I've lost myself

in another round 

of self survival

beating my chest

thumping my head

Walking and walking 

Excedrin and Eplerenone 

I toured and trounced the muddy ways

of ditches and alleys of boredom and sadness

I tried and tried but it's hardly relevant

I'll just give it away and let the wind carry me

Where it will 

 

 SMOOTH

URSELF

             

Take a break

   GIVE IT A SHOT

IN TIMES 

LEAVE IT TO NO ONE    

don't fret about nuthin

Dumbass

EXCORIATE 

What dat?

          smooch

   Smoochie day

   

    

 Rainy day vote day

    take your cheat sheet

take yer umbrella

  get it done

   Ya vote'

 get yer sticker

   wear it proud

   They say 

Politics is the entertainment division of the 

Military industrial complex

  Ok

 Who do you want to be entertained by?

 

 Penrose said 

    this

Penrose said

   that

Penrose knows 

  the whys and wherefo's 

Penrose steals

  a glance 

    at heels 

 and a Maserati

Penrose tries

to get up in the morning

Penrose thinks 

  of a story

  not about you 

not about me 

   But about the 

ladies dancing in the streets

in his hometown 

 Parallax

  alternate 

Universe

    gravity 

 Leaks 

   Cause 

       black holes 

     Penrose 

said

but 

 proof

just a theory

Like a turtles dreams

or used car dealers

 gloomy

     Monday 

     sinking

                          with bacon & eggs

                          and buttery toast 

   the ladies

   are busy 

    riding bikes

     and playing croquet 

in the East Bay

 

 What's 

         loose

and cookin

Buy write

      words 

           towirds

                birds

    Bluebonic 

       plague 

and the African 

diseases 

   Tse 

      tse

   Lao Tse flyby

casual Tangiers Tanguy

     the machine that destroys itself

In NYC

  cookin 

  and lookin 

  buh byes

     Weren't for you

         you stood on solid ground

            You knew what's what

   in the lost casbah

  call to prayer

 You drank the drinks

Spanked the Sphinx

A ladies head on a lions body

   she lost a shoe 

in another day

   wore makeup

for cats 

  and papyrus letters

Outlining how much beer

   and you didn't even pay attention 

 I've 

   broken 

   the patttern 

      the fall back

    started with mouse chewing

I thought but it was the

    rain outside

I've 

 I've

 I've

Got to stop

Got to go

Say goodby

Say hello

    To whats become of me

and cows and hills and trees

La dee dah dee dee

 Sunlight

in the sky

It's another day

same stuff 

    same   

       same 

          same

     I never see stars

       in the city

           

 Moving

   sloth like

Actually no not moving

sedentary and sinking in to the ground

  the worms are claiming me

   The dirt smells fresh and clean 

compared to what I've been through

  the sullen looks

and sarcastic snides

Laughter

    and coffee

What did I do to deserve this?

   no good deed etc

       etc

              Extra strength excedrin 

ploughing the furrows 

of humanity 

  Echelons of animal behavior

in the guise of civilization 

Blah 

    Blah 

        Blah

The merry ways go on

    Drinks

  Dancing

  Dessert 

Running boards

        aardvarks

And pantaloons

   Comic cartoon pain

And concentration camps 

 elastic 

     Memory

stole 

Who knows 

 and pipe cleaners

snow shovel erasure

    Sister shoes found in spring 

      buried in the mud

      Jane eats dirt
