which is which

I was going to fast today

I ate so much camping that I threw my back out

but then I heard the ice cream truck
blaring its happy tune
from the next block over

and thought that ice cream
would make the perfect breakfast

on the way over to the ice cream truck park
I decided it was so hot
to walk even five steps toward the park on the next block
would be foolish

so I got in my A/C car
and drove away from my wi-fi home
my laptop in the basement existence
underneath the tangle of power lines

where my root canal is no longer throbbing
creating massive headache
from the cell phone resonance
it seems to enjoy

and driving instead east
toward the cafes
where it is cooler

where I can instead eat a burger and oversized
milkshake
if I get all the way to Nob Hill

I instead head to Yusif's
where he will feed me iced mint tea
while I sit at his internet portals

typing away

__________

The traffic here is a bit like a video arcade
the cafes rather movie ish
Yusif's dreamlike

but nothing is as it seems now is it

matter energy

I'm working on a new magic
dropping homeopathic doses of love
into the whirlpools of disaster

from afar

hey we all find our level of activism

yesterday I saw
in rapid succession

cat
butterfly
and roadrunner

it was an interesting mix
obviously the highlight of the day

today was writing three songs
all polyrhythmic
in rapid succession

soon I will go to the park
sit in the shade

and figure out which is
which
