 At the Chinese restaurant 

I had Mongoloid Beef
It was so mentally challenged I was hungry an hour later. 

 I tried the pinhole

   pinhead uses pinhole
No Zippy here 
  pinhole on East Avenue 
Walking to his shack on Greenville
He scared the crap out of me
They burned his shack down
Because of all the rats

 funnel vision

    wracked and twerped
by every day wonder bread 
realities
Reaching for that golden ring
but you're on a merry go round
ticket purchased 
 Buy the ticket take the ride
   and the plastic tigers aren't smiling 
and the ostriches
don't look merry 
   sinister go round
     as you laugh and spin
   Round and round
round and round
  We all fall down

  Crumpin 

  my socks are clean
got no words
no time
   for your nonsensical misgivings 
Adolph Netanyahu 
   Who's been Gaza'd
bulldozers R Us 
Lebensraum
   they cleared Eastern Europe 
   took all their food 
      all their livestock
        Those they didn't kill 
   starved
and they are impervious to 
Irony
    the Irony Cross
       thieves hill
The place of the skull
       There you go again

 Betty White-Ford

drove her white 2025 Ford F-150 with tinted windows to her driveway and remotely unlocked the gate. She and her husband lived nine miles out of town. Their nearest neighbors were a mile away. The hills surrounding their 2500 sq ft home were bare except an occasional lonesome  tree and were lined from top to bottom with the tracks of cattle raised there for the last two hundred years.
'Who the fuck is that?'
Parked next to her driveway was a grey sedan and a man was standing near it. 
'What the fuck is he doing?'
She sat in the truck looking at him. There was nothing around them for miles so it was unusual and alarming to have someone parked next to her driveway. With her tinted windows the man couldn't see her. She rolled down her drivers side window. The man was on the other side. 
"HEY! What are you doing?"
The man held up a camera. 
"I'm taking pictures!"
"You're parked in my driveway. I want you to move."
"I'm not blocking your driveway."
"I don't want you here. This is my driveway. It's my PRIVATE PROPERTY. I want you to leave!"
She'd pulled a 9mm out of her purse and released the safety. 
The man just stared but he couldn't see her. 
"Why you gotta be so mean?! What do you get by being so mean?"
She didn't reply. She pulled in through her gate and shut the gate behind her. 
"All right just go on home now. Keep being mean and see what that gets you in life."
The man walked away from his car and was taking pictures. She sat where she was and watched him. He took several photos of the hills and then got back in his car and just sat there. 
She drove up the long driveway and stopped and she could still see him sitting there. 
'What is that motherfucker doing?!!'
She drove on up to the house out of sight of the car but she could still see him through the gate camera. He hadn't moved. 
Four or five minutes passed and then he drove off towards the pass.

w Charlie
  he's so happy to be out!
Loves his walks!
Sniffing and peeing certain plants and fences
   the birds down the hill are swooping and 
darting about chasing each other 
  springing out of piles of gathered deadwood 
Flying into the trees
  The fog causes the trees to drip like rain
and below them the grass 
is green and bursting 
    this is CALIFORNIA in early fall!?
GRASS IS DRY AND WITHERED!
  not here Fog Patrol
Keep movin!
   on the trail
back to the second half
  roads and yards and cars and workers

     with a fin
like a shark table 
  at the beach 
snark
Snark
 Snarkel 
Catch a snobster 
   boil him in scalding water
    Snootster 
Bootster 
BAM!
   The Snark Table tabla 
      The remedy is in Jersey City
          an Indian restaurants tandoori chicken
              dried and burnt and 
     delicious 

 For a friends 15th birthday 

He got his parents to take us to see a couple 
R rated films at a movie theater in the next town over.
The films were 'What Do You Say To A Naked Lady"
  -basically Candid Camera with nudity
and 'Everything You Always wanted to know about Sex (but were afraid to ask)'
After about ten minutes of the first movie the parents told us they were going to wait in the car. 
?!!

 The wilds 

  of nowhere
a decommissioned nuclear plant
  giant silver domes like a fifties movie
in the middle of nowhere
a whole valley of nothing
dried grass and cow pies
   giant pylons
  transporting thousand of volts watts ? Electricity 
A rotting house and a barn half fallen over 
   a broken ceramic goats head
broken sign for an old redevelopment

 We went to a party at a friends house

His parents were gone.
They lived on Morgan Territory Road surrounded by bare sun baked hills and nary a tree for miles. 
At some point the road thinned to almost a single lane weaving on the edge of the cliffs, overlooking the hills and the entire valley. 
One guy would take a joint out of a giant bowl light it and then pass it. Pretty soon everyone had a joint. There were no girls at the party. We listened to an Emerson, Lake and Pakmers album called Tarkus about a giant machine tank armadillo battling flying dinosaur birds. 

 We drove thru Niles Canyon

In 1975 
in a '64 Chevy Impala 
the younger brothers 
stoned like never before
Free Bird was blasting on the eight track
"His fingers! Listen to his fingers!"
We didn't see the canyon lady 
but it was day light

 Early jazz 

on your breakfast plate
Rhyme it 
   Shoo it
      Sweet po tootie washing machine
   rhyme it 
King Oliver
    You'll outlive her
  Scrooby doobie fragilistic
   Devils mountain
in the backyard
  Your back is causing weird self flagellation work dreams
  Throopty fjoop 
Charlie sleeping at your feet
    Two sleeping-bag night
   (Cry the neighbor banging at the back window)
What do you want?
   "Got any doggie poop bags?"

 Climbing up Mt Doom

is a daily exercise
Sam Ganges your way to a One Ring jeweler 
Elves are very good looking but not to be trusted
What do hobbits eat at Passover?
Unelvened bread!
Thanks! you've been great -I'll be two weeks at the Mirkwood Casino starting Thursday. Tom Bombadil will be the opening act.
