"Starting Yesterday I ... "

grey soap water splashing
incident
fear...why?

Oakland...sidewalk dwellers
Brown haired blue eyed Danish Norwegian
maid with doe eyes
mother

don't remember how
next Walnut Creek
gonna be a traveler
walk to the mountain top
slide down
on cardboard

walk walk walk
nobody cares
walk walk walk
nobody's there

Old duke the weimeraner bit someone in the garage

who can collect the most flies?
cap guns blazing
in the cut grass

she had flies
more than I
and she could outwrestle me

the dog humping her leg
knocked her down
made her cry

I got poisoned blood
from the swimming pool
leg felt bigger than a telephone pole
the first time I was ready to go

just didn't care
no fear
clothes off at school
room should have been dark

cowboys parades
and guns
gonna go
shoot someone.
gonna go
on.
