Every so often my

electric blanket

gives me a little shock

to remind me that

it’s very old and should

be replaced immediately.

They say on

Monkey Island

if you’re going to

eat a banana,

then you’d better

eat it fast.

On the wall of my

doctor’s office

there is a photo

of a chap who had

his thumb severed

in an

industrial accident.

***

The doctor actually

replaced it with

the man’s big toe.

***

And that’s fine for him.

***

And a thumb is important.

But no thanks.

It’s weird when

the elevator door

opens and there

is nobody waiting

there, so, I just 

assume a ghost

has entered, and

say,

“Welcome aboard!”

For a moth

to be able to

sustain itself

on the

tears of a cow

they first

need to be able

to tap into

a real dark place

in the

cow’s psyche

Each Tuesday,

I pay a

topless maid service 

to come in and clean

my apartment.

Unfortunately,

I work Tuesdays, 

so I have to take it

on good faith.

September 19th

Remember!

If to-day the blood of

St. Januarius fails to

liquify & bubble,

we can look forward to

a long, long winter

I can still remember

when this town

wasn’t big enough for me

& some other gunslinger

Jimi Hendrix was always ineffably polite.

***

1.

He never assumed

you were experienced.

He’d ask first.

***

2.

He always made sure

he knew where you were

going with that gun

***

3.

He would never

stand near your fire w/out

first asking

***

4.

He always excused himself

before kissing the sky
