BIRD

the more I look at that
BAGUETTE 
RUN
the MORE 

I LOVE it 

where is my mind

I forgot to tell you my DREAMS 

I can't remember all of it

there was a part
where there were two of me
or two people, anyway 
TRAPPED in my HEAD 

there was a part
where I had
a little 
CAT
&
it would fling itself at the side of a building 
(we were walking outside)
&
when it HIT the WALL 
it puffed up into this BIG PINK pixilated 
SOMETHING 

MAYBE 
pig or hippo or what's that thing
MOOMIN

it wasn't SCARY exactly 
BUT 
it WAS a whole
KINETIC something 

& there WAS, I think, a LOT of 
FIGHT in the dreamscape 

though
NOT the punching 
KIND

it was LIKE 
AGITATION anthropomorphized
or FELINE-promorphized
or whatever

new rules

of course 
he cancelled therapy 
& on the one hand 
WHATEVER 
he's human, he's having problems, I'm worried about him
BUT 
on the 
OTHER 
HAND

WHY
am I always explaining away 
OTHER people's BEHAVIOR 

BUT 
NOT allowing myself to be
ANGRY 

that what I HAD a RIGHT to EXPECT 

(although in my mind that becomes complicated by the fact that I don't believe you have the right to EXPECT MUCH)

I don't know HOW to be
ANGRY 
PROPERLY

NOT 
psychotic RAGE like my mom
NOT 
a FOREVER slow burn like my father

SOMETHING 
ELSE

& MAYBE 
THAT is a KEY to solving the grievance problem 
OR
MAYBE 
it just helps me to 
NOT FEEL LIKE 

I need to run away from things
because I can't DEAL with them without 
BECOMING a MONSTER 

LIKE 
if I JUST 

why does it seem like
FIGHT CLUB 
SUDDENLY 
applies to
everything 

TODAY is ANGER DAY

Thursday, November 6, 2025

head tunes for today

OH yeah, I forgot 
no kings
was stuck in my HEAD 
TODAY 

D!NG D!NG D!NG

I had a weird day

I also thought
about baguettes
as weapons
FELONY FOOTLONGS 

& thought about the scene in twin peaks 

where he's explaining about the
SANDWICHES he had in Paris

BAGUETTE + butter + SALT

I'm almost 
AFRAID to believe that 
I'm supposed to have therapy tomorrow 

I MEAN we'll SEE

viva la resistance

goodnight sweetheart 
I LOVE you VERY much 

say cheese

I thought about you at the grocery store yesterday too
I wanted to tell you
I LOVE 
MANCHEGO

I do have a few cheeses
I'm not crazy about
BUT 
not MANY 

I discovered 
6,7 years ago
that I don't like burrata

which surprised me
isn't it JUST hyped up mozzarella, I asked myself 
BUT 
mozzarella is high on my list of soft cheeses
& I decided 
it's just a case of
TOO MUCH 
CREAM

I KNOW it will make me sick
SO, my body just says
UM, no

CUSTARD, yes
creme brulee, never leave the bathroom 

CHOCOLATE, yes
chocolate mousse, never leave the bathroom 

ICE CREAM, is other food dependent 
it's like the snake rhyme

red and yellow 
kill a fellow 
yellow and black 
friend of Jack

learned in first grade
because 
CORAL SNAKES

there is some quantity of CREAM
which BECOMES problematical
especially OVER
SAY, sauteed ONIONS 

there is some Norwegian cheese I don't like
it's a brownish green
looks like dried boogers
tastes of slightly sweet
SOMETHING 
my thought -- boogers

I even like blue cheese in SMALL amounts
like IN things
I'm not eating big chunks
& I haven't tried
LIMBURGER 

six weeks 
on bread and cheese and fruit
YES
if you mix in
PASTRY 

I am a puddle 
on the floor

ALTHOUGH 
PASTA
&
Mediterranean SEAFOOD 

BUT 
RIGHT NOW 
I'd FIGHT CLUB for
a two by two inch cube of mature english cheddar
SMOKED

good morning sweetheart 
I hope you are having 
a beautiful day

sweet dreams sweetheart

goodnight sweetheart 
I LOVE you VERY much 

silly little memories

I was just thinking
dr Freeland
used to SAY 

BUT 
what if I  
NEED 
belgian endive

more thoughts

from each
according to their
ABILITY 

to each
according to their 
NEED

I was thinking about that today TOO 

I remember 
arguing with my mom 
in nineteen eighty

WAIT 
until you 
ARE 
RICH
to VOTE like 
you WERE ALREADY 

I identified 
UNION family 

my paw paw was IBEW
& my father was
in the sign painters union

OH
I had forgotten THIS 
he used to say
he was pretty sure you were
SUPPOSED to have gone to prison to join
& he wasn't sure how he had managed to get in

I DID 
think about my dad some
in relation to HOW 
I don't think I 
LOOK 
how I look

he was always talking to me about 
PROJECTING

BUT 
so much of what we SEE is body posture
CONFIDENCE --  the SPIRIT that
ANIMATES 

he had a bunch of them
SOME were LIKE training 

~if you see someone without a smile 
give them one of yours

~if you are ever walking in an area
where you don't FEEL 
SAFE

PROJECT --

I am LATE for the THING 
NEARBY 
where I am
EXPECTED

I don't think 
that's what most dad's probably do, huh





notes on today

I've had lincoln nebraska 
stuck in my HEAD 
ALL DAY

I was humming along irl
& then
I calmed down 
a little 
&
I started getting 
TOLEDO 

thinking about it
BUT 
KINDA adding in all the years of stuff 
since I heard it originally 

AND
it kind of IS a holiness

AND
THEN as I've gotten calmer
OR

possibly more accurately 
I've gotten somewhat 
wound up 

about
FELONY FOOTLONGS
&
lawyers throwing signs

the whole surreal circus 
has HAD a DAY 

SO
THEN I THOUGHT 
about the black Sox

BUT 
then TOO I thought about
your agents

& the ways
that makes me think
MAYBE 
I don't really like her

BUT 
THEN
it also makes me think 
f*CK yeah 

AGENTS
