A poem I shat out a little bit ago:
‘Sloppy’
That’s me.
Missing a belt loop, toot-fruit, one-armed, nicknack handler.
Classic car, from afar, hot dog stand, without a plan.
Hot tea on a Saturday night? Dumb. Why not chew your nails while watching reruns of ‘Friends’?
Who invented fun?
I fucking did.
Deal.

Why does Charles Bukowski continue to show up?

Passive Postcard
First you pull the PC out of your purse (promoting your new business) and lay it next to you on the table.
When I come back, I notice it is laying in the middle of the table.
When I come back a 3rd time, it is laying at the end in the corner (I still have said nothing about the PC, and neither has Ms. Passive).
I come back to give you your bill and the PC is now propped up against the salt & pepper shakers. You still say nothing about the PC or the business you are opening just a few doors down from our restaurant.
When I return you give me your credit card with your business name prominently on the card.
After you leave, still not saying anything about your business, the PC is in the check book with your CC slip and a $4 tip (dinner for two).
Way to promote your business! Good Luck!

Dead Man Loop
A heavy breath
Dark room
Window dirty
A broken TV
Dry flower pot
Dog skeleton in a frame
Man with a razor blade and a beer
Woman clutching a book and a Ruger
An open telephone
Deep trouble

F’k off Democrats
Me: I think I know your dad, great guy.
Customer 1: Thanks
Customer 2 (across the table from customer one): It’s too bad he is a Democrat (in a snotty voice)
Me: What’s wrong with that? (Then I walked away.)
Customer 2 (under her breath): F’ck Off.

I Married A Drug Mule
That was years ago
and the tension did not end
at bedtime
nor did the fun ever begin
Morning coffee did not help
Nothing did
She left in a Buick someone else stole

The Round Up Tip
The round up tip is usually not good, but this guy must only figure out his checkbook in increments of $50.

MESSIER 10
The globular cluster is descending
Watch out if you can
The universe is more than
we can control
so let’s enjoy the colors
it brings and hope we are
gone before it ends
but if everlasting life is
a guarantee
then who cares
Let’s dance all night
with those that love freedom
