 Moof

    moof

        Splack 
cryin like a river
tell it on the mountain
the crowds are forming
      kiss a bison 
    $10-30
Wear a feathered bonnet
    Like mesa verde
  or don't
     The cyclops knows all
          the oracle will take your hand 
               Baby Eats!
  



 

 Something's rotten in East St Louis

Hamlets on the watch
for the ghost of his dad
There's no little mermaid there
But the bbq is to die for

 I've got no life

so I keep banging away
at this Smith-Corona iPhone typewriter 
I should booze up 
  But uh no
     I need a new typewriter ribbon and
more reams of eggshell papyrus scroll
    I'm etching cuneiform in giant
stone obelisks with a man with a birds head
     holding baskets of some ancient stuff 
all very complicated and Brooklyn museum 
  Take the F train
I think the F
Oh F it
    Anyhoo we're talking Assyrian neighborhood
Down by the cheap Gilgamesh Restaurants 
  and hardware stores

  



 

 I got nothing

No how 
  No why
      no wherefore 
    no saintly sage
(Sagey Wagey the dog is a saint)
  no silly simple Simon le greed
Boris Badanov
  Etc 
      Etc
          Etc
still I stock the fridge
    Raspberries 
        Milk
             More raspberries 
                    More milk
Half pound of Chuck
      Etc
         Etc
            Etc
Walking
   Walkin 
       Walkin 
    To TJ's on the hill
past teenagers in school
     and old ladies with canes
Cars
     More cars
          More more cars
BEEEEEEEEEPPP
 
    

 Sleet

   and skeaze 

Der Blau Reiter 
Blau Angeles
  cutting waves of extreme volume
thru the city
    on this beautiful fall kinda windy day
WAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOO
  RRRRRRRRRRSSAAAAAARRRRFFFFFF
ah shaddap



 

 The purity of

  truth

  Is that 
a pomegranate 
Or a salt shaker
You've lost your gourd
Can't lose what you never had
   Muddy Waters truth
  Hambone on my ring finger
Ya'unnerstand
  Bukka on a train
     Frisco lines
  Hellhound on my trail
     Sold his soul 
to play that good
very long fingers
  and a popped eye
     Elmore James 
        with electricity 
           Candyman
 Normal 
  
   Medium
large
  Say 
Medium dollars
I'll do the decidin'
I'm the Decider
  Apple Decider
is it frosted?
   hard decider?
Apple smack?
  it's a Fall tradition
     with orange and black
    Falling leaves
They no longer burn the leaves
   I'm the decider
Smell that smoke
The smoke of burning fall leaves
  Buried in a pile is you
Hah!
Your autumn sweater
   plays a tune
Which only everyone can hear
   You in your autumn sweater

 Sometimes
 
you just gotta forge ahead
Without a care 
In the world///
   sometimes
it doesn't matter
              no matter what you think
   You center
    Of the panel 
   You who have doubts
      you 
   you
  yo
   Waking
      and sleep living
       wake me 
  when it's over
       I'm trying to climb
          a nasty pine tree
        so I can see the sky
         I'm trying to ride holding on
in a white jacket
      collar popped
        I'm trying to be myself
    in a world of centimes
     and gendarmes
     Merci
     I'm not trying that hard
 To be 
Or 
Not to be
      It's a giant burden
    so fudge it
    Place your bets 
      and step back
    Red 
    and black



 

 Center
 
aligned
steep 
   slobbery 
slope
     slipping
  sliding
              skiding 
       slooping 
    Mcpoop 
       Cerebellum III
       careering
     careening 
    Left
   Right
     lefty Lucy
     righty whitey
   time
      up
   You got a fly
     in yer ointment
     there a spy
    In yo jointment 
aching
    and breaking
So 
No
   Go
 Joe
  Leave it and come on home

     













 Night life

My stomach hurt
Old guy
I tried
The crowded venue set me off
Felt bad cuz I bailed on my friends 
Irish goodbye

 I worked the Union 76

in high school
how did I get that job?
No idea
Pump gas
Clean windshields 
Check tires and oil (if they ask)
I was sixteen and the owner was I think a couple years older
His dad had bought him the gas station cuz he was into cars
He had a racing car that may or may not have been street legal and Ford F-150 with what he called airplane tires
I got my buddy the night shift job
Sometimes I'd come in and we'd get stoned
We had a homemade bong made out of a honey bear plastic bottle
My friend said I guy came in with a shotgun looking for the owner
said the owner put oil in his brake lines and his daughter crashed
My friend said come back tomorrow he'll be here
 Crapped

   out
tryin'
    nuthin 
   look out 
   for Lelly
Or Nelly Mug
      A famous makeup artist
      Bye 
    
  The 
worked
life
   bring
  back 
     the 
    estuary 
     blues
      stinky
     mud 
      south of the canal
    we launched kayaks
      and saw dark 
     small 
   dolphins
 Crime
 
pays 
when you're stealing
sun block
                     I don't want to fry my face
       Stealing 
      stealing
         stealing
             

 Waiting for the mailman

and military jets are blazing away
over a beautiful sunny 70 degree
SF DAY
I feel
Let it be
lazy
Phil Spector produced day
WALL OF SOUND
and a little messy 
Tired 
black
    and 
        white
Wistful? 
   Nope
I dig a Pygmy?
    Something about that album tho
no GM making it "perfect"
  No one's making this day perfect
That's on me
