He worked himself into that most enviable
place
at his diningroom table
on
elbow
leaning over a sheet of paper
slyly
tempted by a brown paper bag
amused
by their naked brown and white skins
they tickled his thinking coerced him to determine the ink he might use
gingerly he fingered a pen dismissed the pencil
the white would obviously take all
comers
as white did
and if brown if he didnt use black ink hed screw himself because
as it was he often was unable to read
what he wrote afterwards
his
mad scribbling putting his words and ideas at risk illegible hard
to unfold
though to be sure
what he eked out of them probably
were better than he originally wrote
and being that he perpetually
rewriotehe squeezed the text for a better word
created inflections
altered space
evolved
he could hardly wait to see what
finally shook out stopped moving too fuckin tired to take another step
while the faces in the trees outside the window nodded or shook their heads to the wind that drove them and the animals the totems who subtly offered advice hidden in the clouds were obscured by thin sleeves of silver rain that rarely fell from California skies he wished the rain like the jabber of a cocky bluejay penetrating the glass was accompanied by peals of thunder and jagged lightning by the pissed off howls and shrieks of a freshborn babe
who detested their new world kicked to the curb tossed from their gardens embrace

too
fuckin tired to take another step
then rolled over and picked through
worked on by a pitiless homeless
who wouldnt dare miss a trick
who would eat a dog off its leash
who would eat a dog off its leash
