(I was away from here all November as I worked on a novel-that-became-a-novella-to-be over here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZLHWNsyWO5iRZ3NZfJynWRvQIIC4tuyVjhDkjKehHJY ... I don't know if that link is going to work, I'm a little limited here. Anyway it's good to be back to thumb-typing what with the novel-now-novella being mostly finger-types, but true to form I snuck some thumb-typed sections in there and it'll be interesting to see if I can spot the difference when I start editing in a few months. And it'll also be interesting to see what I do with it / about it if I can spot it. More? Less? As a device? And so on.)
Things change you
What do they call these shades that are translucent or semi-transparent or whatever like the opposite of black out shades
Haze out
Wash out
Filter
But "out" is the wrong word what's the word for "half out" instead or Quarter or 10%
You've used photoshop you get what I mean
There are those slides everywhere
God bless the Bronx for what they did or wherever else the cross fade came from
Who gets there first vs. who gets there the loudest vs. fuck all y'all
Hands in the air like like like
Heads nod like like like like
I don't know what you need from me and I don't know what I need so here we are as in here comes 2017 like whoah
Apple blossoms? Rain gaps? Fantasy everything?
Press accuses careerism while forever forevers ever
After which after who after when
I mean, who that which. Which because. That this that there.
Pause-breathe, think-exhale, smile-double, step-step like snap.

Salvage Salvo Scripture
Something like softening everything
Station after station seeks same
Strenuous sauntering in the heat, they'd say
That which which when whenever, they'd say
I'm here! I'm here!
Sideways or refraction falls short
They don't get it
The hand waving, the small pile of drift wood lit up on the beach because it's all the drift wood we could find
Not bad for a Wednesday but it isn't Wednesday
Keeping track of your goods when it's never gonna get any better
And then new things born every day and more sunshine and all the things that happen when you dissolve salt in water
They know the signs and you're ready
Pat pat pat

Cancellations Due to Weather
It's not whether
Wherever you
Forget forget forget
Final sounds are finished songs
Surround sounding sinking sunk
And then Tuesday
And then Wednesday
And then the wood you lean on
Six shots sinking sunk
Forgiveness
Quieter times
Always the sun
Wherever you
Forget forget forget

Awwwuulll These People or What It Means to Go from Place to Place
Line line line it up I'm barely standing
Like oceans to the sea
Like tired people in tired places
Like this whole income thing and every other thing
And then the trailer parts of trailer trucks all lined up at the Pepsi Distribution Center waiting for the truck parts to come and take them places
Drive up windows for fast food and banks and coffee
Tshirt shops on boardwalks on beaches
All that wood out in the sun all summer long
Hurricane shutters, shatter-proof glass, childproof bottle caps
This over time and that over time and you, too, over time
Think about the last time you took a good look at the sky and what you were feeling right beforehand
Or the last time you saw someone driving with their turn signal on and didn't know it
What train tracks do
What chainlink fences do
Any job well-done
And then time alone
Quiet and alone
Like oceans to the sea
Like tired people in tired places
Like this whole income thing and every other thing

Mantle and Its Opposite
Thunder and lightning and lies
The things we say about every action
Or a desk and the ducking and the covering
Thursday is a day and so is Friday
Fancy everything, the ground we walk on, moments after the rain stops
The last slice of pizza is not a thing
Line after line after line in the sand
And it's late at night
And it's early in the morning
And this thing and this thing and this thing are all piled up
The way thunder rolls in the distance
How some things just float
The things we say about every action
Or a desk and the ducking and the covering
Thursday is a day and so is Friday
Fancy everything, the ground we walk on, moments after the rain stops
The last slice of pizza is not a thing
Line after line after line in the sand
And it's late at night
And it's early in the morning
And this thing and this thing and this thing are all piled up
The way thunder rolls in the distance

Welcome to I Woke Up Before You
Want want want
Have have have
Private private
I see more than darkness
And days will always vary
If it's teeth or swollen weather
Let it be heat like a brick
Let it be water to my neck and welcomed
Let it be wrapped in anything
An egg in it, a cherry on it, one of those long spoons like at Friendly's
What do you own?
And what is too many?
Trouble with troubles and it's nowhere near time to go
Thatch together so shelter and stay awhile
Like stew and statements and stamen
It's all in your head because it's supposed to be

Those Perfect Things That Would Kill You
I'm not talking about preservation
Rings, boats, fruit and other foodstuffs
Not scurvy, not rickets
And these other things come in threes, but not these and not today
Today the real is all too real
Today is unasked for remembrances
Today is what you'll walk into around the corner of you aren't paying attention
A deer family on the side of the road -- mom and two fawns born so late in the season
The old kind of torrents
Turrets, tribulation, trial, tradition
A wistful day has its sad parts
And regrets are what they are
Rings, boats, fruit and other foodstuffs
Not scurvy, not rickets
And these other things come in threes, but not these and not today
Today the real is all too real
Today is unasked for remembrances
Today is what you'll walk into around the corner of you aren't paying attention
A deer family on the side of the road -- mom and two fawns born so late in the season
The old kind of torrents
Turrets, tribulation, trial, tradition
A wistful day has its sad parts
And regrets are what they are

Golden Levers Evens Now
From now on
Frightful vs. fearful
Fearless from froth
Feckless freckled front
Golden great great grinning
Ginned gains gained
Granted
Helping her heave
Heavenward hoisted
Pulleys are like simple machines only less so
Nothing's right from now on
Out of a metaphorical starting gate
Or a cage between your ears
Or a blue heron in a little creek and winter's on its way
Only running slow this year
Today? Felt like a hundred out there
Frightful vs. fearful
Fearless from froth
Feckless freckled front
Golden great great grinning
Ginned gains gained
Granted
Helping her heave
Heavenward hoisted
Pulleys are like simple machines only less so
Nothing's right from now on
Out of a metaphorical starting gate
Or a cage between your ears
Or a blue heron in a little creek and winter's on its way
Only running slow this year
Today? Felt like a hundred out there

And Then a Throw-In
It starts once you have a line
Like the way light made dark, before that there was just a great volume of whatever
When is what happened what happened and when is it a model or a map
Let's squash down the dimensions here, place a camera there, some strategic lighting and then we pretend it means something
The thing about words is you can say anything
The thing about life
The thing about meals
The thing about math
The thing about people
The thing about disease
You're better off looking up today
