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.
