There was a face

Of a witch

She rode a bike

And took your dog

Toto!

But she was just a sad spinster bitch

Fuck her!

 I delved deep into

The tube across the bay

Through currents of rippling water 

Around large rocks 

 I HAD a duream 

Oncet uponk a terime!

There was a lovely child with thoughts of who 

She was

    A wolf in grandmas clothes couldn't fool her

Her basket held a .357 magnum

And blew the the wolf past the piggies house!

 San Francisco! In the streets!

 Aki is

Kaurismaki!

Look to the south 

See the workers jumpsuit

And the woman selling something

Don't worry though

 Movies are second best. 

We all live in the world.

 There were no b&w movies. The stars 

We're all in color. Your dream were b&w.

 You were a star! But stars blow up!

But it takes awhile. Like a Brazilian years

 Should I come over tomorrow? No

I'm too dtmrumk

 

 

 Temperate meanderers were coated in grime. Their flowers were blue and yellow with spots of orange. A large sign around their necks described them as they once were. 

"He was a bright eyed lad full of hope and vigor."

"Her parents never had much hope for her but she ignored them and was quite smart and funny"

"He was a pig nosed creature who annoyed pretty much everyone"

"He was so self confident and self centered that there was no doubt great things lay ahead"

 I guess I pooped out last night. Or as my alternate self said all shit poops out! 

The title of a nothing something said by by words of the translatable coniferous embargo leisure stroll along the banks of a salty river named karaukaswaknee. Many beheaded individuals who died from reading Cormac McCarthy books bodies were strewn about the clay and dried sage. 

 

 I like to paint and I like to take photos and I like to play music. I like making stuff. People I'm not so good with. Relationships haven't really worked out, mostly because of me and my issues. There's a whole litany of reasons for this but too much to go into here. 

 Do you believe in Marmalade?

Or Marmaduke?

A giant red dog?

  Could be! 

 Could be

   But why? Or

When? 

Who's to say? Me!!

That's who!

 Do you believe in refried beans?

   Yes there is a God

He makes us fart 

Ha- wonk!!

 Pinto beans 

Pinto horses

Ride the midnight 

   When the rain comes

    (All in a book)

 The prism prison elect

 Casts no sorrow

    Upon interludes of today's news 

  Shit shat spat

   We are idiots 

For taking this shit

    Yum!

 The totem 

Borrowed my soul

 Just for a little while 

 It said

    It was a real quandary but

Nonetheless I persevered 

   I stumbled into a bar and

Ordered a Mai-tai

  Which was denied 

Beer or well drinks

So I had a gin and tonic

   Would help protect against malaria

In the southern climes 

   I went to to the bathroom to wash my face

But when I looked in the mirror I didn't recognize myself

Funny I thought how not having a soul changes one's face

  I looked like Tyrone Power I think that's 

Who it was

   I went back to my drink and downed it in one gulp

I'll have another but this time try to put some gin in it

  I poured it stiff he protested

Huh my apologies 

My soulless self seems to take alcohol like water

 The glass arrived this time in a pint sized decanter

  I sipped it

Still nothing 

Okay that's better I said and left a large tip

  

 Sheen

On

You crazy diamond

         Spleen 

   Align

Say what?

  What's in the backyard?

       A thousand million years

     Slay the monumental antipathy 

        Caress 

    To be caressed

      Some say

      So I think I better go for

   A walk 

  And forget about it all

 The break neck

Funk

     Plagued

   The martyrs embrace

Simple to see

   Sooorry

  To sigh

   Employing a catharsis like

   Totem

Just another day

 The Cadillac of the body

    Was ten twenty years ago

   Now it's more like a Subaru or a Hyundai 

Of the soul

 Plastic

   Smooth ride

Fuel efficient

 But supposedly easy to steal

Says Tik Tok 

  I bought a thingy to lock on the wheel

Nobody's getting this baby!

Wait have you locked yourself away?

Who's asking?

 A stolen whisper

From the branches

    Youuuuuu!!! Whooooo areeee yoouuuuuuu?

Me? 

  Nobody just me 

Fuck off!

 I have Twelve ways

 broken by the elves

Months

    I saw the empty circle

  And the felt hat

Long ago

 Now it's a dream

I climbed to the very top of a swaying 

Tree 

And then I climbed down

And my hands were covered in sap

Sticky and smelly

I read a book about

  A man who played pins

And drank cider

  And awoke 60 years later

 Parrots are funny

And they like to face time

    Squawk

  Hey me too squawk!

 There was a

 There was

    In its entirety 

   See the where

    Try to be

   Just be

 See

  Not so easy

  But you disagree

   What's wrong with you

 You say

I don't know

I say

Nothing really

 I guess 

 If I could be a zen

Painting of a person in nature

      Whisked away the egg ideas

       With scallions of thought

I'd still be hungry!

Omelet you go now! 

  Toast ya later!

 A placid demeanor contradicts the turmoil inside.

  Is there no peace? Desire is the root of suffering but how to stop desire? I don't even know what I desire!

If I desire peace from suffering isn't that just an endless cycle?

  Don't desire peace practice detachment.

Om

Mani

   Padme 

Om

Don't know what that means.

   Say hello to your breath

    And then don't even say hello

Smile like you are hungry

   Crocodile mind

The stars are just too many

      Like the blades of grass

    All is illusion

But it's what we got!

 Love it!

    Is that detached?

 I'm a human marmot. What does that mean? Go figure.

 I guess I got a little drunk last night. Stop the presses!

 I was a miracle

Born in a foot hospital

   I had three legs but no one talked about it

 After I excelled at soccer some assholes

Took notice

Hey! He's got three legs!

I kicked one in the nuts

Fuck you ya fat turd

Was the headline of the local paper

  I studied anthropology 

  And went to to the Olduvai gorge

But they said hey three leg what's the deal

 So I opened a bistro

  And sold 

Jamon sandwiches

 And became fabulously wealthy

Life's a play on words

  But don't forget 

No it's not

 I had a vision

     Unknown though it was to me

   Of a place or a person or a thing

But somehow it was a dream that 

Never came true

 The bone-a-fied 

   Moon doggies

  Barked at the green sky

  The curly haired cuties

 So happy to be out!

 

 Chelada 

    And Tequila

-that works

As the sun goes down

  And nobody gives a floop!

 Keep a car gray

And old 

 Near to your heart

   Cuz you don't do shit

 But wtf

  What am I supposed 

  My supposing 

Studies

Of black and gray

   And mud

 The creature

Called a creature

   Named Henry

  But no one knows

  The forgotten tale 

Of times miserable decay

   Yet you are the only one 

  To matter

 Sad that's what that is

 Some twister

Tossed my head

    To my knees

   I stirred

  The Appalachian coonskin

Sorrel

   Plug nickel jug

Of corn pone 

 And high diddly doo!

 Now I'm an old

  Crumpy

  Crab apple

     Sour in a pile

  Rotting beneath a tree

 I went to a well known Chinese restaurant

Near North Beach 

I asked for water

 They didn't bring it

I ordered and asked for a coke

  Still no water

They brought a can of coke

I asked for a glass

  They said they'd bring it 

They didn't 

I got up to get a glass

"Oh we'll get it"

"That's what you said about the water but I haven't seen that."

A couple near by was seated after me. They ordered and got their food. 

Still nothing. I finished the coke, put on my coat and left.

A woman looked at me as I left. 

I went to North Beach and got the best slice of pizza I've had in years. 

Five bucks. The Chinese food would have cost five times that. Hah!

 Time keeps going

    Every day 

  Round and round

 

 I think I was depressed

I certainly drank enough

Oh well they can't all be winners!

 The "Tulgey Wood" movie is progressing 

TikTokers have been banned from the set

By Marty Scorsese 

    "If that's what I have to deal with I'd rather smoke

Meth and watch Roger Corman films!"

I could see this shit would never get done.

(Please ignore this entry)

 I captured a map of Wyoming

  I was blonde, blue eyed, with black glasses 

And a polyester button down short sleeved shirt

 Actually it was at the Tetons 

I wasn't smiling

 I ate a regular beef (carne asada) burrito w

Sour Cream

Con Crema! 

 S'il vous plait 

I was in France 

But the burrito

Was made on

Haight Street

In California 

  The French are arrogant fucks

 But they helped us beat the English

Thanks to Ben Franklin

Can you believe Ben Franklin was a player?

Well after the last American guy was a total dick head

YES

 I'm a headlight on a northbound train!

Umm no you're not

You're an old guy who's drinking 

Wine and brandy

I'm a headlight on a northbound train!

 

 I timed my demise through

A black hole which I complained about 

  But no one listened 

 At a second before my entry

Time moved so slowly it was 

As if it never happened 

   But a vocoder voice of you know who

Did a narration 

And ruined everything

Dick fuck!

 The canker frost made its way through

Fountains of water

  In the pot was held the eye of newt

See I'm a witch! Hah! 

  The crowd edged forward

 I had a thousand wishes

But couldn't think of one

  

 I'm going to move to Florence Italy 

   And watch a working man get stabbed and die

In the plaza

 And faint

 I bought brandy

$5.52 for a half pint

  Seemed cheap

They had $300 whiskey 

   From An Asian country

That we bombed with nuclear explosives

Okay mr downer- tell us more!

Well...

Blah blah blah

Lol

 Drowned in a bath

    Of a philosophers death

For teaching youth

  The truth

Like anyone wants that!

 He plied the torrential Italy 

  Of his meanderings

I'm the radiant Rafael

   The Titian

Of Today

    The Rembrandt 

Of Tomorrow

The art history 101

 Of long ago

The seats were not comfortable

   

 The dandelion sky

Was ebullient

Spare no expense!

       Rain is the rapscallion 

In faded mom jeans

   She said 

    As the stars looked on embarrassed 

But no one was listening

She thought

   She looked in the fridge

Hmm cheesecake

 Can you see the forest for the trees?

What is a Virgo? A Virgin? I'm confused.

 What's your moon sign? 

 Entwined in a myriad of future 

Possibilities

  But content with the box 

A plastic birthday boat came in

  Mmm cake!

 The caboose brained semiotics professor

   Turning the wheels of the gopher minded

 Please please me

He said

 But the bell rang

 Remember the frost limbed feelings

  Grabbing at growing up

 The paintings

Marked by 

The bunnies penis

     

     Golden eggs are in the minds

   Of the Holy See's

Plaster Jesus

   On the dachau-board

Of their car

Pink and pleasant

Iridescent 

  34 palestinian children killed

In 2022

 But who are we

    The sky is blue

The grass is green

Flowers are in bloom

 And my housemate is mentally ill.

 I tromped the muddy road

     To mobile home

   Ascent

   The accent though was sufferable 

      Plastic eggs on a tree and the rain 

Came down

  We made risotto 

  

 

 Shine in the night! 

The Network night!

The stars are alive!

I am alive!

 Some might say 

 As I played the notes

I was Schrodingers Cat

Neither alive nor dead

Or both 

And indeed I was!

Was I wave or particle

  I am not light!

But I'm going 460,000 km per hour

But 

  So what?

 The India singer

With the beat 

  And the guitar 

And viola Japanese?

Weeee ahhhh weeeh

Sleep tight

 Bro-sotto! Risotto!

W little pieces of hot dogs!

At Hayes and Broderick started a micro hood

HayBro!

 Casual friends can argue 

Over sharing

Green curry

 Fucked up!

But it's all good 

 Sleep steady. For

The eternal night. Like a

Hibiscus or a blind bird.

 This is the kind of music you die to. Easy

Going with a satori melody. Jack Kerouac never knew

What death is.

 DeNiro found himself on the set of 'Titanic'.

"WTF is going on?!"

DiCaprio awoke as Travis Bickle and immediately complained about the coffee.

"What is this shit? Tastes like Dunkin Donuts!"

Katharine Hepburn was not amused by Richard Dreyfus making a sculpture out of his mashed potatoes.

"Dear, if you must sculpt we'll get you some clay or stone. Would you like to work in stone?"

 A local trivia night host

Gets lost in a cocaine fueled AI nightmare

Starring DiCaprio or DeNiro- they keep reverting back to 

Nightmarish scenes from movies they weren't even in. 

Wizard of Oz or Bringing up Baby

 The movie "Tulgey Wood" is having some difficulties.

Paul Schrader refused to allow his name to be attached. Scorsese was incensed. 

"Doug's not going to like this!"

Filming is to begin in several weeks.

 Grasping the ears of the Easter Bunny

With a six pound hazelnut chocolate egg

   From See's industrial division

He thought about his old car 

  And wondered where it was these days

 The finality of death

Was a misnomer

  We all live forever!

 Under his purview

Was a ruthless sentiment;

Eat like dandelion or starve

Like an Etruscan

Auto salesman

 Some effigies were not unliked

 Confirm the conflated ideals

The banality of happiness

Vs the banality of honeydew melons

 Grifters gonna grift!

 Poems received, poems retrieved

In an alley in the west village

La dee da 

 

 Time murdered

The central characters 

It murdered everyone

Convivial confluence 

Of past and present 

Wasn't really convivial

 Dervine Werships

  Sank from the weight 

Of the Lords cannonballs

 Oops!

 Cleats are shoes 

With fingers from 

    The North Pole

 Don't eat all the olives

     When in Spain

 Save some for the trees

 The dime store centaur

     Placed in the future

    Wearing cords and hush puppies

 A human peppermill

   Caught stealing from

Wasteland 

 Spooky spook spooky

 The sky Ghosts

     Are you one?
