taxed

a third of all profits
goes to taxes

so i'm drinking my 401k
straight from the bottle

investing in stocks
of fresh shasta daisies

and there's no way
i'm gonna go bankrupt

because i already did.

heartbeat

i took a train to the heartland
and found a man who's pulse was fast.
he grabbed my hand and told me to look up
so i did and haven't been down since.

relationship

man woman
under pant
too damn tight

elastic between our
mantras tonight

we sought
simple greatness
amidst oversight

and then
we done

jeff @ whole foods

a boy appeared
between
the register and the line

his smile
painted faces
and i announced a "hi"

youth clean and
shaven
hebe drinks her wine

men are their
greatest
between 20 and a five.

call me.

the bean can

in settling for bed
i opened the cupboard
for a cookie or two

but no treats were found
only a can of
great northern beans

how much protein
is in a serving of beans?

7 grams. but get this,
on the can itself was the
vegetarian food pyramid

it was quite unlike anything
i had ever seen
and it read

eat your beans
drink your booze
all in good health

no joke.
go peep the pyramid
and let's go vegetarian tonight.

writers never die

there is a time
to bite a line
from a hero.

those of you who
never read him

might think
i was so quick
with words.

writers never die.

choices

a break through
my choice of sustained abstinince

i mispelled abstinence
fuck it.
