in the meantime
i have been put on notice
that i am on the watch list
at the library
a simple misunderstanding
while speaking to the librarian
i noticed what i assumed was a fly
on her bare shoulder
as is the custom in these parts
i leaned over to lick off this fly
but it did not budge and i just
barely put a tooth on it
it was a mole and not a fly at all
but the librarian screamed and called
in the referee 
the referee agreed and said it was an
honest mistake but advised i wear my glasses
and not lick at any insects smaller than
a locust

"I hate it and avoid it, because it is not play
enough that is too grave and serious a diverversion,
and I am ashamed to lay out as much thought and study
upon it as would serve to much better uses."

"My specialty is living..."

                                           your brain on vegetables

something i picked up yesterday
looks like a dried armadillo brain
but it is not
look
i need to make a retraction
i took a photo of a plane
i thought it was a drone
because i am stupid
there are only three people who
have ever read this blog
a police woman
sex crimes division
a lawyer
out of work
and a retarded person
myself
the lawyer said
that is a commercial plane
and we will sue you if you
do not make a retraction
but just to show i have nothing
against drones i will make an
argument in favor of drones
within the last year there was
a research plane which crashed
and the two researchers were killed
they were doing wildlife surveys
probably these surveys could have been
done with one of those 300 dollar
4 electric motor 2 camera drones
they sell online
lots of work can be done with these
drones which will make people safer
so go learn to fly a drone

i heard of a gathering of friends of ken
last week
or was it just a prank
i read some of kens writing
i watched some of kens films
i just dont like pranks
someone said that not many people
showed up for the ken gathering
they said it was because ken is a has been
those who say that are
never were's
mr ken has a solid place in literature
and a more solid place in as an influential
thinker and person who sought to advance
societies world view
he said himself he wanted to live a life
be a person of action
and not just a writer
he was a person of a lot of action
and he made a difference
thanks ken

was making the rounds this morning
snatching cans and bottles
always stop at the bridge to see what
kind of trash is floating in the backwash
yep several plastic bottles
i jump the fence to get them
i disturb a hornets nest
they sting my sorry self
i grab the trash and toss it ashore
i jump the fence again
they sting me some more
no good deed goes unpunished
actually because i usually feel
superior when i pick up trash
the hornets were probably saying
here ego boy hows about some comedown
then a hundred yards down the sidewalk
the tires go left
i go right
and the cans and bottles come down
between us
i walk over to the can 50 yards away
which is where i was headed when i
fell flat
i carry on
the baskets are filled now
a local detective suggests i go to
the college to get cans
he says there are a lot of cans there
these folks like to send me places
where i can be put under suspicion of
doing some heinous crime
i camp in the mountains for a week
within hours of my return to town
i am pulled over by the local constabulary
officer mumbles
running a red light
it was yellow
he sniffs the van
looks around for incriminating evidence
gets all my papers wet in the rain
not guilty
anyhow being a suspect can be a very
trying experience
for these last 20 years or so i have
been much suspected
but eventually i learned that it is
all a part of the game
i learned that from folks like
mr ken

still it is very distressing
to be constantly under harassment

but i dont feel like selling out

"My specialty is living said
a man (who could not earn his bread
because he would not sell his head)

"If I devote myself..."

                                  slime mold   our friend

are we having fun yet
sitting here in the lie bury
watching home movies
of sigmund freud
what does that tell you
about my life
sexual repression
every where i look
sunday was interesting
biking the bike trail
snatching cans and bottles
i see a plastic bag
i will pick it up with the grabber
the left hand works good
the front brake works good
the brain
not so much
i am laying crumbled
on the sidewalk
surrounded by cans and bottles
bruised and disgusted
but not stopped
i pick up my cans
and dignity
and the plastic bag
a more cautious and
bruised biker
saved by the helmet again

listening to the radio
pundit talking about
a few folks who have
the most money
what a novel idea
not really
you hear it ten times a day
occupy
occupy
please
that is not a solution
the solution is to
start a peoples bank
a peoples employment service
a peoples insurance company
it is all legal
and very possible
listen to ralph nader
he is still alive and kicking
he says there is no place for
pessimism
and we must get on
with changing the system

"If I devote myself to other pursuits
and contemplations, I must first see
at least, that I do not pursue them

"The courtesan Flora..."

                                  drone overhead yesterday-eugene, or.

probably just looking for rare birds
yeah right
pretty big drone
could hold a dozen or so people

lots of sex talk this week
nut case with too many guns
shoots folks cause he
feels rejected
1901-1908 belle gunness
of indiana
murders 14 men suitors
may have killed 42 people
never caught
count your blessings pal

here in dysfunction junction
there is talk of who is guilty
of possibly rapeing a woman
one letter to the editor says
it was group sex consensual
the female says it was rape
the men says it was not
the district lawyer says
he wont prosecute
the female faction screeches
for justice
promiscuity
means lots of sex
however
even a woman who has lots of
sex
even a woman who has lots
of sex for money
any woman
at any time has the right
to say
no
not now
finish it
be gone
men do too

never lay with Pompey, but that

"The great quality of true art
is that it rediscovers, grasps
and reveals to us that reality
far from which we live, from
which we get farther and
farther away as the conventional
knowledge we substitute for
it becomes thicker and more
impermeable."

"Some of mankinds most terrible misdeeds..."

                                 the guy standing next to me

i am sitting here in the
lie bury
tap tap tapping out my
blog
i am watching a documentary film
on the mac
the goebbels experiment
it is very interesting
on the wall is a photo
of a local guy
someone said i dont like
locals
that is not the case at all
i dont like those folks
who want to abuse their
influence
and deprive me of my civil rights

i spent 4 days gathering signatures
to get a couple of
laws on the ballot in the fall
one of the laws is a 34 page
proposal to make pot legal
sort of legal
i read all 34 pages
there were lots of people
who wanted to sign the petition
none of them read all of it
so i thought i would mention a few
of the items in the bill here

a private person can grow 4 pot plants
and have 8 ounces of pot in the house
if you want to be a pot seller you must
pay 250 bucks to apply
and 1000 bucks a year
pay 35 bucks per ounce of bud
10 bucks per ounce of  leaf
and five buck per immature plant
that you sell 
the state hopes to collect
100 million bucks in pot taxes
40 percent will go to schools
now we get to some weirdness
you cannot let the plants be in public view
you cannot maintain an unsanitary establishment
you cannot be in the habit of using
alcohol, habit forming drugs, or pot
to excess
pretty funny huh
also you must be of
good repute and moral character
pretty funny
anyhow i am not sure who is going to be
on the morality and repute panel
but i doubt if keith richards could
go into the pot business here
me neither maybe
and i am as moral as
well as
as some other people
anyhow

"And may we heed.."

                                 yellow rumped (audubons) warbler

not much of a picture really
but someone said it was a rare bird
for this area
i sit around and eventually
i am part of the landscape

i never liked birders too much
they scurry
or is it flitter
about and usually scare
away the wildlife
but they are doing an important
service for documenting
what is happening with the
wildlife populations
its those damned life lists that
bother me
look what i have seen
i thought i saw a chimp
in the everglades once
but i just chalked it up to
chemical aberration's in the brain

i spent a week in the woods
praying
thats what i like to call it
being outdoors is praying
for me
i have not slept indoors
that is to say
in a house
or building
for nearly a year now
hope to keep it up
rather than succumb
to the hopelessness
of
acceptance

i was especially attentive on
easter sunday
and remembered something
that i read in one of my books
so i got out the book

"And may we heed the solemn
admonition set forth in this book-
not to fritter away in the worthless
doings of this world the supreme
opportunity afforded by human birth,
lest by our spiritual improvidence
we depart from this life spiritually
empty handed."
 Easter Sunday 1955 -w.y. evans-wentz
preface to the third edition of
"the tibetian book of the dead"

i wonder sometimes if i am
frittering or not

got to go
stay heedful
