I moved

like a battered brain

No one paid attention

(from stationary 

To Thai restaurants)

It was starting to get cold

No more fall beautiful days 

Hell it was November 

I think I'd been pretty damn lucky

all things considered

but when the Congolese attacked 

There was nothing to be done

I blasted them back to 34th st

Then ran out of short ordnance

My basements sofa is pretty comfy

For right now anyway 

 

 I was 25

My first job in the big city. Corporate headquarters called me. 

I think they were in Kansas or somewhere.

"Umm, you've put Wavy Gravy as your third beneficiary. Is this some kind of joke?"

 

 

 Summoned 

By nothing 

By no one

No lights in my eyes

No shine

No shine away

No

No

No

But I got my taxes done

Went out for breakfast

Came back and took a nap

Now what?

 

 

Dead end road 

Surrounded by Pine Tree Forests 

Red Maple and White Birch

Climbing a Pine to the very top 

Hands got sticky - pine tar

New England 

Through the Robert Frost forest

To an appliance shop

Old washing machines

and dryers

Still snow surrounding them

In the middle of deep forest 

a circle of no trees

found an old felt hat

Elves circle

Elves felt hat 

A White 62 VW bug

Riding on the outside 

Graduate student driving

 

 

 

 California

Sunshine

Bright and motherfucking hot

A dry heat very dry

California chaparral 

70's Barracudas, Chevelles, SS Camaros, Toyotas, Datsuns, Dodge, Ford, Chevy

Chevy long bed fleetside baby blue

Three on the tree

Jack in the Box

McDonald's 

Dairy Queen

Teen burger w bacon

Site 300

Black lines all

Over the hills

At Carnegie Park

Dirt bike central

Corral Hollow Road to Tesla road

Oak trees by themselves 

In a field 

Cattle huddled underneath

for shade

Gals with pegged pants

Boys with a circle worn into their backpocket

Copenhagen 

"You're gonna get sheep sheared with that hair"

"They'll use the NAIR ON YOU!"

"Let's play Smear the queer"

Cowboy boots and rodeo buckles

Radiation Lab

US Government NO ENTRY

Scientists riding bikes to work on East Avenue

Little mirrors attached to horn rim glasses

Metal cuffs for pant leg

Sub Divisions houses rows old and new

Sunset

Spring Valley

Massout Maran Developer

Almond orchards

 

 Easter Sunday

I walked down to the bar in the Mission.

Had a double Hendricks and Tonic.

Met an interesting guy who grew up in South America. 

Ate some Vietnamese food and took an uber home.

It was a beautiful day weather wise.
