He said
I need a good long one
about nothing
and nothing is
something I'm good at
so I took the job
sent me over to Bakko County
to run the
wire
but I got into a fight
with a black operator and got fired
no matter that kinda work was
not my fortay
as the say
it wasn't that he was black
don't get me wrong
its just that he wasn't doin it right and he was
obnoxious and I aint gonna suffer
fools who do it wrong
later I heard he got fired and ended up in jail
for killing a dog
true story
anyways Bakko county is not where you want to
be without a job so I drove up north to
visit my cousin
but he was in jail too
for getting caught with a grow room
in the basement
some kids spied it thru the basement
window and told their parents
who immediately called the owner of the house
who called the cops
and now not only was he in jail but his wife
said they were getting evicted
damn! dark clouds, right?
I couldn't hardly leave my cousins wife in
such dire straits
and she did invite me to stay
I had no intention but sometimes
things just happen
so now my cousins in jail, he's getting evicted
and his wife run off with his cousin
sometimes life just kicks you when you're down

The Myth of Sy Philos a play in an unknown number of acts
Act 1 An urban city street at night
Sy: (wearily) The load, the heavy, heavy load.
Dark one: Are you complaining again? You bought the thing, now carry it.
Sy: Buy the ticket, take the ride!
Jericho junior: Here, gimme that, I'll carry it!
Sy(turning away) NO , It's mine!
JJ: Jeez whatever
DO: Have you figured out what it's made of? Is it sisel? I think it's stuffed with sisel.
JJ: you just like saying sisel.
Sy: where are we going?
JJ: Um Doc's Clock?
DO: The Lone Palm?
SY: The Latin?
Stranger number one: Hey what is that thing?
DO: we think its a bumper.
S1: a bumper?
DO: yeah a bumper; you put it on the side of the boat so it doesnt scrape against the dock.
S1: Oh
Sy(wearily) it's a heavy, heavy load! we gotta get up that mountain!
JJ: shut up.
S1: Where did you get it?
JJ: He bought it at a store. see?(showing him price tag), $260
S1: wow
DO: he haggled.
Sy: I didn't haggle!
JJ: yes you did! You gave him a lower price.
DO: and he took it , immediately
Sy: He said it was less than he paid for it. If we haggled he would have come back with another price.
S1: well it's a cool thing. later!

what is that
when you
don't think
or when you think too much
maybe
lights go down on the theatre
a large woman appears and then disappears
a chevy cavalier pulls on to the stage
"Did somebody order a left handed pizza?"
the near sighted youth at the wheel asked the audience.
"Hey get out of here!" the backstage manager was
screaming. but too late the \\show had begun
Now I lay me down to sleep
how 's that go?
something something something something
there's a hole in my bucket dear Liza dear Liza
and the show had ended
"I really like that part with the pizza delivery guy." A man was saying to his wife.
"Are you hungry?"
They slipped into the all night diner.
the jukebox was playing Elvis Presley's It's Now Or Never.
"the famous date rape song." The man's wife remarked.
a boy was sitting at a nearby booth reading Death in Venice by Thomas Mann
'I'd like to go to Venice' the man thought to himself. Maybe a little "business trip" without the family, heh heh. Those Italian goddesses are really something.
the waitress was in the kitchen crying.

J. Post Grimsley was eating dinner at the Yin Yang when the bear arrived and sat
at a nearby table.
'Now that's unusual.' Grimley thought to himself
He'd seen something similar in East Borneo. A giant sloth had taken to wearing english clothes and had been offering his services in the law. Most of his cases were summarily dismissed.
Quan took the bears order without hardly looking at him.
"Hundred year chicken, shrimp chow mein, two orders potstickers, Mongolian beef, sweet and sour pork and two large Tsingtaos. Is that everything?"
the bear pointed at the menu again.
"oh yes and the roast duck. velly good!"
the bear poured himself a glass of tea and tried to fish out some of the tea leaves.
"You should let the tea settle and you won't get those bits in your glass." Grimsley opined to the bear.
"And you should go fuck yourself." the bear replied.

Klegmore Station
the train
pulls in
and a large black bear gets off
smoking a cigar and carrying
a tattered suitcase
"Where can i get some chinese food?" he asks the porter
who points toward the town as he flees into the station house
The bear takes a bicycle off the rack and pedals down the road avoiding the puddles.

drive car to Oregon
try to drive on to beach
get stuck in sand
play Blood on the Tracks
while smoking pot
in the rain

what the dickens
and yet
the epistolary prognosis
of a certain non
avoidable dissension
I'd scanned the pages
for hand written notes
found what looked like
an ice cream smudge
on page 231
the back cover was
torn
I noted all this in my report
the committee meeting
was delayed due
to an erroneous claim
by certain members
that the prefect had
been detained
I left the hall and wandered
that night for hours
until my breath wa svisible and my feet
ached
stopping at a late night cafe
I ordered an americano
and was greeted with a profound
boredom from
the wall
my thoughts went back to the notes
I had collected
would it be sufficient
I went to the prison but they said he had been transferred
to a the hulking convict ship in the port
sadly, I drank my americano and ate a bag of chips

oh poesy

bright bright poesy
of whisky and rye
and april showers
bring may towers
as the hedge row
doth sway in lucid
time
and the excessive partition is a broke wooden
wall between the here and the now
a black hole of forgetfullness
as chocolate will become
in vested green and purple
have you nothing better to do?

oh old Umass
Boris Becker
was Bjorn again
locked down energy
in bed and in the night's
eye
foghorns sleep walking
in torn sheets
bouts of archery on green fields
of tender dystopic myopia
claiming the win as the cars
still race
unshaved and drinking coffee
waiting for a mountain range
and a specific yeti like emotion
go despondent one leave this house
find your way alone
be at one with the almighty be still
line the pockets
with foreign finances
glancing toward the newspaper
as the plane prepares to take off
its last pale under things
sweet breath of cologne
the mirror was a window she sat quite alone
"Rosemary"

focal vectors and the imprisoned
thief
is weary of days
such as these - days of remembrance
days of sushi lunches
days of typewriter memos
days of martini lunches
days of I am not a crook
and yet more days of dogs
and al pacino and
flights to Montana
what day is it?
the day of reckoning
the day of the dead
the daylight savings & loan
the daybreak car alarm
and on and on and end I'm
not talking at you
are you thinking, Boog Powell?

from the in-n-out Burger

The captain looked through his
looking glass. Far to the stern he saw what the lookout was shouting about. A man on a raft. Frantically waving a piece of white cloth. They were hundreds of miles from any body of land.
"Hard astern, Mr. MacGregor!"
He bellowed the command.
The great ship moaned as the sails were set and reset. The fellow was still waving frantically unsure if the ship had spotted him or if they would rescue him. Then you could see it in his body , the realization the the ship was headed toward him- a kind of physical sigh went through his figure.
Once aboard he said his name was Davis Farnsworth. He had been aboard the the whaling ship Marie Souter out of Boston. She had gone down three weeks in a torrential typhoon. Farnsworth had been a midshipsman on his virgin cruise. He said several of his companions had survived but one by one they fell mad in the water and abandoned the raft for some delusional vision. Twice, he said, he had saved Tommy but the third time he lost him. This caused him a great weary sob.
"Okay, now that's enough- Dr Johnson, take Mr. Farnsworth below and see to him. Once he has rested and recovered we can hear more."
The Marie Souter was known to the captain. The ship was a notorious scow, ever in need of servicing and in constant disrepair due to the greed of it's company's owners, The Lance Group. She took only the worst, sailors who could not get work on other ships because of their previous failures. That Mr Farnsowrth said it was his virgin cruise, was to his advantage.

Overheard on xmas eve

Girl 1: Oh, he's cute but he's married.
Girl 2: Married, schmarried.
(in the Mission)
Older white gay man to mexican fellow:

toward the back of the sea
he placed an empty
boldfaced lie
righting the ships
and calling for
a glass of vodka
on the wall was a poster
from a sale of
indistinguished variables
a meagre trove
of unknowns
call me call me she said
and he said I will!
back in the night by the wet
cobblestones
a man was sweeping the sidewalk
coughing and humming sadly
The car door closed with
a smack
I really shouldn't be driving
he said as he gunned it up the hill
across the city the sun was rising
baroom baroom
oh non self effacing
military ceremony
for the past
and the memory
of the past
revel now!
she sighed
I'm busted... I've got ashes in
my ears
my feet
... my feet
are tired
and my finger is bleeding
somehow
I don't know
let's ride to the beach and sing
songs of Jack Guthrie
and Oklahoma
and wear old pants
and behave generally much kinder
to people
