 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 She became fantastically well known

Her picture was in the paper

Every day for weeks

She started to think weird thoughts

Who am I?

Her daddy was a very wealthy newspaper publisher.

But who was she?

And Why were people going hungry while

Others ate at Chez Panisse?

Life wasn't fair. 

TANIA LIVES!

 

 Say what you will

No matter

No one gives a fuck

Or some do

Sometimes

Don't pretend 

Just cause you never do

Or always 

Do you always pretend

Is that what you are

Pretend?

I'm not 

No way

No fucking way

 

 

 Her life was fine until she was kidnapped

They kept her in a closet for weeks

and slowly worked on her mind

She misses strawberries and burritos

Her kidnappers scare her

They might kill her 

and she hates her socks

 Tania is hiding out

In Big Sur

The Crashing of the waves never stops

The group have a cabin near Tassajara

They eat rice and steaks

and plan their next robbery

Tania falls asleep to voices 

arguing

 Stupid casualties

of fire

and Kalashnikovs

Indigestion

Heartache

Wet wool

Tv works though

Bullwinkle meets

Boris Badanov

Yawn

The cow moos in the dark

The chickens are gone 

So are the pigs

Barley and milk

for breakfast
