I am Jane Goodall's Tanzanian monkeys typing about bananas. My fingers are Santa's little helpers. My hope is a sporadic rainfall - yet a torrential downpour in all creative environments. I am Theseus, unspooling golden yarn. Sisyphus, sweating uphill. Bukowski, scribbling away in rooming houses. A river always flowing. I am the nightmare of stagnancy and a God of Imagination.

The Spaces Available In My Heart Are More Important Than My MySpace...
I'm packing on new days like a fine layer of moth wing dust.
Please treat me gently.
I may seem ugly.
But.
Regardless.
I might be beautiful in your hands?
Maybe a delicacy to some in other parts of the world.
Or a pest.
I can fly when I want to.
I can bite you when you sleep.
You can easily squash me, smoosh me or preserve me in a jar.
I'm attracted to your glow, though.
Be gentle, fucker.

Leaves Of house...
Get up, get up
says your trainer
I feel tired
you say
please
just let me
lay down
Oh, no, no, no, you big pussy
you're much stronger than that
why do you think you're here
in the first place?
Because I never knew what else to do?
Exactly, asshole
now let me stop that bleeding
keep your guard up
and punch, jab, punch, jab
He must be tired
you say
please
just let him
lay down
That's it, that's it
says your trainer

Each Day...
Each day is like a unique fingerprint, a strand of DNA, a snowflake.
Each night has been a "day"mare, a slow trudge through sucking muck, a lance splintered into the soft flesh and steel of charging calvary.
Today and all the days before this one have been tough and far too easy to bend and shape to my dreams if maybe I wasn't so whimsical and soft.
I have an atrophied heart stricken with bouts of emotional Tourettes Syndrome and a will made of petrified Silly Putty.
I am me, just like before. Stronger and weaker - for better or for worse.
I don't miss myself or miss my missed opportunities.
I just want more hits as I'm swinging and a lot less misses, Missus.
Love and kisses.

As Far As This Last Year Goes...
I want this next one to be totally Boo Radley as opposed to this years horrific Liberace naked jumping into a pool.

Egg...
Everything that I wished for before I now have
and everything I now have is nothing compared to what I had.

Alto...
I collect brilliant scraps of life
like you do tickets
I'll start writing my shit down when
you learn how to FUCKING drive

Christmas Craptacular...
Downloading songs for my work's iPod. I'm in hell. Bing Crosby helps, though. Sammy Davis Jr. does not. I want to shoot him in his glass eye.

Fat Free Milk Friends...

Oh, What A Tangled Web...
Fire's out but I can still smell the smoke. It permeates the air, my clothes will need to be washed and I'll need someone to look at these burns. My house is gone. Smoldering ruins. My pets are nowhere to be found. I'll miss them dearly. All of my possessions, the comic books, my passport, TV and computers are blackened husks. Not so important I guess, but all of that will be hard to replace.
Today's my first day of starting from scratch and so far...
This poem is all I own.

Robinson Crusoe Meets Jack The Ripper...
Haven't been writing on this old friend, here, Fat Free Milk, because of big life changes and a lack of a computer. Revisiting a lot of the ol' pen and paper Deus Ex Machina. Maybe I'll end up getting more done. We'll see...

He who tries to forget a woman, never loved her...
Which one are you?
The one I miss now?
Or the one I loved before?

Hey Kid...
One day you'll grow up.
One day you'll have an important moment of clarity that spirals through your brain and explodes outward through your heart.
The newly-found, diamond-like focus that suddenly envelops your eyes will cause them to well up with tears because what you've just learned is so, so beautiful...
You grew up...
You finally get it.
And now you're too old to do anything about, kid.

Raoul Duke: There's a uh, big machine in the sky, some kind of, I dunno, electric snake, coming straight at us.
Dr. Gonzo: Shoot it.
Raoul Duke: Not yet, I want to study its habits.
Yesterday's Hippies call other people "Hippies" now.
Think about this...REALLY.
