When I listen to my thoughts, I can’t tell if I Tourette’s Syndrome, or really bad taste.  When I listen to my thoughts, I can’t tell if I Tourette’s Syndrome, or really bad taste.  When I listen to my thoughts, I can’t tell if I Tourette’s Syndrome, or really bad taste.

Looking at the phone versus not looking at the phone is the game.  You neeed to make lots of other people look at their phone more than you look at your phone.  Then you don’t have to go to jail, nor become a pawn in some foolish, political spectacle disguised as religious dispute.

Long day. I feel sad. I sang for a long time. Maybe you’re supposed to be vulnerable and sincere, but I keep trying to rewrite the record. I didn’t listen to enough music or read enough books. All these doubts that anybody has are all in your head. They can see the things that you can’t see. You don’t pay attention to anyone and no one pays attention to you. If you have no money the government will come get you. A list of what I did today. Tide pools. Sea urchins look like Dr. Seuss trees. I’m always pleased to see a snake. If you sing about food it’s for old people. I try not to say curse words or sing about food. I wanted to say bitch real bad today but I didn’t. Chores. Girlfriend. Photo safari. Flowers, waves, old barn, and fence. Eminem imbibes pop culture for the benefit of having a subject matter his audience will predictably identify with? Who is your audience, and what are you interested in? I don’t even know who you are. Sometimes I don’t understand why this job is necessary. I’m a reasonable worker. Snakes and tide pools feel right again. The Newport Jazz festival on the radio from Point Reyes and Bolinas. Jack Kerouac’s grave. Your friend said you’re good at baseball. This is a form of study. You need a game. The whims of the law.

Ulysses S Grant slept in a tent. He’s been to San Francisco. Why was the civil war fought in Pennsylvania? The confederates were attacking? Donald Trump impersonation. Why do you keep looking over there? John F Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev did a good job. Thank you. List of sex partners. Drug dealer ancestors. I’m good looking and sad and my back hurts and my wife’s hot. Stop quoting dead people! My impersonation of a Maryland person during the Pandemic crisis. A couple o’ fuckin’ beers. Evita Peron. I don’t know how to spell that. Maybe she had good intentions and then power corrupted and then they made a musical about her. Judy Garland was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Harold Arlen. They treated entertainers the same way they treated children, machines, animals. Uppers and Downers. The Wire was a good TV show, especially the school parts. D’Angelo Barksdale would vote for Biden. Stringer Bell didn’t have acceptance from his father. Omar would vote Bernie. Jesus and Joseph had a father. Wade Boggs was really good if you were paying attention at the time. Everybody’s a judge. Alexander the Great had a boyfriend and slept in a tent. I won’t listen to the commander of the military now because he doesn’t sleep in a tent. Edit that, my persona doesn’t curse. Talking to a camera in an empty room. Chinese cell phones in Mexico. The experts are mad I accused the government of propaganda. I’m scared of jail for sure, and death. All the times I was a coward. The mop scene in Fantasia. Give it to the Aliens. Not everybody can be a Yogi. I don’t know what work I should do. The widest vista you can find. Exert yourself. Feel the ground beneath your feet.
