BLACK FRIDAY AMUSEMENTS


Every few months I clean out miscellaneous scraps from my journal and set them on the back porch. Offering these up on Black Friday for your minor amusement. 
 
World Travel
 
If I'm sitting at my local coffee shop
it's everday.
If a person from Mongolia is sitting at my local coffee shop
it's world travel.
 
Band Name Generator
 
The Papal Snoods
The Terrible Suggestions
The Eckington Dump
Leper's Squints
Popskull [19thC slang for cheap whisky]
 
Shopping Blahs
 
Low fat 
this and that
 
Memory Climate
 
The cold ember 
of a hot memory


Cento from The Third Coast, Thomas Dyja

It was a voluntary madhouse
a museum of expired vices
a final cry 
for ruined lives.
 
Night Time
 
Sometimes midnight is not 
late enough for midnight thoughts
Maybe 3am or thereabouts
When I can hear the flag rustling 
in the cold wind. 
 
Memorable Names from the book, Journey to a War, W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood

Agnes Smedley
General von Faulkenhauser
W. Fitzhugh Brundage 

A Naked Advance

No one never not noticed the nudist.

Cheer Up

His soup was lumpy
which made him grumpy
and his family jumpy

A While Back
 
The sharp dark
of the old park
and a youthful lark.
