It amazes me I think in blue rhyme of language splattered across sullen minds of timid boys pistol whipped by sergeants  and bullied into  this transgression by subconscious dreams. Hidden desires left unfermented fossilized in back reaches we cross that land avoiding Mongol warriors & wicked con artists. And of fire these eyes burn intenselyContinue reading “IT AMAZES ME”

People need a sense of identity.  This can apply even when the identity is not such a good one.  I worked at numerous shit jobs over the years,  The pay was low and the benefits were poor.  Of course, they were just pass throughs for me,  It was a means to survive for a few months or a year orContinue reading “NORTH CITY BUS ARMATURE EMPLOYEES”

Sitting at the Trestle Inn indulging in a Trestlewide.  There’s a candle on the table and a video on the wall.  It’s footage of Nancy Sinatra presumably singing “These Boots Are Made for Walking”  but there’s no audio.  There’s a young lady on stage in the backroom dancing some go-go.  I snap a couple pictures of the dancer that comeContinue reading “DAY OF RECKONING”
