Politics is deliberately making things better for some people by deliberately making it worse for others.
I heard that today.

I went for a hike in the Norwegian Woods today, oh boy.
A metaman named Marlow came cruisin' thru the trees.
He is a giant and I come just to his knees.
He was talking backwards saying thanks instead of please.
But I caught on and we then were at our ease.
We sat and back-talked, just sort of shooting at the breeze.

I went to see either the gypsy or Van, Bob and Joni at UCLA
and standing right next to me was Graham Nash just spectating like the rest of us
I eventually had to sit down
It was a verrrry long show
Lost track of a Graham
I'd wanted to ask him about his preference in crackers and Eric Burden

Fine-tune the clock BACKWARDS ONE HOUR.
I generally wait up till two a.m. to do so. I've been here before, of course.
Ed, that was a great live version, totally great to have you post something here in Whackaville.

I have a Beardsly Belt buckle: "naked women feeding grapes to a peacock" $28 on ebay, or when I get a chance; its acting as a counter-weight on the daily driver(that will be a picture)
Three days of peak colors before the winds and rains came in, i missed good light, missed most of the chance 3 days ain't much
Boots, Shoes & Garbage Bubblers in Equal Measure
we all seemed to have fun walking along the spillway.
there is a similar favorite spot that is now so spoiled
that we travel to experience road noise with out gun fire.
My view, your opinion would be, if I showed you what you'd see
It is best described as the meeting of the departing point
of a mid last century mind
to see it though, is to witness the conflagration
the mixing, the mongrelization
The debasement
the muturing to ...an ok age not yet old.
of Peter and Jakie,
that would be Pan and Papers.
Puff's and the lost boy's heros
rolled into one gone daddy-O; so
& so
A Dadz now smoked.
the pirates great nemassis es ,
if you follow that?
that in a horde I plie ,
that surrounded by,
imbedded in that pile
That is all junk.
The name of a town in new england can be telling
Torrington? I'll have to look it up,
Im sure it is flood related.

All those sunrise shots from the fifth floor...
you just never know...
same with all the thousands of shots of cumulonimbi.
Out the window.
[Click to View YouTube Video]Everything has its season.
Beautiful shot, Gnome.

That upper hart of darkness in the center of the woods above the pond
is home to an excellent ledge
Seeing it, brings on physical feelings; both of yearning & sorrow, passing into 5 years since I've been, the cell tower & what not (can guess) is new.
every fall for years now I have tried to rope in a suitable climbing partner to risk the Tics, and dirt to suffer up some stupid ancient corner or fang of granite that has no redeeming climbing value other than that it is (still) there.

suburban still life with trashcan
the price to be paid for living among the ponderosa
tempting ground cover for those of us in the mud zone

Golf Course Approach AloneStop showing your pecker! you gnow what they say
build bridges, dikes and walls, lend your land to build town hall
but
shag one goat
And that is what they will call you out for for the rest of your life....
argh,
interrupted,
by all means by
the superior,
taken by his first droplets
wah? say what to what?
Dummest thing . . . Whats up
better stop to read a crafted thing
it is a fully cooked breakfast after all
and my coffee has gotten room temp
Stop showing your pecker! you gnow what they say
build bridges, dikes and walls, lend your land to build town hall
but
shag one goat
And that is what they will call you out for for the rest of your life....

Just Say No to Love
or
(Possibly the Saddest thing I ever Wrote)
There is no couch
There is no door
No doctor in
This metaphor
No cabin wide
Or open floor
Or reason why
To know what for
There is no park
Or rolling plain
No broken hinge
To share my pain
There is no balm
For loneliness
When all seems lost
I must confess
There is no table
But an empty chair
Where one once sat
For whom I cared
There is no sky
No morning dawn
Only empty silence
And a dreadful calm
There are no words
There is no gain
Or balm to soothe
This heart of pain
There is no reason
That I can recall
For ever having
Loved at all
But that’s how we feel
When loves gone wrong
We lambaste our joy
In a sad sad song
This life we live
Leads us along
All roads must end
In a sad sad song
-bushman
