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

              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

 Thirteen thousand

thoughts on my shoulders

with wine

      and broken poems

       I'll start out in foggy mornings

        off to the Pacific Ocean 

I've climbed Lassen

and some other mountains

Bumpus Hell

     sulfur smell

      Yellow rocks 

        Black birds

 You spoke

before you 

Mumblety mumblety  

you parked / pegged

You're no Jack Kerouac 

 I hated everything

Mom dad cars ( no not cars)

Lotions aspirin pill bottles

other stuff too much to remember

Things in weird assemblages in museums

shoes fancy shoes white high heels

never criticize a woman's shoes

or you're a dead man

I learned this first hand

 Mirrors of cement

your eyes are bad 

Your brain tries

But no luck

So you just use sun block

and try to stay out of

The way

 

 Lazy

 days

 Stand to attention 

So what

     Look at the sky

    gray and maybe rain 

     find your shoes 

     in a pile

         time to go

 No matter

Just cryin in my beer

Lazin like a rich white dude

 Symptoms of such

   No matter 

      I need a planner

         But 

   But

 But 

     But

Butthead 

I'm a tumblin tumbleweed

Oooh eeeeeee

     get in

Go on

    Go forth

    Leave it alone

take it now for blah blah blah

       What color are your eyes?

I'll sleep on the Spanish Steps

      I'll Henry Miller that shootski

Pensiones in Montmartre 

   Clichy?

Cliche fledge that

  I'll go Cendrars one armed 

to Napoli where thieves and scoundrels

live in ancient wars with

    Ratty tapestries

and motor scooters

and abandoned kittens mewl 

in the rain

   Your passport was stolen 

So off to the consulate 

Took one look at us and actually said

Don't take candy from strangers

No lie

  

 

 2x 

nuthin

          is still not much

   so no matter

     I've placed my bet

on a long shot-

sucker bet

       they say

   but oh when they hit

                    Everybody will be jealous 

       Or not 

I don't know 

                  No one's paying attention

So

do whatever you want
