Storybook pariah-hood
Basking in the sullen looks
By the red eyed boys
Streaming movies
On the telecom
We steer for the lights
Hungry and wet
That sucks
He thought
We’ll get over it
When the new moon comes
He loaded another round
And shot it into his arm
“ fuck the pre-sets!”
Nobody gave a hoot
There was no boat
Yet we swayed
And fought for sea legs

Exit pattie
Of Indian red loose
Fits and
torn by the wayside
Take. The.
See along the.
See ?
Nah
Just itching a scratch - a - doodle
Nah
Nah no Sam Shepard sighs
Of lounging unto
Afternoon
Lower case letters
See?
The wicker chairs are all rotted and
Falling apart
You smell the cooking
From the hot kitchen
There's a strange mustiness
To the stairwell
Do you remember that?
Smoking in grandpas old bedroom
While the snow covers the bean fields
And the cows are in the barn next door
Woo
Throw it out there
Just out
See?

Fits and
torn by the wayside

Carnitas dad was eating at Roger’s All Dogs Restaurant at Sycamore & 5th streets. It was one of his favorite late night spots. He was on his twelfth hot dog and he was starting to feel a little full.
“Two more, Randy.”
He washed them down with a gulp from a liter size container of DP.
“ Aah, that hits the spot. And it’s a big spot.”
“Okay Mr. Regalo, have a good night.”
“See ya, Randy.”
He got in his 83 Buick Cavalcade that his wife had brought home from her work and turned on the radio.
“DISCO!! Yeah! Oompa Oompa Oompa Boom!!”
The rain was still coming down when he pulled into the driveway.

Lambert’s girlfriend was shocked.
“ You hired a woman to sell cars?”
“ She sold three cars today in the freezing cold! I’ve never seen anything like it. Haha, cracks me up.”
“What is she, some kind of a bombshell in stiletto heels?”
“What? No, she has an EYE PATCH! And I made her wear Bobs plaid sport coat. Haha.”
“When does Bob get back from rehab?”
“Fuck Bob. I’m done with him.”
“She has an eyepatch?”
“Yep.”

Carnitas’ mom worked at DooRight Used Cars down on State Street.
A fellow named Lambert Doowright owned the business.
Lambert’s motto in hiring had been “Women can’t sell used cars!” At least that was his motto until one bitterly cold day in October when Sally Regalo walked onto the lot looking for a job.
“Yeah, I don’t hire women except for bookkeeping and I already got one.”
Lambert was staring at her eye patch. ‘A woman with an eyepatch wanting to sell used cars’ he thought to himself ‘ Jesus Christ, what’s next?’.
She said “Tell you what, in this weather you’ll be lucky if one person walks on the lot. I’ll work all day for nothing and if I sell a car, you give me a job.” And then she smiled.
Lambert was kind of charmed by the smile and her pluck. “ Uh ah, what the fuck.. go for it!”
Then he thought to himself and said “But wait, here, wear this sport coat.” It was orange and purple and polyester. She looked at it slightly perplexed with her one steel grey eye and then she put it on. It was just a little too big.
“Okay I’m going to work!” And she slammed out the door.
Lambert laughed at the sight of her.
“There’s no fucking way she’ll sell a car looking like that in this weather! “
She sold three.

Drain the fusillade
Reports to Sherman
Great envoys of mildew and mirth
Far from home
Boots worn out
Teeth loose in his head
Begging pervitin
In letters home
Still
We bathe in the river
And take poison eyed gambles
Ah tra la lee
Tra la lee!
Shots echo in the cobbled streets
Let’s get the fuck
Outta here
Haha!
I forgot my keys
Dammit
Oh well on Canada!

Catch FIRE
On the Seventh Day
God is in the details
But nowhere near when you need him/her
2.
Remember the FIRE
Of Broken Days
Leave the door behind
In a pile of leaves
3.
There is no FIRE
Just Days
What door are we talking about
The door of mis-perception
4.
See Stations of Fire
Laid out
In a concerted effort
To stem the tide
The haulers
The painted red
The Rimbaud seekers
5.
See the
Embers like bedbugs
Itching scratching
Flailing
Catch a cold
From snot nosed kids
6.
The leavened bread
Unfit for Easter
They say
And yet they hate
My hobbit jokes

I haven’t a Way
To fly
Over cities
Not a Boat
Powered by
Ambient dream waves
Not a drunken boat
Hammered by waves
At night
Out of the hands
Of the haulers
A boat that collects
Scalps at night
And sells them
In the morning
And sells them
In the morning
-
Blood pressure
&Lymphatic anomalies
& Glucose
&Sleep patterns
& brain waves
- predicts
Optimal
Conditions - thus
And into effect
Puts our weary
Minds
