he spit on her
about the world in a nutshell
about what cracks it and why

he let it all out
shes crying
confused

i need to  walk
absorb the world back
open my mind again
to let the lost inside
to take the  sidewalk with a grain of sand
and chalk up daisyds in the word fuck
and a shortcut


its funny i laugh in amazement 
to see everyone impatient
competing for love


black khol eyelid distress
colorful fruity things with glitter inside
pastel colors and white butterflies
tampons in disguise
eskimo high heels
mistaken luggage
makeup tote  

i saw a truck on the street
and this is what the bodyshop buys beer with
this is what america thrives on
each gender has a bodyshop

anyone can go to a mortuary
or  a maternity ward
or a house of ill repute and just watch and not do anything

you can call a name that seems interesting
and talk long distance if you found the perfect  one


watch people 
forget youreself
just visiting
thankful and lost


i remember elenore marchand
i shot her this summer with her husband
i sent her a copy and and when she wrote me a thank you note
she wrote that  she had not been to that ice cream
store in a long time since the vietnam war and when they both were young
and her children were younger 
i made her life happier
i wish  i could visit her
and findout if she has a dog or parakeet
then ask her
her life story

see the photographs /painting of
picasso
diane arbus
annie liebowitz


i like to share  picturebooks with chris
hes really the only one in the universe
i can honestly talk too
comunicate expand imagine  ideas
create  inventions that could change the world
or start riots
to sharre a sky opr laugh at the absurdities of life

we  look at people
the way they should look and live
the way humans act and look
not beautiful all the time  
but real

i get so wrapped up in beauty and love
that i can forget everything
and with you i am almost dreaming all the time
happy is with yyou
