Green 

greenness enticed

Highway signs

   Look for Belleville

It's in your county

Smell the air

 Yesterday

is trying to break through

like 

  a knock on the door

    Tiny silver spoons

grandma collected

 Yaphet Kotto

   In a Bond movie

there are ways to gather

  innocent tribes like 

nothing see the sky

 He pocketed the gun

it was still warm 

Fatty lay on his side the blood pouring out 

of three holes

"Fucking asshole, I told him to knock it off. It's on him!"

He pulled his overcoat on and wiped down the glass he'd been drinking from. 

He opened the door with a piece of paper and walked out into the hall and down the stairs and out onto the street. 

It was cold he buttoned up his overcoat and didn't look back.

Tomorrow was Friday.

 Sleep now

sleep later

wandering the back alleys

of sleep- weird dreams-

You have to collect all this stuff 

but there's no place to put it - 

and there's more and more- why do I 

have these dreams- STUFF!

STUFF IT! but it's there, everywhere

even in your freaking dreams

more stuff

 We don't really get weather here

It's kind of in between everything- neither hot or

cold no snow barely rain so when we do get rain people freak out they get out their cameras - "We've got to film it! It's an ATMOSPHERIC RIVER!"

Appleton, WI

 

 I don't bang on a big typewriter

I just tap with my index finger 

    on my phone

   while laying in bed

   outside someone's banging on wood

  I guess they're working

   fucking shut up asshole!

  sun is blasting in here  

and there goes a siren 

that's a cop

  Now he's gone 

but the sun is still here

  I gotta get up

 Hypotheses 

zero 

   the witch's attic

but grandpa had a large 

   black die

and a remote control

  the things in his desk 

    were like magic -

  totemic

He had a heart attack in the Florida Keys

in Marathon

 Bright 

sunny day after

     the atmospheric torrent 

a little too bright

   walked my walk 

     got espresso

    and beef w broccoli

gave my leftovers to a guy on the sidewalk

  with a cardboard sign 

   worrying about my health 

Cuz I'm a loser

I should clean this room

FucknA

 Sleaze box

    hankering

pandering 

  to the least common

  denominator 

  Pray for 

      the Saturday specials

     Encased in jewels 

     of made up thoughts

   millions believe

     like a best seller

       fantasy

  dragons and dwarves

the Ketamine four

    blistering eye rolls

   and heads tilted

   billions on the line

      Let's play golf

 Aches & Pains

 

 The movement of time

was an illusion or

possibly an allusion but it

didn't really matter 

Finally the car was moved

 from one rainy spot to another

He didn't feel like walking in the rain

It just wasn't that romantic

so he put his shorts on 

and got back in bed

 A windy Cutlass

driving on 101 

A car hit the guard rail 

And shot across 3 lanes

Yikes 

Hope he's okay

Where are you going?

Mendocino

What are you gonna do?

Going to Dicks Place

Gonna drink?

Maybe

 The atmospheric river 

caused time to stop

  but I still had to move my car 

the problem was 

I forgot where I'd parked

I had a backpack full of groceries

  Where is it?!

  after walking concentric circles

I stumbled on it

   and I didn't need to move it

Good story huh?

 I threw up 

but that's nothing

Time moves on and

I got new sheets

It's pretty comfy 

But there's no newspaper headlines

Old man buys sheets!

News at 11

 A gasp from the crowd 

I wandered in

blood poured from his ear

Sometimes ya gotta take what you get

Other times might be good to flee

 

 I captured 

a frying pan dream

in icicles and 

brain fog like rainy atmospheric river canoes

made from birch bark and almond paste

we set course thru Algonquin forests

but half way we decided

let's not get scalped today

 What's all the hoopla?

Sirens are blasting

Fire? Who knows?

Off they go.

I got a headache.
