Woke up.

Got out of bed.

Dragged a comb

across my head.

Was sued by

the Beatles.

Keep circulating the URL

At the super-market I saw

a “Warning: Wet Floor” cone

tipped over on its side.

Clearly, another case of

“Do as I say, not as I do.”

Weird how

Ritz crackers

and the

Ritz brothers

both seem too

buttery to me.

 

Walking home

in East Hollywood,

a stranger asked me

if I had a light.

***

And though,

I had some

iron pyrite,

a seeing-glass,

and a stick

and a flint

***

It was easier

to just say,

***

“Nope.”

 

I will always remember

the day my car was stolen.

ii.

I immediately notified

the authorities and

filed a report. But they

told me not to hold out

too much hope for having

it found.

iii. 

The following week

the police called me.

They said that they

had located my vehicle,

but, — Bad News:

my car had been completely

stripped for parts.

iv.

“OK,” I said. “I’ll come by and pick it up.”

v.

The policeman replied,

“That’s OK, we’ll just mail it to you.”

vi.

A week later,

I rec’d an envelope in

the mail from the police.

vii.

Inside the envelope was

my windshield wiper blade.

viii.

Under-neath the blade was a ticket.
