Sept 14 2005

now the where it is remains the thing to see, the thing to feel, the thing you think you may have left behind again -
do you think it means that you didn't want to leave? -
or that you need a good excuse to go back there again? -
i don't know, the mish mash gang are hanging out again next door, drinking ice cold vodka speaking all at once and louder as they go -
i applaud their liveliness -
after all, it isn't like the government is going to help, unless you pay subscription rates or have a backstage pass -
then again who would care if you didn't offer them a chance for something that they need? -
oddly enough, there are a lot of people -

meet me in the green room and i'll turn the tv on and we can watch the opening act together -
you go on ahead and have yourself a real good time while i enjoy my unavoidable obscurity -
it could be worse -
it always can be worse -
don't kid yourself, it always can be worse -

big half moon -
there is no reason for you to even-steven the m & ms, go ahead and take them all -
i blew my cravings out my body with the help of this here psychic straw -
yeah, cousins on the run doesn't mean that literally, it means it figuratively felix -
just because we're different, doesn't mean we aren't the same -
for you, anything -
for me, the usual attempt to curb an appetite -
so far so good because the painting's not completed yet -
the mirror is all fogged up now because i keep it in the shower -
but it still does take some time for the water to become you know just the right temperature -
the glass needs cleaning while i'm thinking about that -

don't you think it should be weirder? -
generally, i mean -
don't you think there is so much that is just always weird
and that it's even weirder
that there is so much value placed on representing ordinary things? -
don't ask me, i'm still trying to get my head around the corner to see what room i just came from -
the options you delivered took longer than just 30 minutes, so does that then make them free? -

too soon the merry dot is missing from the page you wrote, you drew, you thought about at length, but never did a thing that could leave a paper trail -
or was it trial? -
there were too many questions that day, so they all went back to bed and made a tent and brought the flashlights with them and read some comic books -
i think that it was pogo and archie from the 40s -
then the lights came on and they felt like they were caught, which was kind of fun as well -
but there were no parents there, so i think it was a ghost in the electric wiring -
maybe the cash register was ringing angels up -
but no one had a pint, and everyone was thirsty -
so sunday became monday and that's alright by bossy -
you know the playground might be noisy but so's the inside of the head sometimes - take an aspirin and call me in the morning -
the good doctor said it -

i know, i know, the wind storm's blowing up a lot of leaves because a lot of them have already fallen from the trees even though it isn't yet officially the time -
but the light has come -
that light that is the way it is, remarkable like that, only in september -
that's the way the light is now -
i like to look at it -
it looked great falling in the evening sky when that wild jack rabbit ran through the field beside the LRT -
what a strange and frightening beast it was all extended up like that on its legs running fast -
but the light all golden like it is -
makes me want take a bite of it -

and the great big yellow golden moon half way showing left us all in awe -
then lucy started hitting us because that's way she likes to show you that she likes you -
so of course we laugh at her, but she did give nasty bruises to a few us all the same -
so yes sometimes love hurts literally as well -
