quality of life

back to edo tonight

go to that pizza place
man just sitting in there
improved the quality of my life

evan the blue eyed northern italian
sampled me two options on five buck glasses of wine
both very drinkable

now that's a good start

________________

then i get the meatballs
grandma's recipe
amazing

meet frank the regular
from chicago

the conversation started by general agreement
all the women in the place are gorgeous

including the dishwasher

and we go on to discuss
the utter importance of the quality of sauce
to a pizza

the best espresso in town
and the need for chinese food

with delivery

_________


i get the gelato
with shot of espresso
and mini biscotti for dessert

for which i used a phrase i've never heard
except for my dad

and i always thought it so lame
but it came out of my stunad
dazzled mouth

better than most illegal substances i've tried
the dessert was

crazy good

___________

threw a music card at evan

in case his folks ever want to try
live music again

this time featuring
an italian on mandolin and fiddle
playing nuevo gypsy originals

we'll figure out the details later

mostly want to be affiliated with this business
and its brick indoor industrial walls

however possible

______________

went out to walk the hood

fantasize about other cool businesses
one could do in edo

like with that nice looking dance floor
on the corner

really savoring the fact that i have a life:

a girlfriend who i like contact dancing with
within a perfectly secondary poly-relationship

since she is already further along
with someone in santa fe

and i don't want to be her
or maybe anyone's

primary

______


i will take her to the pizza place
after dance next week

next door at the yoga center
to the 5 rhythm wave mix

i now fully intend to do a live version of
even called the middle eastern drum and electonica guy today

after dancing everyone
off the funk dive floor last night

and now invited to jam with the band

good to have something going on
that's my thing

even imagining an aging-lou-reed look
that's working for me

feeling kind of hip
ecstatic and

grateful
