this new booklet I’m writing “knowing you has been a kick to my stomach,” will be done in a couple days. anyone interested in a copy please let me know, because it is a limited offer.
power has been off and on tonight
making us appreciate the
boon of electricity
and air conditioning
in this maddening
brain baking heat
for now plenty of
water is available
for the three of us
my wife, myself,
and my cat
I love putting a cup
in front of him
and watching him drink
I love passing through
these experiences
I don’t see the sense
in a lot of things
rather I see
the nonsense in them
get home and rest
listen to music
write a few words in
candle light
off the street and
out of trouble
the world tries
to drag me out
of the house
unsuccessful at
being J.D. Salinger
so far anyway
break away with some
money and say
goodbye to the world
go and sit
like a buddha
be happy with poems
the small things
with words casting off
poisons and maintain
a few friendships
it’s all I can think of
to say for now
