  • ------------------------------------- How this blog got its name

    ------------------------------------ There was an old picture of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.

    ----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

      There is a wild silence that ties itself to the trees
falls from the leaves 
telling ya “please baby please! won’t cha blow me?!”

and tells you about a long ago war
how god got frightened down at the store.  
and lighting when its divided
can run a sewing machine

stitch together in my mind
curling till I find the line
running to 7-11 to get more cheap wine

your laughter creates a breeze, and that in turn creates time
to count all the rocks on Venus View high resolution

      Notes on watching the QVC channel high on peyote
I don’t know if you’ve ever made love in a haunted house at the bottom of the sea but its not as bad as Neitsche says it is. Its actually quite fun. Similar to making biscuits for the sun, that is until you run out.
And if you order this soul killing blender in the next 20 minutes we’ll throw in the Hieronymus Bosch attachment and TWO roaring voids for FREE! You only pay a small shipping and handling fee.
It reminds me of the time that my spell check started acting up. It began to suggest lurid spellings and emotions - high school potions that we made out of whatever liquor was left.
These magic rings speak secrets to your hands. Hot tickling moments whispered into the sand. That reality is slipping through your fingers is still the best handjob ever.
Up next, an infinite chain of delight that will drown you. Made out of Cap’n Crunch’s soul and with a limited lifetime warranty.

      Life is nothing without all this hot
death on death action
no need to use fractions
we’re all gonna die.
My grandma lost her mind in the end. She’d buried five children and she had a hard time remembering who was alive and who was dead. Every time she’d see me she’d start crying. I was alive.

      Experimenting with social media.
I can chant shit poetry all the live long day. 
But as long as I post it with a pic of a naked
famous chick
It’ll get notes and reblogs and then I can say to myself,
“They love me for my poetry.
They love me for my art.”
Its not for my fake celebrity tits
they truly see the depths of my soul
and they like/love/reblog and I feel full
no longer made of holes
I am fucked completely. View high resolution

      [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 82 plays

      Really asshole?! Another fucking R.E.M. memorial?

      Yeah but this song…

      Its got that intoxicating beauty of autumn. Ragged stream of consciousness dirge. Fuck! Its got Patti Smith!! Its got the feeling of nature, that all good REM songs had.

      Country roads - ancient houses - dead colorful leaves. 

      The beautiful sad poet, scrawling shitty poetry in some old cafe. Turning pain into something seductive. Dark and glittering glimpses of what could be, but an almost joyous” fuck yeah” in knowing that the end will be bitter and thankfully alone.

In the rough and hungover… 
lost in a strange land.
The desert speaks to me
taunts me
 with tales of hidden treasure.
I lost my flask 10,000 years ago,
but I can hear it crying still.
All the whiskey in the world
whispering my secret name. View high resolution

Mr. Giggles never did get use to my robot leg.
His ferocious display of snarling barks
whenever I clanked around the house…
 
and though its been 3 years
 since Mr. Giggles passed
I can still hear his suspicious growls
from deep beneath the flower bed.
 
sometimes in dreams I find him
alone and whimpering
my phantom leg in his teeth.

      Anyone can bitch.
The art is in listening for the deeper mystery.
The executioner wears a clowns nose
as he slits the throat of your childish love.
You mourn what could have been, 
while the rioters remind you of what will always be.

There is a great peace in being broken
being found out as a simple fraud.
A smile, in the humiliation.
Sure it hurts at first  
also quite disorientating

but its like when you were a child 
you gathered yourself in
and rolled down the hill
you roll and roll, endlessly out of control
the earth rushing madly around your ears
you stand and turn to run but fall straight into the ground
everyone laughs and you flop over on your back spread eagle 
and as the clouds and blue sky spin down around you

 or is it you…
 spinning up in them?

whatever the case, you find yourself
a bright blue spinning freedom
full of clouds, birds and weather.
