after work today
i sat in a chair on the balcony
and read a book
a drying blue flower
fell out of the sky
and landed at my feet

ly would you like to hear about an interesting
gangland murder how about the counselor up on
assault charges with his car let me tell you who has
a messy history of assaulting lovers and
wives how about child molesters there’s much of inter-
est one could learn with regard to those odd fellows or
if this were halloween and not the birthday party
of a swaddled infant there’s the dark tale of the qui-
et guy who drugged his trusting roommate then video-
taped what they did together a genuinely night-
mare-
inducing story sure to keep the children up for
days oh then there’s the matter of conditions in the
jail that’s a perennial favorite plus ça change

so creamy and smooth i think i’ll have another drink
