It's Later Than I Think

Who wouldn’t want to live surrounded

By addicts and whores they’re young

And there’s no end to them they remind us

Of Jesus who reminds us of ourselves

Irascible prepared legendary

2012-02-13T16:00:00.006-08:00

We are

The few

Who choose

To live

It’s cold

It rains

It’s expensive

The government plans

Lights still work

Heat still works

Tv still works

Got a call today

Unkown number

Hung up

2012-01-12T18:41:00.001-08:00

Spain’s enough. God Already

Himself’s blessed the fields. He

Lives just distant from Sunday.

He can hear them drinking.

how pleasurable it was

how pleasant how

we died from our pleasure

not sins not evolution’s

debacle no we died

because we lived because

we made time to kill

ourselves because that’s

how we die while

everything’s trying to kill us

2011-12-15T17:38:00.001-08:00

your time’s yours

minus the time

it takes until

you’re you minus

the time spent

dreaming until

you’re minus

Letter From A Friend

2011-11-22T15:27:00.001-08:00

No vacations or sick days remaining

so I have to go to work.

I transfer at Croton but being brain dead,

leave my knapsack on train.

Hopefully it gets turned in.

My next train pulls into Dobbs Ferry;

I look at the sign but don’t get off the train.

Instead I get off at Yonkers & take train north.

I’m at work now. My mouth so chewed up

from seizure all I can eat is bananas.

You’re from Victoria British Columbia

And the weather is your most

Not the queen’s concern

Once was

When you lived

In that house once was

Once was when once

Was just a house

And the street

Still there only

The house

Once was

The most I can do

Is sit here on this public bench

I’ve done the laundry dishes

Taken the old lady for a walk

Towards the park

Raised and lowered the blinds

The least I can do I think

It’s summer

And who after another wants

Another having the last thirty forty years

On their hands

2011-07-16T18:40:00.001-07:00

every morning
I wonder why
I'm never prepared
for myself
