the gringo triplets drinking water in Chichén Itzá

Moondaeg 8 September 2003

TIJUANA, BAJA CALIFORNIA.
Michael Speaking:

in the morning ruch hour
traffic rumbles and stumbles along 2nd

I wonder what the effect of
different color ink is on the psyche

last night I dr e  a   m    t        I was exploring               
the park up on and around the peak northwest
of the suburb where I grew up on
the other side

I found an old spring dripping with fresh water
dripping over a large, ancient boulder
from ages before the white man came

these waters are curative said the sign
and I drank two handfulls



The crowds are lined up outside IFE offices as usual -- the federal electoral institute.  In a related story my sample ballot came in the mail to my parents' house on the hill above Grossmont High.  One hundred and thirty something names seven or eight pages of names names names and all those different jobs wow this is NOT an election this IS a REALITY SHOW governor governor who's got to be governor step right up....

We all gathered large and small yesterday to fest my niece as she leaves for her third year up north at the University.  Her mother and father demanded to know if I was voting to recall the gubernator and I said I was waiting to see how far he can swallow his own foot and leg.  Heh heh I said I would like to see him take it all the way up to his crotch but I didn't say crotch I said [blank space]....

The gray man apparently insulted Scwartzenschlonger by saying he couldn't even pronounce the name of the state.... heh heh now we're bashing immigrant accents, are we?  "I talk like a Nazi and they made me a movie star God Bless America" -- Arnold Schwartzenwatzeneverheimerschlong

I left a hole in nature whistling at the air which had gone to gaze on Cleopatra look it up act two or three by not speaking the name, any name, for [ it ] and my sister became funny all of a sudden oh you want to see if he can be a contortionist but then she became intensely strident and launched into a rather stereotypical budget speech yawn well that's bloody politics I guess and I just am a little toooooo this color although I must admit I am tempted to vote for

the man William something or another oh there it is William "Bill" S. Chambers whose occupation is listed as Railroad Switchman/Brakeman... trains trains I love the trainsssssss whoooo-wooooooooooo clickity clacka clickity clacka.
