I got 

memories like you wouldn't believe

doing drugs in Korea

burning cars in the Marble Mountains

Getting lost in the snow in winter 

But mostly I'm just a boring old guy

eating angel hair pasta 

With broccoli and Parmesan cheese

I sit around and wait-

I wait for the street cleaners

So I can move my car

It's pretty exciting

Got to get that good spot!

Then maybe off to Bob's for 

A maple old fashioned

They're pretty fucking good

I quit heavy boozing

I was going at it pretty serious

Every night

The corner store people

Loved me

 Play on

   sweet Gaspar-in-roses

Wash the color

   from your hair

  stooges arise

     and ride the train

   from here to nowhere

watch the factory

  clocks tick

as you sleep

your comrade sleep

  You left her 

and stole her money

not so funny now

  living in a Toyota Camry

outside Akron

 

 You

  who strove for 

    whatever-ness

    Columbia House

    savings 

    Order 13 LP's

wearing a County Fair airbrushed t shirt of a bumblebee

or Ratfink 

Hot Rod!

   you shopped at JC Pennys with yer 

mom

   Once bought Hush Puppies

in the Livermore sun 

    science kids could swim

at the lab pool off East Ave

  Sandia (watermelon) was across the street

Men rode their bike to work

with little rear view mirrors

attached to their glasses frames

Fucking Nerds

Ah those were the days!

Hah not 

  It was hot and dry and boring

there's a reason we sought out drugs

 

 

 Ten thousand Trumps

    can't be right

brace for the cause

  Pay for eggs

     sympathize like Canadians

          ignore the folly

    hold the line

   But it's raining

  and cold

  but I got new shoes

   cuz my feet hurt

  and Pokemon Comic Book store

  T shirt

Aren't you cool?

  Move on out 

  stop at Valley Ford

On the way north

  get oysters

  And barbecue them 

On the deck

 Of your ex brother in laws house

  In the redwoods

 Reaching

the tributary of madness

water is pouring in

 Bodies lay

in your mind

Tsk tsk

  don't accept the basic answer

  Is it right?

   there are no answers sometimes 

     Is the shirt lemon colored?

      are your eyes deceiving you

        What day is it?

           Where did I park the car?

Stop asking stupid questions

and get to work

 (KG)

       

 

 

 Great March

    of stupid people

  under orange skies

  tepid rancid water

  and cheap beers

 Recalled Fritos 

   and slices of meat

  we will all perish 

  someday

But right now?

Fuck that 

 The time is now

Throws the bums out!

 

 Double dose duty

  In brand new white Tshirt 

weird dreams

  awake at 3 am

to the sound of rain

 Looking at nothing

 Suicide watch

    by the Tolkien-esque

situated in a barren land

  wearing a hooded gown 

  Sleaze and sly

  cradled in the arch

    of oak branches

   Sapped of strength and milkweed

cradled in crimes

and rundown plaster

  Like a dead steward 

  of narcissistic tendencies

    and an urge to lose oneself

 Arroz con

   pollo 

libertad 

   Are you bewildered

  repeatedly 

  by the  

Simon sez

  Rules

Oh silly nonsense

That's all I am

  Jokes jokes jokes

   (You're not doing nothing)

  Light a cig

 Sleep your 

   stars away

 take a pill

   take another 

 Put on an 8 track

 

 I gambled

with your mothers money

  But she was gone 

to be with her sisters

  You watched tv and laughed

  I came up short

    bluffing didn't work

     My hands trembled 

when I bluffed

so I had to give it up

any fool could read me

'He's bluffing' 

you could see it on their 

face

  so I had to quit

and go back to stealing 

Hubcaps

  

 Stream the dreams

    -kicking piles of stuff

sarsaparilla and leprechauns 

  Where's that pot of gold?

In our ass!

  Or your past-

   Blue jeans

with holes in the knees-

Mr Hilburn saw them

"Still got holes in your knees"

Some things just don't change-

F it, go on now

  play that song

How's it go?

C to Am

 

  

 What does it matter?

It matters how you feel I guess

  do you want to feel like shit?

Uh no

  but you had to play it until it 

played you 

      blah blah blah

don't get all Jack London on it

  and get all various South Seas

 ailments and cankers

 John Barleycorn

You try

   you try

  But sometimes it's like 

what the fuck?

But anyhoo

  Weathers nice

Wish you were here
