Delicately taped and very breakable.  They don't make things like they used to.  Prepare for an afternoon nap and watch the entertainers.  Overacting is the secret to success, so many passive watchers.  Bordello queens and horn players.  The mexicans are always smiling.  Rushing around and rearranging lives.  The center of everyone's world, assuming we understand the injustice and hurtfulness of it all.  That danish guy, the artist.  Technology music and electronic minds.  The kingdom trying to keep the island people out.

Moving is about item relocation.  On the move.  That's why they call it moving. Packing is the thing, going through the previous days of life.  All important, all ended with decisions made and incoherent dreams. Some remembered, others ignored.  Clear out the house.  Out with the dusty, old, heavy furniture.  Bring in the new dust.  Find an electric drill.  Break it down to the frame. Tired and moaning.  We know we weren't expected.  It's the only way.

.stay right here .let it loose .they can look right into our windows .nosey and unrelenting .they will come for money and blood .they will dig in and fight .talk with measured words .claw our way to respectability .smoking rooms and bribes .we can start all over .we can begin again .as weird as it sounds .the texican maneuver .the law men have already decided .bluffs are coming soon .stay steady and calm .the unbelieving are aghast .what happens next is considered .the american guy was easily distracted .drank expensive drinks and sweated heavily .talked down to people habitually .an awful trait .looking for a way out .keep the peace at all costs .unconscious before eleven .talked about louisiana the next morning .they were relieved.

the blow the top.the breaking point.the end of her rope. it has muddled my mind.the age of truth.as we see it anyway. I would take us off the cliff.I would ram is into a tree or something.I would skid on the pavement.I would stutter and gasp. the challenge of our day. keep the dignity babe. showed me from the back.joy has become impossible.the thought of what was supposed to be.back when plans and dreams were made. we are living this dream.every night. I keep waking.day after day.finite and constant. always aware.always aware. I will miss time when it's gone...

...and the time is always now.to express.otherwise, all is lost.otherwise, it is dead and gone.mortal.words hurt, you know.they are the microphones of the mind, heart, and soul.unless, we are deceiving, then the reverse is true.talk about your own sin.fill up the truck.lay it down with humility, the closest trait to rightousness.be aware of your worst.there is plenty.the singers this time of year.choirs, singing baby king songs.just listening, with my eyes closed.people are busting out all over.they are restless and bored.free speech wanna b's.commerce cannot be forced.the constitution has been ignored.common sense has been ignored.competence has been ignored.this has already happened.the door is swinging wildly.the harlots whine...

Pleased myself. Did it right. Long, drawn out explanations. The context always surrounds. To some's disdain. But to most's benefit. Little robots, tight and apprehensive. Only supper time around here. They eat late in the city. Maybe we won't get hit. The taxi men are wild. Belly dancing girls and caviar. It will creep up on you like a yearly fee. Engulfing all that might get in the way. Washed up flower girls sick of their life. Slender and haughty the sign of the scorned.

"Throw me high. Bend the back and turn the torso. Hit me at the top, just as I start coming down. Give me about a three foot clearance over the net on ground strokes, those net shots sting. To make me spin properly, you must flick the wrist and finish the swing. I will nail lines, slide low, kick up, and drop dead. All the manipulation you can execute. Newly opened and just burst from the controlled air. Swooooshhh, when the top was popped from the can, my sister and brother carrying the same label and number as me. Dunlop and a three. We were ready to provide for a spirited game of tennis. The opponents, Keck, who took us off the shelf and bought us and Gorman, who is known for frustrated whacks into the fence and irrational blasts into the nearby creek when really frustrated. Especially if you've become a just a little dead. I don't want to end up in some bird nest or sink to the bottom of some damn creek. He's not too bad, and seems to have mellowed wi...

Always there will be numbers and percentages and ratios and income gaps and downgrades and upticks. This ride will continue until one day. Turn the page and read off some more. The fast talkers and the connected know what it all means. For now. Cameras float though the air. Reports of the band. Someone has to play lead. The late breaking indications of destruction and demise. Tune in tomorrow to see what happened. All things being equal. For a time. The young packs will scatter, but they will remain connected. Virtually, they find thier way. The old will suffocate on nostalgia. It's regrets and shattered hopes. Live today. Yesterday, and all before, have already been lived. The numbers continue to count.

.the race is on for now. .freezing rain don't matter. .the timecast is clear. .all the ladies listen up. .late in the year for pastels. .lit buildings and blinkers. .do the bicycle. .before its too late. .the body will respond. .pain comes from the inside. .bright colors and lamps. .stare with squinting eyes..
