Normally, I can copy and post a whole months' poems onto
this Blogger Thing. It did not let me do that this month, so
I broke it down into five parts of twenty pages each. Have fun.
If you want to read it in the order that it was written

May 2013 K Poems
Wednesday, June 5, 2013
I like it hot and cold at the same time.
I like Jackson Browne
and I like Black Flag.
I like Josef Islam
and I like Fear.
………………………………….
Still in the shadows
I like him, because I don’t know him.
If I knew him, I probably wouldn’t like him.
He would turn out to be like
you. Or me.
…………………………………….
Sometimes people get outside of each other
They don’t call.
Or drop by.
You told them not to.
Oh well.
……………………………………..
Find a happy path. Take it.
It might not be the path
that you been on. It might
not be where you thought
you were going, but it’s the
road you’re on now.
………………………………………..
Don't let your dog eat chemicals.
There could be grass
in it.
…………………………………….
Suckers
My name is Cap Italst.
I’m here to destroy the planet.
………………………………….
Spontaneous sobriety
I wanted to make sure
that I never squirted
my nasal spray into
my eye.
………………………………….
Should have left the debris alone
Wow. Cop stopped to clean up some debris
in the road and somebody drove by and killed him.
……………………………………….
Back to the freezer
And thank God
we got a freezer
and stuff in it
when things get
thin in the refrigerator
up above.
……………………………
How to open doors with just a smile?
Dress up. Look pretty. Give away everything
that you are.
………………………………………
Bob Dylan has nothing to lose.
A hundred million
dollar home
living on the street
at the end
you meet the same
maker.
Billion dollar
banker; baker
just making it gonna
extend
to the same hand.
…………………………………………………
Joan has poison oak on her
face and arms. She's
a mess!
I might be getting
poison on me from you.
Give me your poison,
baby.
I'll take it from you
and heal you.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
……………………………………………………
Having it there
And, since I have it on my hands
my hands will touch every place
else, and I will have it there.
……………………………………………………..
Little Miss Charisma Dogma
She’s all over town.
She’s all over magazines.
You see her every night
on the tv.
We hear about the bad
things that she done.
First there was Paris,
and then Brittany,
and then Lindsay.
Now we got Amanda.
……………………………………………………
I m just a guy in recovery
Recovered from the back
seat of police cars: handcuffed,
headed to the drunk tank,
once again.
Recovered from standing
in front of the judge;
disheveled, hung over, waiting
to hear what was next.
……………………………………….
I kissed her and she called the cops
She wasn’t The
Governor’s daughter.
She wasn’t related to
A Judge.
(Thanks to The Beach
Boys for
making me write
this).
…………………………………………
Every time that I hear The Beach Boys
sing, "Barbara
Ann," I think of John McCain
screaming, "BOMB
IRAN," as he was running
for President.
…………………………………………
Life is good when your cell phone battery is fully charged.
There are things you can’t live without: like food and
water,
but it is nice to have a fully charged cell phone battery.
You
can make and receive calls, and you can take pictures. Some
play games on them. Some write poems into them.
………………………………………….
Grow marijuana.
No thanks. It’s illegal here.
We are having great luck, though,
with, especially, one tomato plant.
We resurrected it from the dead,
and it blossomed, today; sure to
bear many tomato with mayonnaise
sandwiches in the near future. We
grow eat and then we eat it.
…………………………………………….
Or would you rather be on the road?
Would you put it in her
if it came with a
lifetime commitment?
Would you put it in her
if you had to then stay with her for life?
And have kids.
And cars.
And houses.
………………………………………………………..
I like my woman hot.
And I like my hot sauce mild.
Mikel K
……………………………………………………….
Should a guy?
Should a guy smoking marijuana be criticizing the man
on crack, or should he love him, and welcome into his heart,
his home, and his wife's pocketbook?
…………………………………………………..
In the old days, I would have
let a drunk man crash on my couch,
‘cept I never had a
couch.
………………………………………………..
Just Do It
It doesn't matter how you spell it.
It doesn't matter how you punctuate.
………………………………………………
Choke Hold
I might have to make it
into a poem, instead of
a book. There are, already,
out there several books
with that title.
………………………………………………….
Even a dog has to think for himself
This dog tried to escape like 19 times, and then on the
twentieth he got away and soon got smashed to pieces and death by a big truck
driven by a big drunk, on methamphetamine, trucker. The trucker got off with
only dog burial costs(he was cremated and thrown out to the sea) because the
dog was in violation of dog leash laws.
……………………………………
What I would change
What I would change about me.
What I would change about you.
I would change me. You could change you,
but only if you wanted to. You are so
perfect right where you are.
…………………………………………..
And we just passed on
She said how are you doing
and I wanted to say I want
to pat your soft little ass, but
I didn’t; I just told her that
I was doing good.
………………………………………..
That will fuck you in the bars?
Are you getting married
or are you fucking everything
that will fuck you in the bars?
Have you settled down or are you
still chasing Playboy Bunnys?
……………………………………………
I only went to jail when I was drinking.
Gosh, oh my, what was
I thinking?
……………………………………………………………….
Do you ever find acorns, or see deer?
Ever pitched a tent?
Ever made a fire.
Ever woken up in the morning
and made breakfast even better
than it is at home.
…………………………………………………..
Dead
I’m your said and done
and now you’re looking
over me with sympathy
and despair. You were
guilty, but you still loved me.
…………………………………………………..
Getting to the top
I’m going to get to the top
but I don’t know where I’m going
I keep charging and charging and
charging ahead. But I feel like I am
going backwards.
…………………………………………….
It’s all relative
Is it good when your
therapist calls you eccentric
Well, it’s certainly
better than a judge saying you are guilty.
Or a cop saying to
you you’re busted.
Or a doctor telling
you have cancer, or the crabs.
……………………………………………..
Silly Thought
Do you remember that song
where the guy sand, “They’re
coming to take me away
ha ha,
and he would let out this insidious laugh?
………………………………………………
Can you walk to the beach?
Can you walk to the beach
or is it out of your mind?
…………………………………………….
There are people out there
There are people out there
with real problems. Can we
all say a prayer for those folks?
There are people out there
with so so problems. Can I
hear an Amen?!
………………………………………………..
The Bird just killed Rod Stewart
and now she is
chasing Bob Dylan
around his home with
a knife.
………………………………………………….
Oops
Poets should have limos
but they don’t.
……………………………………………………
Lady bugs are beautiful
Lady bugs are beautiful
but in abundance I have heard
that they can be a pain in the ass.
………………………………………………………
Clicking onto the News Website
Maybe there will be a new story.
How many more people who were famous
but I never heard of them have died
since the last time that I clicked on
this News Website.
……………………………………………………..
Mostly
In certain very small places, I am a big man.
Mostly, I’m just another schmuck standing in
line waiting to pay for groceries, though.
……………………………………….
Have you ever stolen/they are after you
Have you ever stolen a candy bar?
A pair of sneakers? An hour off the clock?
A car. A bottle of whiskey from behind
the bar when the bartender had her back
turned? An airplane ticket? A magazine?
A heart? A soul? A mind?
………………………………………………….
Everything seems
a drag.
I’m surrounded by guitars
that I’m still paying for
that I’m not playing.
I’m off the pink pill
and feeling normal: depressed
and lethargic. Everything seems
a drag.
………………………………………………
Traffic Light
I get so lonely when I am without you.
And I’ve never met you.
…………………………………………………
The State Senator
“Are you still with that chink?”
“My husband isn’t a chink,”
said the young lady.
“He’s a Mexican.”
“Well, aren’t Mexicans chinks?”
said The State Senator.
……………………………………………………..
But there was something about you
You weren’t much in the kitchen.
Often got speeding tickets in the car.
Stayed out late. Quit jobs.
But there was something about you.
…………………………………………………….
Confession Booth
When you got down
on your knees, Jesus
started to pray.
……………………………………………….
I ve been given
I’ve been given
a body and a mind
by The Lord.
My body hurts a lot
and nobody understands
my mind.

…………………………………………………
I see you
I see what I am is holding me down.
I see what I am is holding you down.
…………………………………………………
How are you today?
I’m avoiding County Jail
and State Prisons.
I’m not trying to figure out
what day it is in a mental institution,
so it’s a pretty good day.
…………………………………………………
Oh my God. How do I find
these kind of people? Or
how do they find me?
…………………………………………………..
When?
When to keep your mouth open,
and when to keep your mouth shut?
K

Everybody just smiled
He showed up at the door of AA
saying, “Give me three steps,
and a sponsor. I’m ready for that
fourth step, this time.
………………………………………..
Isn t it amazing how with all the billions
of people on this earth that you can still
do something that no one will ever know about?
If you could do one thing undetected,
what would it be?
…………………………………..
If you really needed me
I would always see you
with a smile on your face.
……………………………………………
I ll be right behind you with no noose
I’ll bet that somewhere
there is someone
doing worse than me.
………………………………………………………………….
Last Night
She said that she got into the bed, last night,
smelling like cut grass and sweat, and that I
didn’t notice; wouldn’t even talk to her… I’m
like that when I’m asleep!
………………………………………………………………….
I’m starting to sound like an old Rod Stewart song
I say this, and the next song is him singing
“Here Comes The Rain,” by CCR.
……………………………………………………………………….
Ive gotten to know each section and aisle of the store.
I stay away from the wine aisle
but I’m not scared of it like I used to be.
If the soda is on the same aisle as the wine
I will go down there and get me a bottle
of ginger ale. I don’t always get me a yogurt
but somedays I do. I buy milk. I know
that it is bad for me(and the cow), but
what can you do. I can drink my coffee black
with stevia and ice, thank you, but I prefer not to.
Thank you.
…………………………………………………………..
Hey I’m not going to pay you
The movers are coming.
Where are we going?
Am I going with you,
or is it me who is moving?
…………………………………………………………
I ll always be in the whole
Ain’t no fortunate son
I ain’t the one.

Notes from a man under the influence
Under the influence of love.
Of dope. Of stupidity. Of charm.
Of perseverance. Of money.
Of things. Of waves on an ocean
a long way away.
………………………………………………………….
People suck when they don’t do
what I want them to do.
And when I want nothing
from them, they are fine.
………………………………………………..
There is nothing more to life
than this and that. This and
that have to be dealt with.
And then you move on.
………………………………………………
Profound K Thought of The Moment:
You can’t say that you are bohemian.
Either you are or you’re not, and you
don’t have much to do with it.
……………………………………………….
I ve lied and I ve been lied to
Not sure where I’m going with this one.
I want to point the finger at her. Things change
so what you said wasn’t a lie. Something like that!
I like this title, but really have nowhere
to go with it but the title…

I JUST REALIZED THAT I HAVE POSTED FOUR DAYS
OF JUNE POEMS IN THIS MAY CONTAINER OF POEMS.
WELL, SHIZZAM….
You've heard of The Dagwood.
Well, this is The K.
(Sandwich and Photo
by K).
It sucks when you get a number of notifications, on
Facebook,
and they are from someone you don’t know and don’t care
about.
It clogs up your space. And time.
Do you realize that the first sip you take
out of any cup of water is a virgin kiss to that water?
I'm starting a band called Rolling Roses and Guns.
In it I will star as a character who is either a
cross-between
or crosses over Axl and Mick.
I found my finger in my nose this morning emerging with a
huge green and red booger on it. I did not want to flick it on my floor, so I
flicked it in the direction of one of the dogs, sort of hoping that it would
land on him, and then wind up outside when I took the dog out to piss.
I think that she is coming through for me
so I could go ahead and use up what I have,
but I won’t just in case she doesn’t.
The dogs always know when it is close to 9am, and they know
when it is close to 6pm, as these are their feeding times. They will start
growling at me at about a half hour out from these times, and will start
barking at me as we get closer to my putting food in their bowls.
I was down to the last puff of pot that I would have for two
weeks. And then the last puff turned into half a puff, and I was forced to go
with that until some money arrived.
Sometimes, I come up with titles for poems, and I will write
the title down, and then never write the poem. Titles are scattered through
folders in my hard drive. Come on baby love me. Let’s go inside.
We may not have much, but we got the fancy, expensive
ketchup, the one that stands upside down. That should count for something,
shouldn’t it?
I decided to start the trek over to search for a publisher
for my book of poems, “Love and other things Insane.” The first stop was Google
because I was totally cold-calling, I had not one friend nor associate in the
business and I was wanting in.
Showing results for where to publish your book of poetry,
“Love and other things Insane.”
If I had more, I would; you know what I’m saying. Tee hee.
Tee hee.
I was down to the last puff of pot that I would have for two
weeks. And then the last puff turned into half a puff, and I was forced to go
with that until some money arrived.
I still need to do the dusting. Man, I hate dusting.
And the microwave
buzzer keeps going off, it's obnoxious,
and it won't stop
until I get my raspberry zinger herbal tea
out of it. I hate
when I create my own problems. Life would
just be so much more
sensible to not do things that way.
With cell phones, my need to keep my kids pictures in my
wallet, disappeared. I have the smallest possible wallet and my goal is to get
one even smaller. Amazing all the trash they force us to carry in out wallets.
Couldn't they just put an implant me, and let me roll thru the detector.
There is some stupid that background checks are not going to
figure out.
I wish I had four of those big gumbo things,
the kind you find in
bubble gum machines inside
of fancy stores, and
other such places.
Seek help. Grab a white chip, or something.
“Thank God every morning when you get up that you have
something to do that day, which must be done, whether you like it or
not.”--James Russell Lowell
“You live longer once you realize that any time spent being
unhappy is wasted.” Ruth E. Renkl
You're being too loud and suspicious looking.
Historically, I have not been the world’s biggest forgiver.
I rather let time take away all that was bad about a situation. After I haven’t
seen folks in a while, I can’t even remember what I was mad about in the first
place. And, hopefully, neither can they!
These was big men. And there was big money on the stage.
And each one of them had come to win. Win, no matter what.
These men would kill you to win, whoever you were that got
in
their way or could enable them onto the victory. They were
like characters out of a Bob Dylan song, Bob singing on one of this
recent cds.
You know what I’m going to do about it? I’m going to stay
out of it. I’m going to bite my tongue, and take a run from the scene of the
accident. Don’t help to make me be another skeleton that didn’t have to die
today.
Oh my god pressure, oh ho pressure
here we go, oh no, dear god please save us
dear god please slow things down and let
us get up off the hit parade.
Oh God don’t let this thing land upon us.
Oh God is there anywhere we can go to save us?
Who can help? Is anyone listening? Am I talking
to myself?
Out of all the cookies that I have eaten, this is the one
that I ate with the most regrets because she was the most beautiful cookie that
I had ever been entertained with. It was a beautiful Guitar Cookie, given to me
by Keren Lippo, and her new cd presenting, "Gypsy Road," possee!! The
cookie was delicious to taste. I'm glad that I didn't let it sit there and get
yukky by preserving it for something stupid.
Our new gold fish Patsy is not moving about much. Joan says
maybe it is culture shock that the fish feels as if she has moved from NYC to a
store front in Albany, Ga. Perhaps she feels like the gal in Green Acres who
was always screaming, “City Life!”
We watched the baby turtles, George and John, eat tonight.
It was such fun to see the small things(each not much larger than my
thumbnail)gulp the small baby food down that I had put in their water for them.
There is a peace sign in their tank. Watching them move about their home is very
zen for me, meditative. They are so
graceful and watching them makes me calm, puts me in the
now. There is nothing but the turtles and I, when I tune into them: no evil
corporations, no war, no traffic, no meanness of any kind. Joan is beginning to
get addicted to them, also, though she is more a fan of The Bird.
I kick in Dear Mr. Fantasy by Traffic to start the day. John
Lennon, our new baby turtle, sticks his head out from underneath
the large rock that he has slept under to see what the music
is all about. I read an article, yesterday, that said that turtles love music,
as long as it is not played too loud.
I leave the room, to get some dental floss.(There is one
tooth in the very back of my mouth that
always grabs a bit of whatever it is that I eat. It is a real pain in the ass,
or mouth, rather). The bird starts squawking and I fancy that she is squawking
because I have left her, though I have no proof of this. She is a moody being.
Sometimes, I think that she cares about me, and, sometimes, I think that she
wants to sink her beak in my neck.
My partner, Joan, is an amazing woman in so many ways. She
is smart, sexy, creative, kind, caring, loving. Yesterday, she undid thirteen
screws in our vacuum cleaner and fixed the broken machine by cleaning out an
ungodly amount of dog and cat hair. Several weeks ago, she fixed the plumbing
in our kitchen, putting in a new pipe, saving us hundreds of dollars in plumber
fees.
I can barely bang a nail into a wall, so it is that I look
to my woman for help in fixing things about the house.
It’s a great day to be alive.
Living with a woman, I am constantly having to raise the
toilet seat, and loving that woman as I do, after using the toilet, I try to
remember to always put the seat back down. It might just be the simple things
that make a relationship work, that when you add up all the simple things, they
become something more, something that solidifies the relationship like super
glue does most everything that it touches. I want my relationship cemented
solidly.
The nature of my guitar playing lends itself much more to
playing unplugged than it does cranking it electric. You can’t tell how lousy I
am when I play it unplugged. About a minute into practicing, this morning,
there were loud crashing sounds from the hallway bathroom. I ran to the
facility and found my cat, Kobain, knocking over Joan’s ceramic angels and
doves, in a vain attempt to sit on the open bathroom window sill. Kobain has never
tried to sit in this window before, though he does love to sit in open windows.
Kobain has, also, recently started to jump up on the bureau in the bedroom,
knocking over framed pictures. Why is he suddenly embarking on new territory?
I’m a moron. The cable was stuck on Channel 3. I did
everything I could to fix it, including Googling the problem. Then I called a
tech at Comcast. He worked with me for about a half hour. Nothing that he did
worked. I was very frustrated, and, I believe, so was he. Then I looked on the
arm of the couch and saw the cable company’s remote. I had been using the wrong
remote, which worked to turn the tv off, and work the volume strangely.
I just put both of my dogs in the kennel that Joan had built
for her dog Pretti Penni in the back of this old brick house. Penni loves to
hang out in the kennel, but my dogs don’t. They both pulled hard on their
leash, to resist going in, as I opened the gate to put them in there with
Penni, to get a couple of hours of sunshine.
Dylan, I had to leash to the fence, as he, somehow, knows
how to get out of the kennel. He is sitting happily, now, seeming to be in good
spirits about the whole thing. Wrong. Dylan, half Rottweiler, the bad half, has
started barking at invisible chipmunks and squirrels in the woods back behind
of the kennel. Dylan has, also, burrowed in the dirt, making himself a comfy
bed. Morisson is standing by the exit gate, acting as if he expects me to come
release him any minute, now.
I am playing The Jackson Five. The bird is singing along
with Michael. The baby turtles, John Lennon and George Harrison, are swimming,
happily, from one end of their aquarium.
My turtle, Rue Paul, still has not figured out that the
floating basking rock that she used to lay upon, so happily, in her old tank,
to bask upon under the heat light, is in place in her new aquarium, at the
exact height that it was placed in her old tank. I have even put a rock
underneath it for her to climb up on to get to the basking rock, but, so far,
three or four days into her new aquarium, Rue has not figured out that the rock
is accessible to her. I’m not sure if she is a stupid turtle; but I thinks not.
Over the eight or so years that we have been together this turtle has showed
her brain to me in many situations. I’m sure that when Rue is ready, she will
mount the basking rock and catch her some heat waves. With turtles, patience is
certainly a virtue.
If a Catholic boy or
girl chants, "Hare Krishna,"
while listening to a George Harrison song, is he,
or she, sinning in the eyes of the church?
I hear some losing my religion coming on…
If you are playing Motley Crue and the song,
"Shout at The
Devil," comes on, and you find
yourself singing,
"Shout. Shout," are you worshipping
The Devil?
The baby turtles are eating. It does my soul good to see
them enjoy a meal, knowing that one day they will be grownup turtles.
I don’t believe in Satan. Satan is a concept developed to
keep people in line by others who wanted to rule them. If God is good
then there must be something bad. If there is no Satan, does
it follow that there is no God: in my book no. I choose to turn my will over to
a Higher Power, who I, mostly, choose to call God. I find life easier living it
with faith, though I do not know exactly what, or whom, it is that I am having
faith in.
I was raised Catholic as a kid, and left the church when I
was nineteen. I was at one of the new Sunday night masses that the church had
started offering, and I looked over and saw a guy who I was in a frat with
sitting in one of the pews.
WHAT is HE doing here I thought to myself. Last night he was
getting drunk and trying to get laid at a Fraternity Party populated with young
sorority gals. Then I looked at myself, I had gotten drunk, myself, and I had
gotten laid. I then realized that I was not living the life that the church
said that I should live, so I walked away from the church. When I sobered up,
some thirteen years later, I tried going back to the church, but what I was
hearing from the priests mouths did not jive with what I saw around me, and
believed in.
I have no problem with whatever religion you choose,
whichever God you choose to follow, just, please, don’t try to stick your God
up my butt.
I lived in Tallahassee from 75 to 79, drinking my way out of
FSU one class short of a business degree. Go Noles!!!!
I think that Joan said that birds were attracted to fresh
cut grass.
Looking out my back
window I see a robin, a male cardinal. and
a blue jay frolicking
in the lawn that I just cut.
She barfed on my penis, and then got out of the car, leaving
her bag of pot behind. I was not a huge pothead, at the time, but I found the
gift to ease the embarrassment of what had just happened.
The Cocksucker who kidnapped and raped three young
women in Cleveland
was just handed an $8 million bond,
after whimpering to
the judge that he should have a low bond
set because he was
collecting unemployment. What a fucking pig.
The guy should never
set foot outside of jail again, and if they fry him, I won't lose any sleep about it.
Why don't The Stones feature Darryl Jones in band
pictures(as a member of the band?) He has been playing with them since 1993.
Mick Taylor was considered a band member for the 5 years that he played with
The Stones How long does he have to anchor the bass to be considered a
"real" member?
Today is Friday, and on Monday, my therapist, and I, made
the decision to take me off of lithium, because an overabundance of it in my
blood, last week, put me in the hospital for two days with some weird side
effects. I have been on lithium for approximately 25 years. It has done me well
until this point for this bi-polar disorder that I have.
We are tapering me off the drug slowly. The first two days I
took 3, not 4, 330 mg, pills. After that, for two days, I took two pills, and, now, I am on one pill,
until I get a lithium level taken, an liver enzyme check, and check back in
with my therapist, again. My therapist has mentioned Depakote as a replacement
pill.
I am doing well on less lithium. I have not gotten extremely
manic. I have not gotten depressed. I do have more energy, and find that my
writing is better, less forced than it has been on the pink pills.

Joan has the worst luck with my cats. Sometimes, one or both,
of them will keep her awake, jumping back and forth from her side of the bed to
the bureau that sits next to the bedroom windows. The other day, one of the
cats tried to get into the bathroom window sill because the window was open,
and he knocked over a couple of Joan’s ceramic angels, and doves. This morning
she took me on a tour of the basement, and showed me where one, or both, of the
cats had pooped on the floor three times. One of the cats pisses in her
bathtub. I have told her that I will get rid of the cats, but, thankfully, she
won’t let me.
…………………………………………………….
I am feeding my baby turtles in a feeding tank, today, for
the first time, instead of letting them eat and poop in their home tank, which
would cause me to have to clean it frequently. Rue Paul, my
full grown turtle eats this way, and it has been a Godsend
to not have to clean her tank every couple of days.
George Harrison started to eat immediately. John Lennon is
crawling the sides of the container trying, it would appear, to get out. There
is no escape. There is only the here and now.
…………………………………………..
Six Flags hired me, two weeks ago, and today when I brought
back all the things that they wanted me to sign, they said that I had to get a
haircut and a shave. ”You can only get away with it if you have a Medical or
Religious, excuse,” said the voice of the corporation. I thought about telling
them that I was a Rasta, and
that not only would I not piss in their cup, even though I
was clean, I wouldn’t cut a hair on my head, or face, for $7.25 an hour. And
you have to buy a uniform from Six Flags before your first small paycheck
arrives. There are certain things you can’t put me through. My gal and my
youngest son both said they would leave me if I shaved and cut the hair.
Religion? I’m losing my religion; here and now.
…………………………………………..
Sex
My Irish Catholic Immigrant parents did all they could to
keep me from having sex, interacting with women in a dating way: early curfews,
couldn't use the phone, the threat of my father's backhand, and or foot, always
present. I didn’t lose my virginity until about a week after I moved out of my
parents’ house. I was high on free will and booze when I did it with the lady.
Sex has meant different times in my life. There was frat boy screwing coeds in
college. There was drunk doorman screwing gals at the bar behavior in Los
Angeles. There was punk rock love with one woman in Atlanta. There was a love
affair that resulted in the birth of my youngest son. There were years without,
and now there is love with my Joan, and I will spare you the intimate details
of our communions.

Making coffee in the kitchen, this morning, was such a
hassle. First, I forgot to put the pot back in the maker after pushing the
start to brew coffee button; and coffee spewed all over the machine and all
over the counter. As I was cleaning up the coffee mess, I knocked over the
container of coffee and spilled coffee grounds all over the floor. We now have the
cleanest coffee corner of an kitchen in the universe. There is a purpose for
everything, and you know that they say that cleanliness is next to Godliness!

Get a job
Six Flags said that I
had to get a haircut and shave my beard
before I could buy a
uniform from them. I won’t have to piss
in their jar, so that
they can see if I smoke pot. I won’t sweat in the hot summer sun for hours at a
time for 7.25 an hour. My youngest son and my gal both said that they would
leave me if I cut the hair and shaved the beard to get the job. Well, the gal
says she didn’t quite say that, but I know that she said that she really likes
the beard and the hair. I wouldn’t want to disappoint her to help Six Flags
sell 3.7 more soft drinks, this summer, liked they bragged about in their
orientation-indoctrination video in the hiring office. Funny thing is they told
me I was hired at first meeting, and didn’t lay down the hair and beard law
until I had come back with all my tax forms and permission to let them have me
piss in a jar papers. I wish them the best. I hope they are happy in their
mansions.

Sometimes, when I add someone to my page, I, briefly, wonder
if they will become an internet stalker of some type, or leave menacing, weird,
or stupid comments for me to view. You have to take the bad with the good, but
having been through a bunch of bad in my time, I try to accelerate the good,
and minimize the bad.

What a beautiful day it is.
The turtles are eating their small green pellets, and the
dried shrimp that I cut up into small pieces for them. I am listening to Steve
Perry sing, sipping on cold coffee and enjoying it for the first time in my
life. I have always detested cold coffee, or ice coffee as it is more commonly
known. I added a teaspoon of stevia, and a smitchen of half and half to some
leftover coffee the other day, as an experiment to see if I would like it, and
to keep from wasting it.
Is there less caffeine in cold coffee. Does the caffeine
somehow disintegrate or lessen in potency while you are chilling it in the
refrigerator? I doubt it. I think that I have found a new way to drink my
coffee.
My friend, Ab the
Flagman, turned me onto a movie that he said that I must watched after we had a
short discussion on religion. It is called Zeitgeist, and it is available on
Netflix so I will watch it soon.

Food for thought...(Response to my question of yesterday,
"Is it a sin to kill ants?"
Brian Cameron:
"The original Hebrew(in the bible) says, "Thou shalt not
Murder," which is very different than killing. If someone tries to murder
you and you kill them instead have you sinned? No, you have not."
Hate is the path to the dark side... always make your
decisions based on what you love, and there can be no sin. for example... don't
murder the ants cause you hate their piles of dirt... this is sinful.
kill the ants to protect yourself and your family cause you
love them and don't want them bitten, then there is no sin."
...............................................
Anita Mahaffey: "I use a mixture of boric acid, corn
meal and peanut butter, or whatever other "bait" they're after, mixed
with water. It takes days, or even weeks to get back to the queen, but once she
dies, the nest is vanquished. I catch the cockroaches (which are very rare in
the house) and feed them to my hens."
................................................
Jinny Rucker: "I don't know, but my mom killed a ton of
them yesterday and prayed for all of them and made the sign of the cross and
everything. She's so funny!"
.................................................
Cj Sullivan: "My 10 year old loves to make an "ant
swimming pool" and sadly, ants can't swim."
..................................................
Pasta Primavera" "I've had ants in my apartment
this year. I found one in my bed and as I was smushing it, I said, " I'm
sorry", so I guess to have that remorseful feeling tells me that it's not
completely right ( to me), maybe, but I would probably do it again.Usually with
lone insects inside, I set them out on the porch."
...................................................
Sallie Allen Forrester: "No if your intention is to
bring balance to your yard and keep them from hurting kids etc. But if you kill
them for fun- shame on you. Young Kids don't really understand and not as
culpable as someone that knows better. But if you enjoy killing ants then it
might be the least of your problems."
...................................................
Osti Mon: "Are they sinning when they invade my home? I
heard grits will keep them down. Ant hills in Athens are humongous and
invasive! Controlling them is necessary."
...................................................
David Nihiserer: "Ortho RAID its good to invade!"
...................................................
Paul Lenz: "is it a sin for ants to bite you?"

Stephane Finley: "Yes!"

George Harrison always starts to eat before John Lennon. I
make no value judgment of this. John always joins Georgeand they munch happily,
together, on bits of dried shrimp that I have cut up for them, and bites of
green floating food pellets that I get from Animart, the wonderful store where
we got our beautiful bird, Dolcinea, from.
I am without my Joan,
today. She is off to hang out with the girls. She just called and said that
there was a bad wreck on the interstate that had both stopped and diverted
traffic. I prayed for the folks in the wreck, and thanked The Lord that Joan
was safe.
I read somewhere that
Paul and Linda McCartney never spent a night apart in their relationship. I
think that is beautiful, and love my time with Joan. I hope that you have a
great day. It is supposed to rain here today, at The Mableton Mansion.

Pill Poppin’
I was feeling like my blood pressure was high. I just
checked it and it was 104/64, which is the lowest that it has been since I
bought this blood pressure checking machine.
“Readings above 90/60 and below 120/80 indicate that the
pressure in your arteries is considered normal for most adults,” according to
Melanie Haiken, Caring.com senior editor.
I take a pill to keep my blood pressure in check. I take a
pill for high cholesterol. I take a pill for arthritis pain. I take a pill to
keep me be from being wildly manic, or curled in the fetal position, crying
like a baby. I take an .81 mg. aspirin a day. I take two pills for diabetes. I
mostly eat healthy. I regularly exercise.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

Someone with a lousy personality shouldn’t be waiting
tables. If you can’t muster up a smile at 2.01 an hour, you should seek
servitude elsewhere. I’m in a good mood, when I eat out, and I don’t want to
suffer the effects of you not having taken your Prozac. Waiting tables is hard
work, but part of the job is being in a good mood. Mostly, people will tip you
more for being charming than they will for being dismal. Trust me, I wore the
penguin suits for years.

Power to whom?
I don’t care if you

each other decently, but we don’t do we?
I love how these men,
and women, who hide behind the name, “Corporation,” call us “Partners,” while
they make millions while paying us $7.25.
“It’s legal,” you will say. Well, ha ha, who made the laws?
When did waiters and
waitresses start getting called, Servers.”
Be honest: at $2.01 an hour they are slaves to the wealthy

My turtle babies, George and John, went, immediately, to
their food, this morning, when I dropped it in their aquarium. They love the
dried shrimp that I cut into little pieces for them, as they enjoy the green
floating pellets that I drop in their water. Joan says that the shrimp is
supposed to make the turtles grow up to be big and strong, fast! I love my
turtles as babies, as I loved my children as babies. It will be fun, and
rewarding, to see my turtle babies grow, as I have watched my children grow. I
thank my Higher Power for this greatest gift that I have: life, which allows me
to enjoy both turtles and children, and so much more.

Don t get me to that church on time
We were coming out of the grocery store. It was pouring
rain. I opened our umbrella and stepped off the curb. A lady in a pickup truck approached. I was
sure, especially with the conditions, and since most folks in vehicles stopped
for shoppers(there are actually two yellow stop signs painted on the pavement
there)that the lady would stop. She didn’t. She accelerated causing us to jump
back. After she passed, I saw Christian symbols all over the back window of her
truck, and thought, well, I sure don’t want to go to church wherever you go!
PS This is not a blanket criticism of all Christians, all
churches, or even all people, just a simple observation from a day in the rain.

A Cherry Cola / Reena Nikolic Moment
Cherry Cola “ It's scary.”
Reena Nikolic And the management over there treat the
workers like dirt - UK counterparts wd be protected by employment rights - heck

they were not treated humanely because there's always another worker in line,
so they have no choice but to accept the ill-treatment or lose their job.
Shameful.

Two Purposes for one thing
Joan brought home an old guitar,
a La Primera L20. It was missing
two turning pegs, and had only
two strings. Joan wants to use
it as canvass, that she will paint,
and place in her garden. I seem
to be angling for looking into
restoring the guitar and seeing what
it sounds like.

I wanted to put some spiritual music on for the morning.
Something cooling, and calming, to make me pacivie and
intuitive. All I could find was Jane’s Addicton. “Been
caught stealing,” was the first song they played for me on that day.
Someone asked why I had propped a white wooden letter K
over a piece of Joan’s art in the living room.
“I’m taking over,” tell her. “My goal,” is to dominate.
Joan just laughed.

Life in the burbs
The dogs love to come home. Whether they have just come from
a visit to the neighborhood, a walk, as we say, or from sunning on the carport,
on leash, my dogs are always happy to be home. They run from the door, tails
wagging, and head to my office, in the back of the house like they are trying
to run The Preakness, or something.
There is a pipe in the basement of this house that always
hits my head when I get near it. It is near the washer and dryer, so I, mostly,
don’t think of it being there ready to hit me, at all. Life in the burbs is
both happy, and can kill you.
Hopefully The Good Lord won’t want me any time soon!

Joan just showed me how to use a weed eater.
I have always hated those things. And today, I hated having
it
turned on in my hands. I dug up a big patch of dirt
outside the rose garden turning that piece of pretty
property
into something that looked like an early grave. Joan took the
weed eater back from after that. A close friend of mine's
mother
got hit in the head by a piece of flying metal, or rock,
and,
instantaneously, became a vegetable for life because of what
the weed eater hurled at her. Be careful people.

“Apologetics (from Greek ἀπολογία,
"speaking in defense") is the discipline of defending a position
(often religious) through the systematic use of information. Early Christian
writers (c. 120–220) who defended their faith against critics and recommended their
faith to outsiders were called apologists”.--Wikipedia

Saying
I am certainly not smarter than Solomon. My dad used to say
that I was too smart for my own good.
It’s a great day to be alive.
I lived in the city for so long that I forgot how
exhilarating landscaping can be. I’m in the burbs, now, and I enjoy getting
some sun, and exercise, mowing the lawn. I have buried some strawberry and
tomato plants. I had sown some pansy and magnolia seeds. One of our small
Halloween pumpkins that Joan left in the front yard by a small tree that she
had transplanted from the woods that sit behind our home have started to
sprout, and, maybe, we won’t have to buy pumpkins, this year, just harvest them
from our front lawn.
I come from drunk tanks and short stays in state mental
institutions. I tried to break down the doors of perception, but all I broke
down, in the long run, was me. I am a miracle. I should be dead or in jail, but
instead I’m growing a garden with a beautiful woman, listening to the birds
sing outside my window.
I give a nod to my Higher Power for saving me, and to my
friends Gigi and Kevin for helping me help myself. My higher power was always
there, even when I was in the wilderness. Gigi and Kevin were always there,
too. They were there when no one else was. The birds were always chirping, but
for years, I couldn’t hear them.
I think that killing in the name of The Lord is probably a
man made concept.
I think somebody is watching me and that if I type certain
words
onto this computer, they are going to bust me for free
thinking.
Six Flags hired me, two weeks ago, and today when I brought
back all the things that they wanted me to sign, they said that I had to get a
haircut and a shave. ”You can only get away with it if you have a Medical or
Religious, excuse,” said the voice of the corporation. I thought about telling
them that I was a Rasta, and
that not only would I not piss in their cup, even though I
was clean, I wouldn’t cut a hair on my head, or face, for $7.25 an hour. And
you have to buy a uniform from Six Flags before your first small paycheck arrives.
There are certain things you can’t put me through. My gal and my youngest son
both said they would leave me if I shaved and cut the hair. Religion? I’m
losing my religion; here and now.
Cutting the grass as I cut out attitudes from the past
I think that I shunned cutting the lawn, here at The
Mableton Mansion, because of my father. Although I cut half of our neighbors’
lawns, back in Hartford, and West Hartford, Conn.,
for cash, as a kid, my dad never let me cut his grass. I
don’t know if he thought that I wouldn’t cut the his grass to his standards, or
if he liked cutting it. My partner Joan loves to cut the grass, but she is
consumed by a real world job. I forget my point on all of this, but, today, I
find it nice to get out in the sun some, get some exercise, make the place look
a little better, and receive the high praise that said partner gives me for
doing what had previously been her job. It’s not a job, here at The Mableton
Mansion. It’s an adventure! I feel some of my father in me as I walk up and
down the lawn with the mower. That would have bothered me in the past because
we did not have the greatest relationship, but each day I realize that there
were many good points to the man from County Cork, and festering on the bad of
him was both juvenile and stupid, and I am neither of those.
No money back at The Door. I've just got one King Dog
Intensely Caffeineted Energy Mints left, and it won't last long.
It’s a long way out of my mind and onto this computer
or this paper in front of me.
I say to the dogs, but they don't believe me
that the folks screaming for The Rolling Stones
on You Tube were really screaming for me.
You can't always get what?
“There is no language like the Irish for soothing and
quieting.”

“I been smoking dope. I been snorting coke;

I am looking forward to doing a drug more than I have ever
looked forward to doing a drug, and there was a time in my life when I did look
forward to doing an assortment of drugs, but this drug isn’t the same as those
old drugs I used to do. This one is for arthritis. It is supposed to take the
arthritic pain in my hip away, and hopefully the arthritis pain in my right
knee, and lower back, also. Don’t expect miracles, I think. And do find out if
it is addictive. It’s not a narcotic. It’s an anti-inflammatory.

On the way to the pisser, it occurred to me how great it was
to be in a monogamous relationship. A lot of people out there were giving and
taking an awful lot of disease. We could have sex any time we felt like it, and
not die because of it, or have all the nasty things that can happen to you,
because of it, happen to us.
Man. Ruin my buzz. I just had to talk to my shrink’s voice
mail, telling the nurse that they had once again phoned in my prescriptions for
pills to the wrong pharmacy. A lady from Delta Pharmacy had called, and left a
voice mail message, telling me that my pills were ready at her place. I have
not been to that pharmacy in years, and had only used it once or twice, finding
them to be a bit unsatisfactory, for what reason, now, I can’t remember. I mean
who’s crazy here, me or the shrink’s office?
It would be really spiritual, right now, to eat one of those
large and tasty chocolate chip cookies that are in our pantry, hidden in there
so that I can’t see them: to avoid the temptation of having one. I’ve been fat,
and I don’t want to be fat again. It doesn’t look good, and it’s unhealthy.
I’m glad that I ain’t snorting coke. What a nasty fucking
drug that is. Put all your stereo equipment and good furniture at another guy’s
house. I never got around coke much, and the one time that I did, it put me on the
street.

You know those peppermint candies that you get at the
hostess station of some restaurants, the kind that show up a bit at Christmas,
too? Well, Joan gave me one of those, the other night, and I just put one in my
mouth. My teeth must be programmed to break hard candy into pieces, because I
do it all the time. This one cracked almost the second that I put it in my mouth.
There must be some deeper meaning to all this.

John Lennon deserted his family and became an adulterer to
become a Beatle, and then spouted love, love, love. What kind of love did he
show to Julian, his son, and Cynthia, his wife, in blowing them off? Julian
calls his father a hypocrite. Is he right? Should we overlook the obvious? Is
John Lennon’s message full of shit? It always hurts when your heroes turn out
to be fallible.
I once thought that I would be a hot shot telephone sales
person.
I got a job with The Atlanta Opera, and I couldn’t sell a
fucking thing. My boss threatened to fire me if I didn’t make some quota, so I
quit on the spot.(I didn’t like being threatened). Then I got a job with The
Democratic Party of Georgia. Things were going a little better here but the
democrats decided to act like Republicans and took away our commission wanting
us to work for pennies above minimum wage. Phone sales is a bitch, and I am a
bastard.
My dog Dylan is a sneaky bitch. Joan forgot something and
came back in the house, today, and found Dylan up on top of the small bookshelf
that sits under the front window in the living room that is usually populated
by the cats. Dylan knows not to get on furniture but his curiosity as to my
whereabouts when I leave the house overwhelmed him.
We were moving some things, this morning from Joan’s office,
and a guy opened the door for me when I was carrying a heavy object. I said
thanks as sincerely and friendly as I could because I was genuinely thankful.
The guy then says, “Do you need any help?”
I said, “No, we just about got it, thanks though.”
Then he says, “I recently found myself homeless.”
This guy had on clothes way better than the ones I had on,
and way better than any that I have in the closet.
What irks me is when someone is acting like they want to
help you
when they are really after something. If I help someone, I
help them and then move on. I don’t stick my hand out for something after
helping them.
I hope the guy finds his way, whatever is up with him. His
nice clothes won’t stay nice if he is really on the streets.
I played The Dead for The Bird a lot, today. She belted it
out, singing madly and intensely. Funny, because I will play all kinds of other
music and she is quiet but put The Dead on and she goes wild.
I’m not sure when I realized that we are the sum total of all
the choices that we have made, and that our behavior can have consequences both
good and bad. It’s my son’s birthday, tomorrow. It was a good decision to have
him.
I hope that your decisions are finding you in a pleasant
place.
I have never seen Joan so happy. She got a new vacuum
cleaner, today. To me that might mean that work is at hand, and I would not be
doing the jumping jacks of joy that she is.
We were in the basement, moments ago, and I had to go to the
bathroom. I said to Joan, knowing full well that there wasn’t, was there
anywhere to take a piss down here?
“No,” said Joan, “but
when you start the revolution, you can have a bathroom put in down here.” You
have to know the poem to catch her sarcasm. What can a poor boy do?
They had their chance but threw stones at me and hung me on
a cross, but I rose again to rule.

It is a day that we do not need space heaters in this
furnace-less house to heat our rooms, and I am very thankful for that. Spring,
officially, begins a week from now on March 20, but here in Mableton, Ga.,
spring has sprung a week early.
I just stuck my hand in the bird’s cage. She bowed her head
to me and let me pet her on the head. On sales calls, which I am now, again,
doing from my home phone I have to worry about her squawking and Dylan and
Pretti Penni barking. Weird office they might tell me. As long as I close the
deal I’ll be happy. “Roll away the dew,” baby.
I was on the chiropractor’s table at 8:10 a.m. this morning.
The girl administering the machine that massages my back kept asking me if I
wanted more. When done there I moved to another table, the one where the wooden
knob-like thing rolls up and down your spine for about 20 minutes. This
chiropractor has yet to lay a hand on me in several visits. He has talked about
giving me adjustments in the future if I want them. I don’t know if he is
proceeding with caution, and superior knowledge, to other chiropractors that I
have been to, or whether he is just trying to soak up all the insurance money
that he can, or both.
The last chiropractor that I went to took no x rays and
started cracking my back immediately and immediately took co-pays.
Is there no standard for chiropractic? Is each office and
each doctor different. I’m really looking too deep into this. All I want is for
my back to not fucking hurt. Is that too much to ask?
Ok, I have to admit that, once upon a time, I used to be
into Van Halen. But that was eons ago. And never when Sammy sang.
"Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow."

I won’t clip coupons, but I am not too proud to collect Food
Stamps.
Have you got $24.99?
I used to watch for the day to die
hoping that things on the next one
would get better. And when I quit
drinking, they did. Have you got
$24.99? This is my story.

SO groovy to finally meet you last night! I enjoyed your
poetry & that Tom Petty shirt, as well!! :)—Karin Johnson

wisdom to know the difference.”--St. Francis of Assisi
This prayer saved my ass. For the longest time I was
bi-polar unmedicated, practicing alcoholic full blown…
The best thing I ever did was to get away from being a
Kinsella.
That family was never good for me and I was never good for
it.
I'm going to be the next big thing after the next big thing,
or maybe after one or two big things after that. My time is coming, soon, I'm
certain. For sure.
Do you think that your same job with the same boss would be
the same if you had to wear a super hero costume to work all day?
This beautiful snack that I fixed for myself includes
ravioli heated in the
microwave, and then topped with
cold cottage cheese,
accompanied by a hot tea with
milk is a sure crowd pleaser, if you are trying to please
the crowd.
I’m sucking on, then breaking down a number, of Ed Hardy’s
King Dog Energy Mints. Intensely Caffeinated it says on the cover of the
candy’s box. I wonder where these things will lead me? Will they have no
effect, and in effect have been a scam? Or will I find myself lying awake for
years a time zonked out on them?
She said, suicide’s easy, what happened to the revolution?

They had their chance but threw stones at me and hung me on
a cross, but I rose again to rule. It’s a long way out of my mind and onto this
computer or this paper in front of me.
I need some ass
I need some ass
you’ll hear a young man say,
and when he gets it
he’ll stick his finger under your nose.
I used to think like that, but I never acted like that. I
never stuck my pussy smelling finger under anyone’s nose; seems a gross thing
that you’d have to be a jerk to do.
Wow. You have 2763 photos in your folder on Facebook, and
none of them are of you. What are you hiding? Are you so good looking that you
are scared that you will be stalked? Are you so ugly that you don’t want the
world to see you? Are you weird?
I’m ugly and I’ve got my picture up on Facebook. I have like
10,000 pictures of me up there. You can’t miss out on what I look like.
