 I lie in bed 

Whoopty floopty
Waves of petulant feelings 
I know you could care less
Say something interesting 
Touching
Funny 
Overly comedically angry
not this self analysis hooey
My mother never beat me
Maybe she should have
Whack 
Clean your room!
Whack 
Stop banging the house with that tennis ball!
Whack
Don't touch your sisters glass horses!
Whack
Fuck those stupid glass horses
You shouldn't fight if you live in glass horses
and it's the Wildcats not the Trojans!

 



 Creature

No
In a blur
In a frozen reality
Mebbe not froze, 
              I got the window
       open 
     heater on
         fan on
    two comforters 
     and a blanket
Exciting huh?
      I'm getting to the realization there's no
place like working out hah
    

 The outlash of sometimes


Sometimes

breathes in everyone
everyone with half a noodle 
   
running it up the maypole
     ruining your mothers drapes
        Murdering the plastic flamingos 
with sheer profundity
  and backwards reason

 try as you might
There's no hope
Unleash your inner wisdom
Your outer one ain't cutting it

 I went and visited an old friend 

she didn't look too good she'd 
gotten out of a 30 day rehab and she was drinking again
She said she felt horrible until she got the first drink
Both her and her bf were unemployed. She lost her job at the EPA and he was self employed working for wineries.
Wineries are tanking right now, she said, read any newspaper. She played piano and had a couple records out but nothing that made any money. 
She said after the next two gigs she was going to the hospital for a kind of hospital rehab. I didn't ask. 
She said her eightyfive year old parents were riding a three wheeled motorcycle to South Dakota. 


 



 

 Hobbits on acid

   "I can't feel my feet"
"Do we have any Allman Brothers?"
    "We're not sleeping on a waterbed"
   "Gandalf was an asshole"
    "I think we're invisible!"
"What if the Narnia dudes come by?"
   "Flying around on dragons? 
         Who does that?"
"Let's go hangout with Orcs. They're cool"

The 

grey 
summer
     is 
     back
   Samuel 
Clemens
    didn't 
know 
How
good
he had it
 

 There's no hope

Until there is 
sometimes things work
Lefty loosey 
    The Gods are watching
but they don't give a shit
   round up your goats
pack up yr Coach luggage
   How's the weather in Sardinia?
Hot?
The goats will like that

 I can't stop 

The photos
My camera is black and aquamarine 
And plastic
I dropped it and the lens fell off 
I put it back on
It snapped right into place
Kinda blurry 
Not really sharp reticulation
Kind of BLACK AND WHITE
IMPRESSIONISM!
Suck it CLAUDE MONET!

 The mishmash of Peruvian mindflakes

is everywhere again 
   again 
      again
    yes 
     stupid 
   what can you do

no 
          steal
Some French dressing
      give it to the cat called Kismet
he wants to engage
     but he's shy
or maybe it's a she
   I never know 
       They use no
pronouns

 I forgot

The meaning of Life
I think during a concert at the Oakland Coliseum 
it wasn't yesterday but it seems like it
I saw some people I knew 
We said hello

 I lost my identity

I don't know who I am
so I'm just making it up
I changed my hair color
got my teeth done
bought all new clothes
Got a late model used luxury car
Fuck em
They can't tell me who I am

 I've lost the thread

but it's no matter
I have drugs 
They'll keep me going
My friends aren't friendly
but they're still my friends 
Sometimes that's all you can ask for
