so its raining and im thankful im not at work
out in it
waiting for a train to come
waiting for 3 o'clock
they fired me the day before the solar furnace got good and fired up
the first day of summer
i was grateful
as my skin was still glowing a rosy red from the last day of spring
when i stood 21 feet the wrong way
the boss was just itching to fire me
i could easily have held onto the job and suffered
but i was done suffering
done with earning for awhile
not even close to broke
more cash flowing in and out than ever before
i was doing things like taking my check to the casino
clearly not harry-like
if the department of labor comes thru the job nets 82 k a year
a half year of that is cool with me
thats 4 harry years of work
harry's live on about 10-12 k a year
thats all i need
low expenses
i stuck with it as long as i could
6 months of time appreciation
6 months of distraction
now i should be like a racehorse when the gate opens
but once again i stare monumental laziness in the face
if im gonna waste my time
why not get paid for it?
ill give myself a week to adapt my rhythm
to find the right rhythm
the muses rhythm
o muse o muse wherever you are
o wait
there she is
in the copious notes i took trackside
waiting for trains
work limericks, notions, things the sun tried to tell me
here comes the sun
limericks-my green nettle tea
helps me be the future me
time machiine in grees
my green nettle tea
fights my hunger wars with me
bored eating aint me
my green nettle tea
aloows me to think more clearly
best of all it's free
boredome
vanishes
as i sing my songs at work
a tool for the man?
whistle while you work
mind control for seven dwarves
work happy, earn more
dwarves paid per coal pound
incentive to rape the earth
dwarves move on to shale
on shit taking:
life as a shit taking contest?
rich people don't have to take any
they hire people to take it for them
unless they marry wrong
fullyu developed humans do not have to take any either
every now and then maybe, for the short term
in pursuit of a tangible goal
but three years of shit was never going to be taken by me
6 onths was pushing the ourside of the envelope
every now and then you gotta take a little?
mmmm
sounds pavlovian to me
superheroish
working man...takes shit better than anyone in the universe
watch him defuse his crappy boss
incredibly thinck skin
no olfactory organs what soever!
rethinking writing-
that wasn't in our genetics
look to the fossil record
we were artists
painting buffalo on the wall, being human
all of a sudden writng develops out of nowhere when some alien lands here and subjugates us
injecting their alien dna into us
playing god and now we scribble?
this should be the last thing you ever read!
go back to the cave walls
reading is depression
the more you read the more depressed you get
reading is a tool to keep power in the hands of those who invented writing and money
why is the word "paying" sp close to the word "pain"
thats not an accident
same with mortgage...death is in the word
the word bankers are trying to sell you each day
death for sale
work sounds an awful lot like war too
standing in the rain
isnt quite as romantic
for an hourly wage
sixteen bucks an hour
gets my minimal focus
its limerick time
out flow the lim-ricks
as i stand on the train tracks
amiling at the rain
new levels of suck
with ev ree wasted minute
poems unwaste time
end cell phone tyranny
why do i have to carry this gps around?
for work?
not that important.
what kind of emergency could there be where i need to be notified immediately?
write me a letter, send me an email, call my landline
ill leave my cell at hime
turn it into a landline
check it when i come home
out in it
waiting for a train to come
waiting for 3 o'clock
they fired me the day before the solar furnace got good and fired up
the first day of summer

as my skin was still glowing a rosy red from the last day of spring
