Falling in Love
is truly the greatest
of all human emotions
It is
at the same time
wonderful
and
horrible
But it is what
I want
what I need
Soon it will be in the air. It will be
all around us like the winter's cold
the summer's heat
Soon you won't be able to think, eat,
drink or function like you want
to.

1) Two Japanese gentlemen @ the bar in the 'Hibachi Hut' (a cajun-ish restaurant) confused w/the language and why the Hibachi is NOT a Japanese restaurant [one sounds like Sammy Davis Jr.].
2) Sign @ Hibachi Hut:
Sorry We do not offer a "no smoking" section
3) Whatneys beer is really good!
4) Gettin' old as hell--not carded in a college town. Damn!
5) This just doesn't make any sense...flies can walk up-fucking-side-down on the ceiling.

Noting that I have here
nothing more or nothing less
than free time and even
freer thought
I enjoy my morning with
the usual crowd as they
snake their individual ways
to the places where they
answer the question, "so,
what do you do?"
No rush or hurry, just
the occasional Camaro
making the occasional illegal
right turn and receiving
requisite punishment
in the form of the short, angry horn
toot.
The guy with the screw-
driver wields all the
real power and has
proven to be most courageous.
I admire his efforts.
Once the evil syn-
thetic snow wanes and
wood mountain becomes our
land's tiniest national
park I will move on
in my ongoing quest to
save our world through
the kindness of my heart

I'm tired
so tired
Did I give my best?
I think so...
Is it a reasonable possibility?
I think so...
Is it a matter of money?
Sometimes yes and sometimes no.
What am I doing
I don't really know
sometimes
anymore
Goals? What goals.

I'm a little sad
I wish I could be mad
I'm a teeny-tiny/little
I'm a fucking jerk
I don't care

Sharing is Caring
Don't act like you
don't know
There's a reason you
wore that shirt
and until you meet
the-love-of-your-life
and get "married"
You're going to continue
wearing that uncomfortable
shit
You know, and lie if
you say you don't
Until I see you in sweats and slippers, I'll know
you're lonely
Until I know
You're not flirting
with me, but ARE
my friend, I'll know
You'll continue to
read Glamour
You know, so tell
me why
Did we do this
to you or do you
possess the real power
If I could walk
a mile in your shoes
I would. but, how much
would it hurt?
[back]
Calm down boy...
You've got to relax
Things will be fine and dandy...
Be brave, be strong, be real
You're doing the right thing regardless
of the outcome
But make your points and let things flow
show what you mean, sell the deal

surrounded by clowns
the serious confuse me
I could ignore them
[back]
wanting to escape
far away, inside my head
like raining indoors
[back]
to be determined
Jimi died your boredom
I shall last longer
[back]
skyrocketing life
images of illusions
morphine capsules
[back]
growing amazing
like a colony of ants
summertime splendor
[back]
passion of flowers
like music from far away
makes my heart glow warm
[back]
thought upon waking
I have a wonderful life
like clouds in the sky
[back]
who are these people?
familiar like from a dream
living nightmare day
[back]
Bats! Bats everywhere. Bats
You see bats, I see silly little
letters...caps, "H's" and "I's"
But you could convince me
with the power of knowledge
locked away somewhere I
have no access (perhaps you either)
Bats! Oh my god
I see them now
protecting files and lines
and making us more and more
aware that this is all
JUST A CRUEL JOKE
(but, sometimes a very funny one)
All work and no play
makes the bats come to life
to suck the blood and guts
from our lifeless "dress code" shells
But come the stroke of midnight
all bats are off
my life continues...whew!
Some are serious
some are seriously not
this is life or, matter of factly, not
for some
Oh, but the bats remind me; that
as previously mentioned
there are clouds, and rain
and kisses, and candy, and the
poor dying children of that
third world country of United States
I can live with that
I can SURVIVE this...
with humor and sarcasm
with dignity and ignorance
Because
I will someday laugh aloud
[back]
work can reward you
in ways you don't consider
like hindsight surprise
[back]
today has been great
friends and family do count
the blood of living
[back]
stress comes when no one
can offload the pending thoughts
which accumulate
[back]
easier for me
and, thus, easier for you
a charade of sorts
just remember:
play by the rules,
they're easy now...
let's not make them
difficult
[back]
holograms are real
mirrored shades worn indoors
like the sunny rain
[back]
the pain in my head
is in the very center
like princess and pea
[back]
you hear the tango?
crack lady go on back home
like annoying fish
[back]
like coffee shop eggs
letters scrambled making words
corporate gibberish awry
[back]
tired as workmen
through the day and night without
pause for reflection
[back]
drummer is ready
cue the electric guitars
the new song goes like:
I'm your candy man
you are my candy princess
from the candy land

how quick to judgment
young Americans are to
react with bias
[back]
nothing appears clear
stupidity prevails, no?
like Jello melting

awesome is awesome
there is no other answer
pigs peaceful in slop
