i’m in a fine mood
it's 12:30
on a Sunday afternoon -
May 5TH, 2009
the spring sun is shining
the cacti in the window are blooming
and I just took a shit
that made me feel 10 pounds lighter
and 10 years younger
I step into my roommates room
maybe he wants to join me on the porch
for a cup of tea…
his door is open
but his room is vacant
nothing but ghosts
silence
defeat
but wait…
smiling up at me
from a cardboard box on the floor
is a neil young with crazy horse album
tea
eggs
sourdough toast
sunshine and crazy horse on the porch
yes, yes
a fine way to start the day.
I grab the album
open the case
what the fuck.
what the fuck.
what the fuck.
what the fuck.
what the fuck.
no neil
no crazy
no horse
inside sits the postal service*
smirking up at me
with a shit eating grin
made of drum machines
boring pop keyboards
and nancy boy lyrics
fuck you dan.
fuck
you.
*i'm sure these boys are noteworthy musicians of superb merit, but it's just not my cup of tea...
