Well bla bla bla.

to design is to write
composition is

                     to

read in reverse

no, in   inverse

no ,    in     obverse

                                           per verse

                                           per cent

the  new   vision    of     life      is       a   laundramat

          l a v a m a t i c a

     is a lavamatica on the corner of Nueva Tijuana at the main corner of Nueva Tijuana where all the minibusses and route taxis come and go Tere called this corner the "lanzadera" the launching pad for all the burras and calafias and camiones and taxis INSERT "y" wherever "and" appears and POOF you're speaking TJ spanish eh

is a lavamatica on the lanzadera corner of nueva TJ
repeating the word over and over again does not make it art
repeating the word over and over again does nothing

and I still want to perform with Olga Margarita
she is presenting a book about Baja California artists Friday night at CECUT

and I still want to perform with her
like


                     once

on the steps of the theater waiting for a ride
after she showed her toilet video mistressbating

or on the penthouse seven rooftop that is no more

go girl          you go girl

mmmmm what a          voice
    what  fire

way out of my league

still

                                as my clothes go round
                                and round in the dryer

la secadora

I write

I think         remember
because Tere
told me she heard
she's back in town again

     (and tomorrow before I type this I will read about her presentation Friday)

and so, Olga, in a pile of words and empty spaces while my laundry is going around and around in the dryer I say

WELCOME BACK TO THE FRONTIER !!

WELCOME HOME TO THE FUTURE !!

What does a change in color of ink
to do with fleets of minibusses and vans
turning the corner at Bellas Artes and Lopez Portillo

blue and white bus lines are only onf of the comparisons

and then there are the taxis in every color of the rainbow
y luego suben los taxis en todos los colores del arco iris

"there are" does NOT equal "salir"
dice el macaronico says .

At felipe's birthday party Hector asked
si me atrevo escribir con una mezcla
if I dared write mixed language

and I thought yes and said sometimes
pero el real tricks is not to translate

no más presentar paralelos                   universos
only present partial                         versiones

while the dryer goes round and round
mientras que la secadora gira y gira

AND I GIVE MYSELF A FRIKKEN CRAMP from scribble

and I remember another night over endless drinks two years ago
tyring to tell Ramón what a gyroscope has to do with Greek
gyros sandwiches but you can't tell that man anything

he is so very much like me when I think I know everything heh heh
that's why we get on so well picking at each others Promethean livers

gag jab stab rip chew swallow over and over again

I do miss him

gonna make it real compared to what my true love only complains
if I don't use a napkin

so i put the Napkin on my leg and still wiped my hands on my pants but this 
time WITH a napkin heh heh what a pig this second rate poet is

yes

well them's the news from my little lake

tomorrow I will go walk by the lake in the park

and go downtown and type this

and feel wonderful to be in old downtown again again again

yes I will


                             okei bai
   okay bye
