On this morning's walk, fog was everywhere. We didn't see any chickens or squirrels or other dogs but did come across half of a discarded .45 sitting at the base of a palm tree, approximately 15ft from a day care. It was silver and black, missing the slide and cartridge. Little Dave pissed on the handle of the gun. I reached down, pushed it with my finger, validating it wasn't a toy, while also leaving a finger print in hope that the cops might implicate me in some liquor store robbery or murder. Because fighting for my freedom seems a lot more interesting of a way to pass the time than drifting from 7-11 to donut shop to yogurtland in search of someone/something with a spark.

that was sweet.
but you should just give up looking.
we're running out of fire.
feel like the deciding factor for someone to be a poet is an inherent drive to search for beauty even while drowning to death.
committing to a reality based on frozen yogurt, must-see-tv and yard sales seems merciful.
maybe in the next version of reality i'll be the emasculated dad driving a minivan rocking a whip cream mustache from the starbuck's frappucino resting in his hand and everything will feel okay, i'll just exist, like a pussy fart at a disco or something even more mundane than that.
think you wrapped up nicely what being a poet is supposed to be all about. too bad it doesn't apply most of the time.
imagining the dad whose existence is made better by a frappacino.
is must-see-tv still a thing?
what happened to walking around in the rain for getting kicks?
Yeah, I think genuine poetry is inherently rare. A lot of people try to accomplish it and fail. Some are really good at the mimic game though.
Maybe must see-tv is dead. I don't know. I blocked that shit a few years ago. Seems more detrimental than fast food, to me.
Rain is where all illusions fail. In other words, where poetry exists.
guess thats why i've always preferred bowling to most poets.
anything deemed must see should be viewed as detrimental
when will fast food become must eat food?
the sadness.
