Failed religions, part 1
In the year 205, a goatherder, sleeping on a steep hillside above the village of Armpit, saw unto him an angel who said hark, go forth and preach the gospel of orange peel baby robes. Climb the heavenly pile of rotting donkeys and worn out tires and strum the golden notes of truth on the banjo. Or just forget it and herd your damn goats, you illiterate simpleton.

and interviewed the secretary
if you pounded your head on the keyboard and thought about styx singing mister roboto and drew pictures of square pans of lime green jello and listened to wilfred brimley reading books on tape by vladimir nabakov and took two aspirin and drank soda water with a lemon wedge and interviewed the secretary of funny pants and placed bets on runs like glue and saggy saddle and hitch-hiked across the county and sang conway twitty songs and grew green beans and sat in a chair in a rainstorm, your head would hurt.

where did the lovelorn sheep
dave i've walked the narrow hills and the cobble stone walkways of forgotten cities and coughed on the dust of south american barrios. i've forgotten the photos and melted the ice cream. dave i've two cents and a box of newspapers. dave i've a half-drunk bottle of vodka and crushed aspirin in a spoon. i've run from happy dogs and angry cats. i've painted sidewalks with blood and slept in vacant lots. i've two train ticket stubs and a view of the hills. dave where did the horny blue skies? dave where did the thorny green thighs? dave where did the lovelorn sheep in the sleeping barn? i've shorn the lovely hills and the cobble stone heads and forgot the dust.
do you remember the tumbleweeds
dave i've been a lazy sink full of dishes. mo wash the dishes. they're green. mo why are you throwing away the dishes. mo you are a lazy sink full of salmon. i am a salmon of lazy sinks. sink, salmon! dave why are you a lazy capitalizer of letters? mo tell dave to stop it. i should probably tell you i am wearing the same socks today that i wore yesterday. do you remember the tumbleweeds that piled up on the chain link fences in our childhoods? do you remember the smell of four-inch deep dust around the russian olive trees by the river? i remember the quail and the blackberries and the cloudless blue skies. i remember the copper abe lincoln statue in the library and the air conditioning and the stacks of enyclopedias. i remember the dirty socks and the tall lush grass and the stolen sips of beer. i've a lazy sink of photographs and nothing. i've a salmon lost in the gravel. the gravel and the gold and the blood red pebbles and the pure hearts of fish out of water.

somewhere a thief helped himself to the spare change in a glass jar on a shelf
