i'm sitting down
prepping for the night here
have three pass through me before i even open up the page
they are far gone now
...
it isn't this way for everyone
but for some
truth has taken quite a beating
the pendulum swings
...
moses benard
traveler of galaxies
receiver of landscaping literature
you are my western border
...
look, i found a new radio in an auction car
i was going to install it this afternoon
but instead i just threw it on the front seat
i would like to point out that i did recognize your skill

she said one time
he said i always changed horses midstream
funny how my line would be
like a corkscrew to the heart

i've had responsibility
i've had money
i respect the money more
...

i'm building a tolerance
that isn't reflected in my typing
a famous comedian

i won't finish it
two ciggies left too
biting the filter
...
this is one of those ugly dead days
fevered pain and listless
dark and wet
the fear is coming over me
...
summer vacation!
i witness a wisp
of the american dream
he flung his youngest over the balcony
...
