Uninspired talk of the weather


A group of owls is called a parliament.
A Penny whistle has six finger holes.
A starfish can turn its self inside out.
Lobsters have blue blood.
Everybody talks about the weather. How are you doing?
How have you been? Big fake smile and a handshake.
Tonight the moon is low and crimson like in a horror novel.
But then the stars fade and it is time for coffee and more
fake smiles and handshakes.
Uninspired, tired and I can't wait for something to go wrong.
Where is the hardship that I need in order to pump out the
mental bilge that I like to think of as creativity?
I should pick up a bi-polar nympho or a nasty drug habit.
Maybe fuck a good friends girlfriend and/or sister or
pick a fight with a cop.
Play with fire...Guns...toxic chemicals...
Walk alone in a nasty part of town wearing nice clothes
and asking for directions.
Strip down, cover myself in mud and blood and
run screaming down the street.
Nope, not me. I just sit here in my air conditioned nightmare
wearing a bathrobe and scratching mosquito bites.

Black Dawn


I have started working on music for a new music project, Velvet Wasp. More to come.

Roxicodone won't do it.
Whiskey won't do it.
Valerian root, white noise and warm milk...
Smooth jazz, crossword puzzles, jerking off...
Counting sheep, dark beer, long novels...

I can lay with my eyes closed for hours in the
pitch black...
Drunk on bourbon, wacked out on painkillers
and having just rubbed one off.
Still the oblivion of sleep eludes me.
I just want some sleep.

......there is always one sure fire
way to meet oblivion.
