Police Precinct, ca. 1979."

"Long ago,
I decided that life was so absurd
I might as well kill
Myself.

But later,
I realized that life was so absurd,
It wasn't worth
Killing myself over!

After that I was
OK.

So I just hung
Out my shingle, said ~ 'Gone

Fishin!'"
~ Double-A

"I'm so pleased your insanity,
O, so well financed!

Do you work over at Bedlam
Or Bellevue,
Or volunteer
At your local shelter?

The rich can afford to be eccentric ~
Build a moat, line your chambers
With sound-proof cork from the finest wines,
Hire the finest chefs ~

Go fly fishing,
Cast their nets in Acapulco .

While the rest fear
So dreadfully the future,
Fret for their Social Security
For our social endowment, so unsecured.

Forget the rest ...

But alas, the poor cannot afford eccentricity,
Practical they must be,
Lest they loose their electricity,
Their roof, their health insurance,

Living
One day to the next,

One's security
Nothing more than this week's income ~

No margin, or net,
For a missed week's work,
An hourly fee.

That's a hell worth dieing over,
And many do,
As fear's enough to paralyze one,

Sicken, strike down, a stopped heart ~
Take away all foresight that life, cause, effect,
Extends beyond tomorrow

Or today.

And if ill,
Do you seek a mender for your wound,
A licensed practitioner, someone
With appropriate expertise?

Or a preacher for
Your soul,

To heal?
Or do you just go fly ~ fishing, or

Visit Canyon Ranch
To heal your ills?

Or do you delay, for fear,
For fear your healer hurts you,
Humiliates you,
For fear of lost income, or lost savings,

Until too late?"
~ Twittering

Hand to mouth,
As they say ~

Leaves no flexibility
For unleashed imagination.

Hug the shore, one must,
If a life raft unaffordable.

Hyper ~
Vigilance, one must cultivate,

Or risk ~
Loosing everything."
~ Folly

"Until lost,
Exhausted,
Or living off the street."
~ Twittering

"After
Loosing everything."
~ Folly

"... living off the street,
Going no where in particular,

But down hill, O, too
Rapidly."
~ Twittering

"O know!
I want my underpants.
I know she didn't tell me to leave them on ~
I would have remembered if she had.
Instead, she's got me sniffing hers.
Tres lovely, yes, but still!
Low! know!
Underpants aren't something
you take off like a hair ribbon.
I'm burning with shame.
Sniff, sniff, yes, her panties, tres kewl!
But still! Looking closer ~ yes,
Her pubic hair seems very thick
And very dark. Sniff, sniff ~
Lovely, yes, these red silk panties
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to come back post haste
Tres fast!
Sniffin, lickin her..."
