 You wear

Berries and shrouds of spider web
Mixed w manzanita branches
and you forget your past post-Harvest King
Ravens remember though
  and they'll advise on a transactional basis 
Leave them a trail of your wanton indiscretions 
   and some cheese and bits of bread and a pool of water

 

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You are about to experience a rebirth -- about to be given another chance, a new lease on life.
You have persevered, gone the distance through an entire cycle -- through the Spring of hope or new passion, through a Summer of growth and building, only to be sacrificed like the archetypal Harvest King at the Autumn reaping.
You lie dormant like seed beneath Winter snows now, healing and absorbing new energies in preparation for the new young Spring coming shortly to your life.

 Poof

you stink
clap for the trees
You armpits smell
Never used to not like oh well
    Poof
       Who are you?
      Throw the I Ching
-the question is
What's the question?
     POOF!
     what is BeBop?
How should I go about dying?
Madly  
  Nah
  The wallpaper's gotta go?
Wear those new shorts
And compression socks 
  And the thunders river is never clouded
by the building of the ships




 






 

 spiral jetty

jettison earth
all pragmatic normality
in direct conflict with nature
Man is not part of nature
An abberation, pox perplexus ad infinitum
Ad nauseum
Sic
Wicked
Ma
Retards
Can't pahk the cah 


 


 


 


 

 Casual enmity

(no catfish)
sullen 
rainy day
  hiked 
and broke hurry hurry
Lawyers are calling
Money money money
(Still no catfish
told the tale of meeting grape pickers son
at the creek off Mines Rd. 
He didnt speak English
We hung out
I shared my lunch w him 
rode my bike home

 I traveled catfish dreams

remote and windswept archipelagos
named for early renaissance painters
the catfish particularly liked that one guy
whose paintings all look like underground comic novellas
Giotto too 
they talked of Padua and Mantua
and grottos of crystalline geodes
Lightning storms too figured in their regular conversations 
It was a fun time but tiring

 I dreamt I was a catfish

Swimming in the water near Boca Raton
It was a dumb dream until I was caught and 
batter fried.

 I capsized near Saipan

Local fisherman pulled me from the ocean
And gave me a 7up
Later I met a girl
Named Joyce
