I wrote this a couple years back. It was published in a little magazine only hippies read. It's the first third of the whole thig. I'm revising it some but not much. Be careful: it's wild.

Last night: another bar encounter, which went nowhere. She asked me about my last column, and as i began to explain she lost interest. OK, maybe I'm boring. She seemed really friendly at first, though. But she was just there to drink. Which is what I did as well.

Happy Easter, if you care for such things.....

Do you always go to the same bars? I always go to this place called the Jolly Tinker. I like it, except my co-workers can usually be found there and sometimes I just want to get away from them.
I wake up naked every morning and spit nails at a picture of Robert Bly
I was born in a railway station; I don't give a shit anymore
I have ironic blood. The picture is blurred unless you can cut your eyes
the right way and see the ten thousand things
which are one thing. Until you can look at shit and see shit

Good morning ... well I haven't woken up in the wrong bed wearing the wrong things in a long time. 
It is expensive down here in Los Angeles, but the area I photographed is strangely undervalued. Still expensive, but probably not that much more expensive than something decent in the ghetto.
And that's why I am going to work again today. Must work, work, work ... worship that almighty dollar!

I love it! In the next-to-last stanza, is "droppings" maybe too delicate a word?
I'm watching a bee crawl across a sidewalk.
I'm watching a squirrel navigate, acrobatically, through shade trees just breaking into leaf.
Are those things?
I am actually doing nothing at all. Contemplating my navel. dabbling with poems.
I have finally learned to relax.
i just read a very poorly-written novel about Andersonville.
I stuck it out because it was well-researched and the story itself is...

You should tell your Gypsy friend to read Joy Harjo, if she hasn't already.

That's because it's the best word ever.
I don't know if you've ever heard Sleater-Kinney, but the lyrics in the past two days' posts are from their songs. Their music is really beautiful, I recommend them to everyone.

If I write a love poem these days, it's not directed at any one woman. The same goes for this kind of thing:
Fit To Be Impaled
I want you all over the place
in all kinds of ways
I want your 'yes' and your 'no'
together
and later, if we talk, I want it all
hot,
running down my leg,
through the mouth like...

Most of my poems are about FEELINGS moreso than people.. about MOMENTS.. rarely even memories so much as IDEALS...

Talking To The Crows
suppose I walk exclusively backward
reciting parables and innuendo
wind in my head thinking of insults
as crows move interestingly near
forming a text message overhead
out of broken tumultmurder!
I wonder if I might speak. Listen
they stitch an outline of how else it might be
but isn't, and caw stubbornly.
what if my language were one word,
I guess...

I'm wondering if anybody has any idea what this one is about.
Again, yes or no is enough.
If you think you can decipher it, that's good too.
Thanks for your votes yesterday.
I'm culling the really weak ones beforeI get this far with them. Hopefully.
This one was published in the school magazine last year and I've been asked to explain it several times...

I'm having a hard time with the visuals, to be honest. Are they consistent?
Not trying to be a bitch, just trying to be helpful. You're welcome to make similar comments when I post poems. In fact, I'd love it if you did.

Usal
Pelicans fold like shocked hearts over the water
near a fishingboat, cannonballing into scum.
Everything hungers, down to yellowjackets
plundering a scrap from an abalone shell;
down to butterflies lingering against wind
on the yellow tansy.
There's weight to the surf broken up short,
to the cliff. You're there protecting eyes
and lenses from sand bursting around us.

I wish there was only one kind of love. Yes, it would be boring, but at the same time, it would be much easier to choose/cope/understand. I'm in love with various people in entirely different ways but they all feel like the best way and they all feel like The One and it ALL feels like True Love. I hate that the word "One" defines the statement "One True Love."

The idea of spending so much time with one person IS frightening, and rather inconceivable when that person is a hypothetical.
In my opinion, you can only know what you want romantically to a certain degree. It ends up becoming what you want with one specific person. So what I'm saying is: I don't think you have to know if you want to get married again in any abstract sense.
Some of love's best moments are surprises.

Last night I left a bar with someone. I have never done this before. It's a place I go to a lot, and I had seen her before, so it wasn't quite like picking up a stranger. All we did was go out for a burger anyway.

Cats to feed. Haha. What a strange thing to say to someone!
There's no harm in having a bit of a bar adventure every once in a while.
