Fractal Memory #3

Moonlight on the water
late night summer swim
laughing girl takes my hand
and guides me
to her gentle shore

Invisible I

Early summer,1987 I think. Graduation party season, and we hit about five that day starting about noon. It got to be about 6:00 or so,and Doc decided he wanted to get something to eat. So we stop at Burger King and he goes in. His brother and I stay in the car, deciding we're too pissed up to go in. After about ten minutes or so we both decided we had to piss. We got out of the car and stood on either side. In the Parking lot. In broad daylight. Facing towards the second busiest road in town. And nobody looked at us twice, not so much as a horn honked by a passing car. Either it was too weird of a scene for people to believe, or we were invisible that afternoon for about three minutes.

Fractal Memory #2

Big blue car blonde girl driving
winter highway snow and wind
car too fast hits ice and spins
into the roadside snow
tall grass blowing in the cold
looks surreal encased in ice

Fractal Memory #1

a hot summer afternoon
but cool in the shade
of a cliff side cave
sitting on rocks in
the cave bottom
drunk a little
trip and fall
face to face with
the girl who was
brought by her
friend to meet me
our lips touch and we
kiss deeply

Retirement Plan

When I'm a dirty old man
I'm going to live in Belize
I'll have a dirty old dog
all covered in fleas
we'll stand on the beach there
and piss in the sea

When I'm a dirty old man
and I live in Belize
I'll have a dirty old girlfriend
who's really only nineteen
we'll screw in our hammock
as it swings in the breeze

When I'm a dirty old man
and I live in Belize
I'll build us a hut there
on the sand by the sea
that's where you'll find us
girl,dog and me

Earth/Woman

Blue-gray pools on a coppery autumn hilltop
two lower hills above the gentle plain
and in the valley down below
the sacred flower grows
