Alien ships?

Not on this planet

Fuckstick

 On the eve 

Tomorrows another day

They say 

But we are the future

And what do we know?

 A quiescent montauk 

Driving looking for a place

To get a sandwich

 A protracted delivery

Babies were born to the 2nd Sun

The sky was the color of blood

Artichoke hearts filled their mouths

We the People

Know the best!

 I had a dream

It was round and full of fat

It had eyes like an octopus

The reams of forgiveness were not in the Vatican

They were in shoes in Paris

If this makes sense call now!

Operators are standing by

 You should have kept drinking

You'd be a tightrope walker by now

Caressing the shoulders

Breathing new life into a forgotten age

Walking the streets of Des Moines

Your clothes would be torn from your body

By hyenas

With names like Orange Julius

Or Cherries Jubilee

Laughing 

There would be a safari with

Karen Von Blixen

No managers would be requested

And you would fly over Africa

By instruments

Below not a single light

Except a fire by the Masai warriors

Dressed to the nines

And dancing

Robert Redford would be dressed 

In a shirt

You can't buy

And my mom would get mad

At what the cashier said 

At the supermarket 

Things would be stolen

From Sprouse-Reitz

In our 13 year old bicycle rides

I think you took a windbreaker

 Der Brofuss 

Into the dark woods

With a machine gun

Seeing salamanders

And rotting wood

The smell of damp

Where am I?

Then the bullets rang out 

And blood covered the ground

And soaked in

Life goes on

Paintings get painted 

The apple is green

The apple is red 

Hey nice apple!

How come her face is green?

The mercury checked the news

Another day

Stocks were down

Yesterday they were up

More cloudy weather today

Disasters in parts of the world

Mercury thought 

What's for lunch?

 

 Sleep like cheese

Said the Moon

Wensleydale or Muenster

We watched Time 

Dressed in blue bonnet 

Coat and Tails

Until it rotted

 Pi played a game

Of prime numbers

On the Moon

Until we were bored

And feel asleep

 There were no three ways

The Genie told me

"Two wishes is what you get."

 The Moon's effigy

Was recalcitrant 

It was sorry it told them

It was made of cheese

 Pong

We played Pong

In a pizza parlor 

After a little league game

The coach was buying pizza and cokes

If we knew what Pong was the first expression of

I'm not sure what we would have done 

Except play 

And have fun! 

 If I were Richard Brautigan's son

If I were Richard Brautigan's son

I'd start each day with umbrellas in typewriters

In seventies San Francisco 

Near the Art Institute

I'd wear a shiny vinyl overcoat

And be photographed with a girl in a SF location

For my next book

Or maybe she would

I don't know

I'm not Richard Brautigan's son

So this is all just conjecture

BUT

If I were

Well, never mind.

 The drinking

The drinking is for the drinkers

A lift a hoist an ambulance ride

    -Boise, ID 2006

 Joyeux Century

Deliver me from the wrath of Time!

Sweet berries and Trees!

Mark the day with acorns and squirrels

Forsake the news as it is shit!

People being people is hardly ever a noteworthy thing.

 The cream of finagling 

Dreamt a con for the ages 

One for one one for me

Or something like that 

The cream stayed in a cheap hotel in Barstow

The door handle broke off after he shut the door and he was locked in

He climbed out the window

He went to the managers office and explained the situation

The manager came up and put the screen back on the window

"All done" he said in a think Hindu accent.

"Hey NO!"

 Jeez

Jeez I felt shitty this morning

I guess I was hungover

I needed to move the car by noon but

I was so anxious about the car even though

I had like four hours to move it
