I was poor and I worked at a bookstore

for like $5 an hour

I was dating a gal who dressed 

like Madonna in the eighties

(it was the eighties)

We went to see a band and we took a ton of mushrooms

and got super high

I got an idea in my head that Woody Allen

would help me with money!

I'd write a

Letter to Woody

like the Dylan song 

but not to Woody Guthrie

but later I forgot about the idea

because I was pretty sure 

it wouldn't work

 I ate an edible 

and drove around the city

it was a gorgeous sunny day

I listened to Jerry live on a cd in the car

the Presidio had some food trucks

so I stopped and got a Tikka Massala burrito

Unfortunately it was pretty crappy

Blecch!

 GO HOME NOW

STIFLING HAG!

shoot yer shoes 

fill your brain

with old movies

Forget this poem

It's crap

Let everything be

     GO ON NOW

    to Santa Cruz

      or Soquel

      drooping oaks

    what are they called 

Live Oak

        Let your guard down

For once in your fucking

Life

No one's out to get you

They could care less

about your blonde hair  

and your blue eyes 

and your degree in Fine Art

from the University of California

      snoops and  

OOPS!

                   I spent all the money

in some small town pharmacy

OOPS! 

                              Vitiffududuyud! Purdue body def ddy 

Huh?

Let's pack it up 

and move out boys!

      the world ain't waiting

         we can hide the loot 

in the boot

      Or your snoot 

      Joe Pepitone

 I'm waiting for 

A hole in the sky

a place to rest

I'd rather be a fat marmot

The end

 more malarkey?

yes of course

seemingly incapable of linear thought

I wander

I wager 

therefore I am?

Bah 

Bunch of hooey

 

 Sweat

       and nothing else

wash your xyz

and stay above the fault line

We all know who's responsible 

We can laugh about it 

we can smash aluminum cans

we can recycle 

We can watch HBO

we can eat Cheez-its

and drink Lagunitas

        Me

              Me

(Everybody else)

            Waiting on a cloud

           tears up

           at beautiful grey 

Waking to coffee

thank (god)

       and Colombia

                   What was that guys name?

                  Well, he had a donkey?

         A blanket

       and a handful of coffee beans

 The hole 

is not forensic 

the tip of the iceberg

a rosy dandelion

In your hair

You smile with carefree laughter

The sky opens 

Clouds believe you 

Time stops

and you wander into time

Cabinets creak

doors slam 

Shake hands and stare 

No more of that you think

No more of that

 Moving on

isn't happening

peace of mind ain't happening

so just stack the books

turn on the music

have a glass of red wine

and find the time to welcome 

all good feelings

Peace Love Understanding

What?

 

 

 I'm getting further away

this happens when you don't pay attention 

and just start something and rely on past notions

Something slips

Your foot goes off the pedal

the gears crunch 

Your brain stops giving a fuck

and you die

No you don't die

But maybe part of you died

And you get this crap

 

 Stooges R Us 

in Detroit gas 

Accomodations 

meaningless 

   attributes 

 Breakfast sky 

I'm a pancake 

with no syrup
