The Sundry Transveyance

    Somewhere near nowhere

that's where you live

   time won't bother

     But keep an eye on gravity

   Organisms are kinda complex

 But dang a cold beer would be good

 about now

 "Curry Chicken and a Ginger Ale to go"

Is my next movie. Set in a tiny Chinatown restaurant.

It's a day where the sunlight is blazingly bright.

 The Gosvenor 

     imbued the 

foreign entities

   with a spatula 

Of death

   time was the garlic

    in the stew

   What did it mean to the burros?

    hay was hard to come by

   But the grass near the swimming pool

Was green and lush

  A pitcher of Tom Collin's

and a typewriter with a sheet of paper

sat on the table close by

 Treat the humidity

It's not the heat 

its the humility

 I had a thing for Caravaggio

   The lighting was so dramatic

Giorgione though had a feel for nature

   Pirandello? Nah

   Botticelli ? Iconic

   Peter Paul Rubens? Mm okay nice self portraits but no

    Pierro Della Francesca?

  Oh fuck yeah

    The master of comic novel portraiture 

 Plutarch was a regal cowboy

     His horse pranced

   But the knives were written

 I'm drunk

   See the King of the Tooth Pain

        SEE the King

    Be the King of the Tooth Pain

       Be The One That Lights the Way

 Be a plastic Chair from 1966

 Be the Mesa Verde ladder 

    That no one is allowed to climb

   Cuz insurance and shit

 Call me Rob Roy

   Or Banksworth 

The fruit of my fathers loins

   A product of schooling in two different states

   Once upon a time

   (Both have changed)

   The Oyster River Road Elementary School

in dang ole shire

   Nay not a hobbit shire

But a pseudo British New Hamp-Shire

that was then

   And then three thousand miles to the west!

    traversed with a mother and two older sisters

    inna red squareback

    We watched a man walk on the moon

    In someone's basement

    It took fucking forever 

Stayed in college dorm room that summer

found a Molotov cocktail

in the bushes whilst searching for a lost baseball

found a twenty dollar bill and various coins

In the hallway 

Probably dropped by a drunk summer school

rich kid forced to study

   Then to a town in the dry hills

Where the Govt had a Radiation Lab

  Formerly a Naval Airbase

A half block from the house we rented

from the Newkirks who were in Germany

Why? Who the fuck knows?

Half a block to 4th grade school

Almond Avenue Elementary 

   giant field with Almond trees

here and there

I cried

   I wasn't ready

  I didn't want to go!

 Sam Wo's

  Serving for 100 years

Old neon sign

  Tiny little place 

   But looked good

  Got Kung Pao Chicken

   and a Tsing Tao. 

no music

   which is a plus

dude came in and ordered Curry Chicken

 and a Ginger Ale

 to go

 It's kind of an endless loop

   But let's not get into that

Whrrrrrrr

     Whrrrrrr

Hydraulic lifts

       Via disposal technicians 

    Stop at 

Popeyes

   For two piece combo

W Dr Pepper

  Watched Being There 

last night w Peter Sellers

  and Shirley MacLaine 

  Chauncey Gardener

In DC

"Do you know Rafael? I have a message for him."

 The egg shells

are remaining

    like mass market paperbacks

  with their covers torn off

 Asimov

   Zane Grey 

   Romance novels

      Shit fantasy 

  Who am I to judge?

All my friends are going to be strangers

 Move

Like a radical leftie

Pitching woo ball

     to a dim sum 

        Creature Feature

   7th grade was a piece of crapola

     you hocked a loogie

    And frogs by the hundred thousands

      Came up

from "The Pit"

   large rubber bands 

   were politically incorrectly 

  used

 I once invited a radical leftist poet from Spain to Thanksgiving. 

We got a ride to my mom's house in the country with a  balding dude she was dating. He had worked at an engineering firm in SF. It was famous but I forget the name. Dude was from Greece or Turkey or both I forget what his deal was. 

He said when he moved to the U.S. it upset him that he  wasn't addressed as Herr Professor. He said they did so in Europe why not here? He said doctors here are referred to as Dr. why not professors or engineers?

My friend and I looked at each other like who the fuck is this guy?

Driving the roads out to the country he said if an innocent person were put in jail it was okay as long as it assured that no guilty persons went free. 

"Are you fucking kidding?! I don't think you understand how justice works in this country. A person is considered innocent until proven guilty. You just want to put in prison everyone suspected of a crime in order to make absolutely certain no guilty people remain free? 

The poet had been born in Spain and as a child had been one of Franco's Fascist Youth. He knew from Fascists.

 Outside on the sidewalk of

the Pompidou art museum

In Paris, France

        was Medieval appurtenances including;

                        A strongman with chains and weights

in a wife beater who had a corroded bald head;

                and another large balded man

         Perhaps his cousin?;

       blowing giant long flames

      from his mouth 

               after taking a swig 

    from a 

        see-through plastic container

            and lighting it as he blew

            

 Your talk 

was like an egg cream drink

       at Zelikov's on 34th St.

     it tasted good

   But no egg

               no cream

 There weren't 

much going on

   It was NYC

      in 1984

   My English 

                 were getting better

    and you're mom

                     had a basement apartment 

                in Alphabet City

 The Burden of Mexico Heat

    Like a Sam Shepard play

       with two brothers and stolen

                 neighborhood toasters

  

Rang

  

                      up yer counterweight argument

      but you tried

        a Chinese restaurant 

      goose one of many

                    hanging in the window

 I ran

      a featured embrace

       by the murdered children

        I tried

     but I'm not anything

      I ran a long race

        But who can stand up

        in the face of Government power

       I tried

          but what could I become 

        I kept my head low

         For fear of being shot off

             it's what they count on

          whoever THEY are

            but fight we will

 Crapper

Innate bro-heim 

   splayed out on the lawn 

      crying over the misfortune

         But laughing inside

            The white worm

        knows its place

      By the bottles

         out of the sun

      wearing polyester 

    tennis shirts with popped collars

       dreaming about a 72 convertible Corvette Stingray

        eating Jujyfruits

      watching all the Planet of Apes

    movies in theatres 

    It's cool and dark

    and they have candy 

     But Jimi Hendrix sez

       Are You Experienced?
