I started playing guitar again a little today

It felt good. I covered "In the Dark Places" by PJ Harvey.

The earth assembles and disassembles so delicately
coalescing and replateauing to meet the next level
of the awareness of clouds in the blue sky.

off the road

The embers are cooling
excitement of the sixties now just
fond memories in the hearts and minds of retiring baby boomers
and glory seeking hipster youth
and profiteering show biz pimps

Actors try to latch on to the spirit
thinking they might warm their hands on the
raging inferno of change and possibility of the era
now wrapped neatly in Taschen historical nonfiction pablum
and quaint San Francisco bookshops

And as they drop off and die
cyber punk warriors and digital hackers are the new blood
the ash from the tip of Bukowski's cigarettes dissolved in the
setting Los Angeles sun

Absentee Ballot

I sit, my stomach knotted
I am faced with work that I don't want to do
I sense, soul besotted
with an atmosphere that stands in time,
deep and true

So cast my attendance with an absentee ballot
make it pretty with vim and spice
cast my attendance with an absentee ballot
tomorrow is coming and it won't be nice

I wait, my guns holstered
springs coiled, all prepared
I hate this manufactured psychic exhaustion
Emotions stunted and vision impaired

So cast my attendance with an absentee ballot
make it pretty and make it pop
cast my attendance with an absentee ballot
tomorrow is coming and time won't stop

Time waits for no one
Time ticks I finally act
mind clear, hands proactive
this goal will be attacked

So cast my attendance with an absentee ballot
I guess I'll be there tomorrow, after all
cast my attendance with an absentee ballot
The kids need teaching, and I do, most of all

Welcoming Bosom

Oh, your welcoming bosom
enhanced with Limited Brand apparel
your blond, an archetype
lo, your filled out arms
your cherub cheeks

Flushed with Christmas parties and co-worker happy hours
Ms corporate Christian
My Hesse mother figure
She will embrace me and soothe me
she will make it all right

My hands flit around her bonfire
to and fro,
feeling the warmth
schnitzl and bier
St Pauli girl
Viking bloodline

heaving with discovery
self discovered archetype
and detox, withdrawal
to make room for a flattened plane

Sunday

Yea,

Apex- aphex effects
dreamy day
A macro vacation
but undercurrents of the coming week
invade

battle stations!

Frugal

Like a twig
sticking to my stomach
coffee shames my name
changed in the Chicago opera
mockery
kindness
new life, new lessons
thank you for being my teacher
