The siren of flashing lights
race across the bridge
in fog
playing hide and seek
with empty trees
No coyote howls
in silent harmony
~ ~ ~
Seems I’m inclined
to work the word mines
for the weird mind
~ ~ ~
Think I’ll toke this town
stone by stone
it’s 4:20 somewhere
~ ~ ~
I’ll huff
and I’ll puff
and I’ll toke this joint down
~ ~ ~
Dead Man’s Curve
tells me all I need to know
about life
~ ~ ~
Coffee in
coffee out
weariness continues
Writing words
across the sky
for the underground
Twixt nothing’s something
and now’s then
tomorrow’s sorrow
As for mirrors
I choose the edges
of the bevels

We speak half truth at best
knot not
quirk quest
We’re born little
keep crawling
to Big Nap

cold wind
hard ground

one more hill
in run round sun

Ground white
heart dark
where light?

There’s these Texas rabbits
that breed like rabbits
till too many per square footage
whereupon nature steps in
and they develop a nervous condition
start doing strange stuff
dying off
until there’s not enough rabbits per acre
and they heal
and they breed
and . . . well, you know
Been looking around
see a lot of rabbit ears lately
~ ~ ~
Did two armed robberies 1970
got $64 in first
10.5 months in second
~ ~ ~
I’m thinking
all the saucepans of the world
come from Sausalito
~ ~ ~
Digging bones
in the boneyard
giving up on finding flesh
It takes songbird
and the songbird’s shit
for song to sing
~ ~ ~
Old bones
lowered in hot tub
pure pleasure
Descabbing wounds
while soaking battered body
in salt bath
~ ~ ~
The 4 C’s . . .
cardiac, cars, cancer, Covid
life uneverlasting
~ ~ ~
The trouble with subtlety
is they don’t hear
the fuck you
