two norths strong+free
we came upon a dark wood i believe the Inferno of Dante
begins this way in any case the dark wood is here to stay
but this stretch of life presents another way
exitfinal lastchance lastdance
today my barista fell in love with my glo in the dark skull pin
she collects them too headhunters of the macabre we waxed
poetic on their smooth chaulkybeauty brainsalad removed
she remarked: this may sound strange but by the look of your
head i can tell yours is beautiful best pick-up line i have heard
in a long time
Prince Hamlet opined: We are born astride a grave but some are so
afraid it colours how they live in fear in flight indentured slaves
to Mr. Reap + an eternal night
husband number 3 is currently dealing with an NDE this morning he told me
about magnetic north and true north you see he is a forest ranger boy scout
red beard red chuck taylors who often slept in shrubbery
it’s secluded +warm +you rarely find a hobo there apparently they know the
best sleeping-rough places which often reek of urine cigs +freedom i wish i
had realized sooner that he is entirely undomesticate-able
a bear or horse or buffalo here incognito
i would have seriously lowered my expectations he belongs on the river with
Becky Thatcher a now brawny woman in Greb Zodiacs with muscles +the faint
scent of sourmilk she a wet-nurse to otters and the like ie., his 1st wife
he would agree that he loves me for my bitchy urban-queen vibes though as a
child i wandered ravines chased wildducks +was chased by lostboys +a future
matricidal maniac in a Javelin
it seems to me that if there are two norths (!) you never have certainty about where
you really are so STOP microplanning everysinglefuckingminute of your existence
eat the worm sleep rough seduce many Gods
it beats aimless success
+the worship of mammon
