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.

Please look into the trashcan in your garage and maybe take out the new Converse box with the old shoes in it. There's our tickets for the show that we saw tonight and also for the baseball game that we saw yesterday. I've stuffed mementos in a drawer of mine in the house that I never seem to be at anymore. Keep them just in case, okay. Even if the best thing seems that we probably shouldn't be together. Why not? We all end up throwing away things inevitably, right?

Old Post.
Frustrating not to be able to share my simple joys with complicated people.
Frankenstein's monster ended up confusing flower petals with brittle, little girl necks.
Lenny wanted to share the soft and soothing experience of petting cute bunny rabbits with hard, callused ranch hands.
The satisfaction that you get with filling a house full of new furniture does nothing to quell the vast emptiness of my soul.
Your fast food gives you ths satisfaction equivalent to my frustrated headache.
What noisy gardners give me before waking dreams is your extra hour to get a cup of coffee before work.
Nintendo to your Wii.
My Mad Libs to your Blackberry.
I breathe lung cancer.
You live.
I am too far-sighted and not hungry enough to follow a fucking carrot.
I see six million blind and beautiful shuffling mules.
Not even aware of the shit that they're leaving behind.
I see me forever mulling over the potential beauty of six million animals blinding me with their unstoppable momentum.

Maybe Deja-Vu Is...
That somebody in an alternate universe is reading that book about you, the comic book or watching your movie and either had to re-read that sentence, chapter, etc. or rewind to the last part before the phone rang or having to feed the dogs.

Stop Being A 3===D
One of these days it will all make sense.
One of these days I'll miss these days.
One of these days I'll be better than before.
One of these days I'll be in Ireland.
One of these days I'll go back in time and make it all right.
One of these days I'll remember everything.
One of these days I'll breath deep
and
It'll be too late
to look back.

A Collection of Abject Musings ...
I think I could do this for the rest of my life. I just opened a beer and have adjusted myself properly in my chair. Guitars and violins are running through choruses to my left outside my door. Really. It’s amazing to live in a house filled with musicians. They’re wheeling in a xylophone now. It’s also raining – can you believe that?
I know I’ve written about it before but for every bad day there are days like these. Completely wasted, lazy days or nights with no ambitions. Nothing but the next five minutes of your life planned. Floating, vaporous days turned into solid joy.
I spent a year watching sunsets in my old place on Commonwealth, spent years walking my dog in the vast park at the old house and maybe in this house, after all of the heartache, confusion and mistakes I’ve made – maybe what I’ve been practicing slowly will finally turn into one big smile instead of the minutia of tiny smiles that I’ve accumulated here. Maybe in the next place, I’ll look back fondly on days exactly like today.

So, I was going to tell you about how I needed more time to myself in front of the computer and maybe to write and needed a little bit more time to get work out of system and that my friend, Pat invited me down to his work and I thought that it would be nice to get out of the house because everybody else seemed to be doing something either interesting or NON and why not, eh?
And as I was about to write this, he just texted me to come down and I think I might so I better hurry up.
I just wrote this post in two minutes, me thinks.
Bye.
