 Labor Day—working tipsy with strong magarita 

"ion give a FUCK!" said to colleague while working 

cloudy skies his black and chrome motorcycle parked 

monkey-mind slowed down potency of this margarita 

looking me in the eye...Burmese cat hogs the couch 

dating pool quite shitty—*onanism my saving grace these days 

*masturbation 

fried pickles aged woman waves goodbye while leaving

forty-two still i call this new lover 'daddy' 

strong tequila all day the skies overcast and aloof 

diving at wreck-site no Atlantis no Pirate's gold no Bermuda Triangle 

underwater grotto i know nothing about swimming 

sea kelp: rehearsing his departure speech from earlier

elephants hunted for ivory someone slaughtered in my dreams 

frothy waves magnolia scent and cigarette smoke this evening 

boiling sausage on stove remembering stranger's odd smile 

wind from the interstate another walk around hotel property 

dinner—frozen tv food and a quiet hotel lobby 

another walk around the hotel talking to myself 

sliver of moon rain comes on fragile feet tonight 

home from work grabbing a beer immediately 

shuttered windows mémær doesn't laugh at the joke

willow trees and figs Black boy biking up the road
