Your Own Personal Version Of A Nightcap

and so you're just standing on your back porch grilling away happy as a clam not exactly sure
what the hell that means with your wife having taken off at dusk for a little downtime at the local library hearing the mother next door going through her daily routine and ritual of hollering at her
monsters who told me she put them in catholic school cause both her and her husband had had
really good experiences jim morrison crooning trailing off through the screen window you forgot
to turn off in your son's bedroom the minister's daughter in love with a snake...while you just
stand there with your pitchfork full of marinade in the air and for some strange reason satisfied and
contented in don't know how long and look up for the first time and the first season losing yourself
in the great big massive deep dense oak just beginning to bend to grow laden with acorns and then
just like everything else in this perverse puzzling and perfectly delicate universe just like the fireflies
and tree frogs just like the crickets and cicadas just like the howling catholic school mother just like
jim morrison it all dies down and start to think is it at all possible you might just be starting to get it
all but know you're in a heck of a lot of trouble once you start thinking that way and know too that is
an absolutely absurd notion and has to be false and there could be nothing further from the truth cause there's really no truth or false to begin with in the first place or even for that matter to fathom or imagine and from a zen-buddhist perspective as well in this empty and hollow and lonesome world there's
absolutely nothing to get at all

the chicken tasted good though...

A Contemporary Social & Cultural Hx Of America

1. A Time More Innocent

when they seemed to just take you hostage on a runway somewhere in the vicinity of north africa
with the names of countries you never heard of and the worst that you could say was that they just
put a nice scare into you as this terrorist showed a scared people peeking and poking their heads
from the portholes of planes and hollering such outrageous claims like--"i told you i didn't want any
sauce on my souvlaki!" okay maybe not but it all just seemed so histrionic and symbolic and vague
almost like some passion play or scene from pacino's dog day afternoon and road runner explosions
and threats and ultimatums that never ever seemed to come to fruition and then the eyewitness
action-news team would show up with their exclusive round the clock coverage on the standoff
of a bunch of panicky palestians just trying to take off on foot across the runway like some
lame loosey-goosey game of ringo leevio and the worst was that it just proved to be a bit
inconvenient like some pink panther version starring the irrepressible peter sellers playing
himself and vice versa and the dictators looked like a bunch of big handsome sleazy macho
gigolos in shiny polyester shirts maybe with the sunglasses and hairy chest and disco afros
like they were getting ready to party and get coked up at studio 54 and try to score with all
the girls in a time when things just seemed more innocent and more to hope and dream of

2. The New & Improved Actions & Adventures Of Jesse James

i mean isn't it all so surreal or peculiar and odd these days this guy who goes by the name of jesse
james cheating on his blessed wife some say one of the sweetest and 'most well-liked actresses in america' fooling around with this cartoon character with blown-up bosoms and tattoos of swatzikas
he got for a steal in a response to an ad over his computer and now just freshly-divorced as though
he has paid his dues in court and been through the interview circuit of course oprah and katie couric
and confessed his sins and abused as a kid shedding crocodile tears over prime-time television now
appears all healed and absolved and forgiven and ready to move on as evidenced by the american
online headline "jesse james out with a reality star" i mean you know some people just got the life



3. The Source Of Satire

and it's all so funny but not really yet a little funny when you think about it as the war in iraq or "the battle
for baghdad" has taken on the exact same traits and characteristics as the "police-action" in vietnam and it all got started for the exact same false-alarm reasons with the supposed attack on the gulf of tonkin and domino theory and hussein's involvement in 9-11 and weapons of mass-destruction all proven in a parallel
comparison to never have happened and the french warned us to not get involved as had been fighting there for several years before as was the exact same case with the russians in afghanistan and their natives and citizens for good reason naturally fighting back and providing a good whipping for telling them how to run
their culture and country with an old ancient religious fanatical philosophy and history of fighting till the last man standing and then us absurdly claiming when we will be ready to withdraw and pull out and have their troops properly trained and country ready and stable in a better place deep-down inside knowing they're
in such a worse and more fucked-up place from everything we started like a bunch of missionary bullies

the only difference now we got more flags flying and not throwing eggs
and always trying to say the right thing and not showing anything on t.v.

A Flat Right Off The Hudson In Sleepy Hollow

all we used to do was
fuck and fuck and fuck and fuck
and fuck and fuck and fuck and fuck

some times some days all we'd do
was fuck and fuck and fuck and fuck
and spend the whole weekend fucking

fucking in her flat in sleeping hollow
fucking away everything all that was painful
all that was phony and suffering and sorrow

all that was bad and wrong in the world
fucking away overbearing impossible
mothers and fathers fucking away

bad marriages fucking away suicide and life
and breakdowns and betrayals and you know
it was the happiest time of our lives something

i always go back to
and then the foghorns
would come some time

around dusk and felt
they were just right outside
our window and they were

whose groans and blasts
just swept everything else up
and whose anonymous shady

geometric shapes creeping and crawling
like a mischievous thief took you in and spit
you out right into the amorphous ethereal unknown

like an old newspaper
like a ghost tumbling down old ancient
curbs and corners of dusty cobblestone

you know
all we did was
fuck and you know...
