"I can get the answer
for you faster
if you don't stand there
looking
over my shoulder."

"OK I am walking away."

I've been dancing in a lesbian bar.
No I haven't.

I just heard my name
used
by a co-worker
in a lame
analogy.

I like to lay with my feet pointing east
so that before sleep
I can see where I am
going.

Overheard at the office
their voice taking on
a
lower
register

"Business rule my ass"

Morning sound inventory.

1) Coffee Maker clucking.
2) Refrigerator humming.
3) Aquarium gurgling.
4) Cars hissing.
5) Bus grumbling.
6) Planes buzzing.
7) Jaw popping (when I yawn).
8) Crows admonishing.
9) Unknown cheeping.
10) Baseboards clicking.

Like a northern grizzly bear
I have started to hibernate,
turning the heat way down,
going to bed early under
a pile of warm blankets,
finding my dreams
mixing in with my
waking contemplations.

In a shocking case of cubical comeuppance Abigail shows no respect for her elder and disguises my cube as the Boston Globe. This led to a vigorous fist shaking and rumination of what would have happened to this irksome whippersnapper back in my day.
The worst part was it took me 3 hours to free myself leading to my Ensure getting warm!

New National Geographic in the bathroom,
cookies for lunch,
DTV conversion delayed.
Thanks Dad

And M.L. came down from
the mountain with
three new commandments.

11-Don't take the kitchen utensils.
12-Respect the sacristy schedule.
13-Be kind.

If these are not obeyed you
will be smote by your children
getting inferior teachers
in middle school.

Dreams

I dream that I am at my Dad's house
as an adult
however
the house was like when I was a little
kid with no extension, garage and with
a small wisteria tree in the front yard.

His dreams are of the bakery where
he is working and his dad is there
standing silently.

Happy National Renewal and Reconciliation Day, 2009 !!!

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death, The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies, We, the people, must redeem The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers. The mountains and the endless plain-- All, all the stretch of these great green states-- And make America again!

---Langston Hughes---

Office Stag Beetle

There is a few inches of snow
outside my window at work.
The surface is frozen,
and gently pocked
like the pores of my skin
viewed close up.
Grass and sticks
poking through like stray
hairs.

Ladies, hide your daughters !


Thanks Marcy!

Happy Leap Second !
spend it wisely.

I am living and working in Massachusuetts for a company based out of San Fransisco....if I get any bluer you will be able to make a pie out of me.

I have an icicle hanging off the
back of my apartment that is nearly 7 feet long.
I have named it Glamdring.
