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.
