Pin racket, it darned

In marathon inspection, bold neck

Harlem sleeps in lessons.

-

Get awesome young Blossom,

with Joey at the auction.

Before you go...

in belly she wandered - dead legs,

eyes all Amber,

tortoise sad kiss, murder in an alley,

well meant and honest

(and it usually is)

Promise, not promised.

well shelled, vancant.

lost in human sections.

base lined - and no nine

On the boardwalk in the alley

bury last year, bury it.

i drove home drunk to get away from you

I ordered a beer

but my brand's keg was cashed

so I lowered my standards

and opened a Blatz.

A hot mama walked in

with eyes both so blue.

I wanted to meet her

'til I realized she was you.

And I know what it is

to have the DUI blues,

but I'll risk a dewey

just to get away from you.

I close one eye

to see one road, not two,

cuz I drove home drunk

just to get away from you.

Now there's puke in my beard

and shit on my shoe.

Last night was bad.

I hope yours was too.

I popped my front tire

and smashed up my grill

and I'm still too drunk

to know how to feel.

I got home zig-zagging

on back country routes

and if I didn't cry for you,

it's cuz I was blacked out.

My brain tastes like whiskey.

My soul wreaks of beer.

I'm staying in to drink tonight

cuz I know you won't be here.

I closed one eye

to see one road, not two

cuz I drove home drunk

just to get away from you.

Yes, I drove home drunk

to just to get a long way from you.

Lost Notes & A Vague Calendar Alert

This is on a 3 x 5 card I just found in my moleskin:

"I was thinking that I didn't know enough kinds of people or didn't understand them well enough.  I looked in the mirror and imagined myself w/ less hair.

That was an intense period.  I was at the computer lab working on the book & working 60 hr weeks.  Some people my age have to kill other people.  We all do things.  Anybody can do a lot of things.  Why does he do that?  How does it relate to what's inside?  You can take a body & put it somewhere.  Sometimes it's called kidnapping, drafting, imprisonment, grounding."

Wow.  What an insightful soul.

Also, important things!
 Ther is a show tonight.  FTT in Whitewater.  Reunion/Goodbye Show Plus after Party in Whitewater Old Armory at 7 PM.
There is a Shift Freedom show on Monday at a place and time that I don't recollect.  Sean and I, as honorary members of Shift-Freedom Leauge, will be reading some BRAND NEW SHIT!  Perhaps I will update this post when I remember the details.  It's evocative title: "SHIFT FREEDOM IS DEAD"
By the way, here is the Shift-Freedom website.
