old and nothingness

Post title

-Fragment of a painting by Carlos Navarro 

(and color tweaked a little by me in photo shop)

Crass Etching

 Junked up, crashed out and ruined

The cards are silky wet

Stretched out, pulled taut and ready

Hit me with the straight teaching

baby

Dry simple and emptied ground

The wind brought leaves called "happiness"

It made no difference to the 

Threshing floor

Cats kill snakes in the grass and there is an old

49 ford four-door covered with ivy up the road

The moon is full and it is

foggy cold and wet before warm bed by the fire

No thought left for selling 

some one already paid

"yes i am unhinged and loose so what"

I am trying not to smoke!

said the long blue wool coat with the hood

to the street color plasma localities swirled up in magnetic vortices

 swirling around downtown

and the cops harassing some fat homeless dude

on the back of a truck without shoes

Well right now I guess they all

have their feet up on the Ottoman

in front of the goddamned giant drug box

While outside the shadow man smokes

and watches the alien street light parade

that nobody "believes" in 

It's all true baby, even the vampires are real

white quick and without mercy

wormholes all over the damn planet

& the General was on his knees with a wrench

his head inside the giant drone ship

chipped with the latest cut edge AI

"We build the tools and then they build us"

He said to the electric eye watching him 

quietly thinking quickly

 about planting an apple tree

or raising snakes

& Sledge sat on the edge of the cold hard sidewalk

 cigarette hot and good

and said to Kid Tiger, "hey man, is this stuff shot

or is there one more eat in there? "

and he waved the bag of corporate chicken up at the night

& a Man drove by looking for an electric escape

from oppressive sadness

in high heeled boots and a dress 

all the while

dreaming and driving as he drove to pick up his kid

& the Moon kept on going while sleep came and is coming

over the iridescent allure of the sound and the word

of dark infinite space 

Just one hop above the foggy smear of coldness

called the sky tonight

blackness in the face of noon/

destrudo pulls hard to break the view

skeleton mirror and the face and the hands/

your white body & black hair and the burning sands

- song lyric fragment

Saw a bumper sticker that said,

"don't believe everything you think"

"What bitter blanks in those

 black-bordered marbles 

which cover no ashes ! " 

-from Moby Dick by H. Melville

Save it all

Save it all

For the lonely view

Save it all 

Save it all

For the love in you

Save it all

 Save it all

For the lonely few

-me

"I was walking down the street one night and I saw a broken selfie

and next to it was a box of cookies and then the moon shined bright

cookies, oh cookies

how I love you 

oh cookies"

-Juniper, 6 "The cookie song"
