walk to cemetery in new 20 rivet docs

child's mind pays the price
hefty damage, not so nice
four more on a custard pie
never thought to drain that guy
what's up uncle bob?
never show us your dinner
late night in the sea grass
while the cool wind blows
mystified to spark a fire
sweet mercedes color of rose
fire hydrant six o'clock
smells a bit like lemon drop
barefeet soldier sweet
sugar cane, pretty dame
my oh my aren't we elite
metalglassplasticgators
relevant eye overseas
dairy whip  good lord smitten
bury me happily underneath
your lace
and i'll pick up my pace
struggling to be legible
surely some rain is feasible
he was a drip to the very last drop
fly finds my pen and i interesting
shoo-fly.  or not.

(turn page)

armpits calculate this california
day to be too f**king hot
blisters form now
sweat drips off my brow
i stand at Xing, writing
cars go by
wet road is a mirage
drink from a garden hose; i love this country.
walk on tip toes; avoid excrutiating pain
birds chirp merrily
ah blast a million
	no trash the zillions of
	appetizers on borgeois
	plates.
