a job so I drove up north to
visit my cousin
but he was in jail too
for getting caught with a grow room
in the basement
some kids spied it thru the basement
window and told their parents
who immediately called the owner of the house
who called the cops
and now not only was he in jail but his wife
said they were getting evicted
damn! dark clouds, right?
I couldn't hardly leave my cousins wife in
such dire straits
and she did invite me to stay
I had no intention but sometimes
things just happen
so now my cousins in jail, he's getting evicted
and his wife run off with his cousin
sometimes life just kicks you when you're down

The Myth of Sy Philos a play in an unknown number of acts

2012-01-29T16:29:00.000-08:00

Act 1 An urban city street at night

Sy: (wearily) The load, the heavy, heavy load.
Dark one: Are you complaining again? You bought the thing, now carry it.
Sy: Buy the ticket, take the ride!
Jericho junior: Here, gimme that, I'll carry it!
Sy(turning away) NO , It's mine!
JJ: Jeez whatever
DO: Have you figured out what it's made of? Is it sisel? I think it's stuffed with sisel.
JJ: you just like saying sisel.
Sy: where are we going?
JJ: Um Doc's Clock?
DO: The Lone Palm?
SY: The Latin?
Stranger number one: Hey what is that thing?
DO: we think its a bumper.
S1: a bumper?
DO: yeah a bumper; you put it on the side of the boat so it doesnt scrape against the dock.
S1: Oh
Sy(wearily) it's a heavy, heavy load! we gotta get up that mountain!
JJ: shut up.
S1: Where did you get it?
JJ: He bought it at a store. see?(showing him price tag), $260
S1: wow
DO: he haggled.
Sy: I didn't haggle!
JJ: yes you did! You gave him a lower price.
DO: and he took it , immediately
Sy: He said it was less than he paid for it. If we haggled he would have come back with another price.
S1: well it's a cool thing. later!
all 3: Bye

It's too much

it's just a testing ground
I cant really expect much
but
ONE DAY

2. I'm feeling worn out- somethings got to give

3. I have a number of projects I'm working on

stupidity
what is that
when you
don't think
or when you think too much
maybe
lights go down on the theatre
a large woman appears and then disappears
a chevy cavalier pulls on to the stage
"Did somebody order a left handed pizza?"
the near sighted youth at the wheel asked the audience.
"Hey get out of here!" the backstage manager was
screaming. but too late the \\show had begun

Now I lay me down to sleep
how 's that go?

something something something something

there's a hole in my bucket dear Liza dear Liza

and the show had ended

"I really like that part with the pizza delivery guy." A man was saying to his wife.
"Are you hungry?"

They slipped into the all night diner.

the jukebox was playing Elvis Presley's It's Now Or Never.
"the famous date rape song." The man's wife remarked.

a boy was sitting at a nearby booth reading Death in Venice by Thomas Mann

'I'd like to go to Venice' the man thought to himself. Maybe a little "business trip" without the family, heh heh. Those Italian goddesses are really something.

the waitress was in the kitchen crying.

2012-01-23T21:07:00.000-08:00

J. Post Grimsley was eating dinner at the Yin Yang when the bear arrived and sat
at a nearby table.
'Now that's unusual.' Grimley thought to himself
He'd seen something similar in East Borneo. A giant sloth had taken to wearing english clothes and had been offering his services in the law. Most of his cases were summarily dismissed.
Quan took the bears order without hardly looking at him.
"Hundred year chicken, shrimp chow mein, two orders potstickers, Mongolian beef, sweet and sour pork and two large Tsingtaos. Is that everything?"
the bear pointed at the menu again.
"oh yes and the roast duck. velly good!"
the bear poured himself a glass of tea and tried to fish out some of the tea leaves.
"You should let the tea settle and you won't get those bits in your glass." Grimsley opined to the bear.
"And you should go fuck yourself." the bear replied.

2012-01-23T20:49:00.000-08:00

Klegmore Station
the train
pulls in
and a large black bear gets off
smoking a cigar and carrying
a tattered suitcase
"Where can i get some chinese food?" he asks the porter
who points toward the town as he flees into the station house

The bear takes a bicycle off the rack and pedals down the road avoiding the puddles.

2012-01-23T16:55:00.000-08:00

and yet
the epistolary prognosis
of a certain non
avoidable dissension
I'd scanned the pages
for hand written notes
found what looked like
an ice cream smudge
on page 231
the back cover was
torn
I noted all this in my report
the committee meeting
was delayed due
to an erroneous claim
by certain members
that the prefect had
been detained
I left the hall and wandered
that night for hours
until my breath wa svisible and my feet
ached
stopping at a late night cafe
I ordered an americano
and was greeted with a profound
boredom from
the wall

my thoughts went back to the notes
I had collected
would it be sufficient

I went to the prison but they said he had been transferred
to a the hulking convict ship in the port

sadly, I drank my americano and ate a bag of chips

2012-01-19T02:31:00.001-08:00

The captain looked through his
looking glass. Far to the stern he saw what the lookout was shouting about. A man on a raft. Frantically waving a piece of white cloth. They were hundreds of miles from any body of land.
"Hard astern, Mr. MacGregor!"
He bellowed the command.
The great ship moaned as the sails were set and reset. The fellow was still waving frantically unsure if the ship had spotted him or if they would rescue him. Then you could see it in his body , the realization the the ship was headed toward him- a kind of physical sigh went through his figure.
Once aboard he said his name was Davis Farnsworth. He had been aboard the the whaling ship Marie Souter out of Boston. She had gone down three weeks in a torrential typhoon. Farnsworth had been a midshipsman on his virgin cruise. He said several of his companions had survived but one by one they fell mad in the water and abandoned the raft for some delusional vision. Twice, he said, he had saved Tommy but the third time he lost him. This caused him a great weary sob.
"Okay, now that's enough- Dr Johnson, take Mr. Farnsworth below and see to him. Once he has rested and recovered we can hear more."
The Marie Souter was known to the captain. The ship was a notorious scow, ever in need of servicing and in constant disrepair due to the greed of it's company's owners, The Lance Group. She took only the worst, sailors who could not get work on other ships because of their previous failures. That Mr Farnsowrth said it was his virgin cruise, was to his advantage.

back in the night by the wet

a man was sweeping the sidewalk
coughing and humming sadly

The car door closed with
a smack
I really shouldn't be driving
he said as he gunned it up the hill
across the city the sun was rising

Clayton Befurcacio took the pistol out of the drawer. It was wrapped in an old cloth. He oiled the chamber, wiped it clean and ran the brush down the barrel. Loaded, it felt good. Heavy. He put the gun in the pocket of his coat and went out.
As he came around the corner he saw old Mrs. Lefkowitz. She had always been a nice woman. Kind and happy. He said hello to her and then turned and shot her dead. She fell on to the sidewalk and her blood spread across the concrete and into the gutter.
Clayton ran down the street and turned down the alley, got into his car and headed for the beach. He liked living in a beach community and the weather was beautiful for late December.

I'm not as think as you drunk Iam
in the bosom of our nation
like the water pipes are made of lead
and centurions are scratching their sandaled feet
burnt and and stoned
smoking some shit ass kine bud
and wanting to kill a few Gauls
just for a good work out
we'll pour over the topo maps
in our LL Bean finery
smiling and applying sunblock
trying to decide which gadgets we should
bring with us
but old Tom only has his hammock and two burritos
and his pipe of many colors
I'm just now getting used to the idea

Or,
if not we could always pack it up
and head to

conferring with an unspoken agreement
that tomorrow's regrets will not be today's deeds
or something like that.

with a whiskey sour

arrived in flurry of shaded
dark coats
at the
Hilton San Juan
earlier in the day
a street sweeper had been beaten
for leaving a dust bin near
the swimming pool
in the kitchen
the cooks
were involved in a laborious seventeen course meal preparation
for seven hundred guests
half of whom would be too drunk
to
remember what they had eaten
at the garrison Christoforo was polishing his boots

2011-12-11T16:40:00.000-08:00

and the invoices scattered
belligerently across
his wooden desk
and on the floor a coke can tipped
and spilled
while fingers at the keyboard
flashing on lit keys
with
zaps of lightning
and a head dizzy with
prescription
blood pressure medicines
ah the fate the beautiful fate
of strangers
but it was time for a coffee break

and you saw a man with an open
umbrella on a sunny day
who would you shoot?

Across the Marsh Siegfreid could see shapes moving in the early light.
He put the binoculars back in their case and stretched out.
"RUDY- where's the fucking coffee?!"

As the first light of the day came up over the marsh Siegfreid adjusted his rifle and and looked through the binoculars.
"Rudy, make coffee."
"Yes Cap'n."

containment. Surely that was the answer.
what the question was though escaped him
maybe that was the question - containing what escaped.
escaping from what contained?
clearly the two were inextricable
escape
contain
escape
contain
einhorn and

maybe this was a wormhole
but again how could he escape the wormhole?
escape
contain
the event horizon
the second law of thermodynamics
even some particles escape the gravity of
a black hole

perusal of recombinant metamorphasii
inherent in unpredicated transitory
de-evolutionary ambiguities
- such was the content of his days
flailing about, writing poetry in his head
while trying to fall asleep
(after hours of self induced insomnia)
Why,he thought,could he not be more like Robert Frost?
although, he had heard, he was afflicted with a
compulsive disorder that involved fence posts
and fudge marble ice cream.

the merchant of Tau
in his fortress of sand
burying his thoughts
beneath a wind
bleaching the fence
that
separates
the sea
and the sand
bleaching his thoughts
with red death
heroin hopes
and willfully
foregoing
a minute amount
of
hope
in the time machine
his sand clock ticking
and his memory wrung clean
kicking the acre of black boot
reminders
to stand at the vessel
to sing when spoken to
to sling a stone in Gabriels
face
and say is that scorpion for me
or you to
an already dead friend

2011-11-07T22:46:00.001-08:00

tempt me oh lord
to brave satan's
cool visage
when the sweat is pouring
from my brow
for I am lost in the city
seeking a book
that no one has written
and never will

but fate plays a merry game
of ring around the posey
and we can shop online
and still be calm and poised

The hither lands speak
for the ages
subdivisions and new malls
our pathways are blocked
now with Ford Taurus
and Lincoln Mercury

we use the lost gods
to sell cars
but we have found war
is affordable

I'm not sure how these things are related:
