"she can wade in a drop of dew"
...and sometimes i think i could 
myself -- the world reflected in curved
edges of water grasping (tenuous) a leaf
of grass --  infinitely
less measurable (is it then
more real?
variations of colour and shape
fascinate
faerylike worlds born in the bending
of light.
when clarity becomes
translucent and sunlight wavers
for less than a second
i trace my toes over top water (soon dries in midmorning
heat --
) and contemplate
stepping in.

spoosh along the concrete empty
                 floor,hall -building of guilt- self    
    important pigments walls violated
         with blatant and tangible
    flyers of egotism
smell: vinegar and dust
                  (bisque) who cling--
                                   shoes.
plodding heavy and dark surrounding
                        silence -- a weight
                           over head hands and
                        doors wedged open 
                              to the dark of night

4:45 PM

i live in the here and now
in a time of struggle and strife
hoping for more than i have
looking towards a better life

that's all anyone can do 
work at being better
look for something new
trying to improve

as the now fades into yesterday
and tomorrow becomes today
we must be ready to continue on
down our bumpy ways

yesterday is gone
tomorrow is not yet here
all there is, and ever was, 
is now.  

part 1
Once there was a Baptist minister named Joe who had a vibrator he wanted 
to get rid of. So he started giving religious speeches all over to 
convince people to take the vibrator from him. He was unsuccessful until 
one day the janitor, whose name was Roy, accidentally connected the radio 
to the PA system. When Joe began to speak, "Detachable Penis" came out of 
the speakers. This actually turned out okay, because one of the people 
who happened to be there heard it and thought it was Joe talking and they 
wanted to buy the vibrator for $200.04. But the vibrator didn't have any 
batteries because Joe had lost them. So he went to the grocery store to 
buy some, but they didn't have any because they didn't sell batteries any 
more and they only sold raisins.

part 2
So then Joe went to the drug store to buy some batteries, only when he 
went in the clerk thought he wanted condoms, because he used to be a 
Catholic and when he was he liked to bugger the altar boys. But he told 
the clerk that he wanted batteries and the clerk said that they didn't 
have any batteries because the grocery store down the street was throwing 
away all their batteries because they only sell raisins now and one of 
the people who worked at the drug store was a retard and used to work for 
microsoft so he threw out all the batteries too. But the clerk told Joe 
that since they didn't have any batteries he would get a free prize which 
was a condom. Joe thanked the clerk and gave the guy who wanted to buy 
the vibrator the condom instead of batteries.
