Later,

I try to fry some hamburger

but it's all rotten

so I end up eating

watermelon...

tries to run into some

so I go up and kick its

starts to suddenly squirt

uninteresting,

multicolored liquid,

so I just turned up the

stereo...

window

over something we were

fighting about,

and to this day

I still can't recall what...

in each ear, it helps

to muffle the blather...

we are on the roof,

bouncing tiny white balls,

the air up there smells

like burnt rubber...

and matching toothbrush

that I had found

in a bag,

in the alley,

behind the drugstore...

...standing in the parking

lot,

I could see the reflection

of the warehouse fire

on the bald head of the

man

who was next to me,

I couldn't help myself,

I felt compelled

to rub it for good luck...

an interesting sort of terror

are only mildly arousing,

emotional painting is

not my forte,

painting, I wholeheartedly

traveled the countryside

reading poetry to

toadstools and

...the trip back seemed to

take only seconds, I now

remember entering a small

room filled with pink light,

an allover tingling

sensation, the feeling of

rapid movement, and

suddenly finding myself

standing at my motel room

door in a complete dazewith a can of Mountain Dew

in my right hand...

...the octopus-seller told

me a secret and gave me a

free slice of chocolate chip

cheesecake, I skipped all

the way home, kissing the

trunk of every tree along

the way, except those of

the pine variety...

...sometimes I make prank

phone calls for hours at a

time, usually I ask what

they are wearing and then

I'll mumble incoherently

and then I'll try to whisper

anarchy before they can

hang up.
