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

[back]


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

[back]


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

"While you need efficiency, competence, responsibility, and people where the buck stops - in an organization that is working for something idealistic - the organization is not the bottom line."

 

Dave Foreman

[back]


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

[back]


how quick to judgment

young Americans are to

react with bias

[back]


nothing appears clear

stupidity prevails, no?

like Jello melting

[back]


awesome is awesome

there is no other answer

pigs peaceful in slop

[back]
