to boldly go
where herds have gone before
set phases to trend
lather rinse repeat
it’s like so yesterday ago
it’s like this and like that and
like this too shall pass

The Active Voice Building

sitting in the window seat
slack jaw staring endlessly
at the scenery
apparently
actually
looking at a laptop
streaming live video
from a camera mounted
just outside the window

poor little mixte
stripped of its cranks
front wheel was first to go
symbolically representational smells like
piss poor poetry perfect placement project
abandoned building stalled in this economy
as worthless as last year’s J Crew catalog

100% Not Cotton

Today is the day
This is it really and
This time it’s for real
Today is the day
To try the same thing
and expect different results
Second guessing wardrobe decisions within six blocks of home and nine more hours of work to ride out is not a worthwhile pastime. However it is completely normal on a wet 53° Tuesday still stuck in the context of summer and orbiting the promise of Labor Day weekend like a lawn chair left in the rain representing what might have been but still hoping for what could be.
Can’t you smell that smell? Sitting standing by leaving wet spots on office building lobby furniture like soaked diaper prints spiced with road grime and unable to isolate the precise location of the odor but well aware of the smell of several months of sweet saved-up sweat unleashed by heavy rains from shoes, hats, helmets and bags especially the shoulder strap padding on dank DANK bags.
Thanks, I’ll take the next elevator… …except at One Union.
In Seattle, Tuesday could have been in February or November or April or August.
Made it through August with no fenders. Not because I didn’t need them but because it was another arbitrary goal to set and achieve looking only to the calendar and not to the weather. Like refusing to turn on the furnace until Halloween, Like not wearing gloves until November. Like not installing a front fender until December.
It’s important to have goals.

What happens on RAGBRAI stays on the internet.
Water water everywhere and it’s not what you think. I have no recollection of the events in question because I was not in the central time zone less than 51 weeks before the alleged incident took place. However, no animals were harmed in the production of this production and no photoshop was necessary so it’s all in fun. Voluntary fun. Disposable income paid vacation recreation fun. Tallboy popping out of 12-ounce coozie fun.
slow down you move too fast
got to make your Monday last
when one‘s enough
two’s too many

"...why do you ask, Two Dogs Fucking?"
August 25, 2010
the first step is admitting
Houston we have a problem
with or without
express written consent
what’s the holdup
held to a different standard
holding up laying down
groundwork a foundation
for over expectation
now it’s too late to revert
to mediocre pedestrian
how about a courtesy flush
for the environment
Seattle sits in seats
facing away from each other
all the better to not see you with
this might be offensive
a fist full of dollars
now buys half as much
listen hear my friend
do me a favor don’t do me any favors
playing good cholesterol bad cholesterol
store in a cool dry place
press firmly on an empty stomach
do not write below this line

have good day

The Logan Deli will be closing down as of Friday 8/27/10. It’s been in business, hidden in the basement of the Logan Building since 1985 and under current ownership since 1997. However, it can no longer survive in this economic climate (insert sound bite here) and so on and so forth. The handwritten sign in the window sums it up well and brought a tear to my eye.
Over the past several years it’s been one of my favorite Mom & Pops. Without question it's my all-time favorite subterranean Korean Deli curry chicken special. Thursday’s Mongolian Beef special had a loyal lunchhour following with lines out the door. On rainy days sitting in a folding chair perusing People magazine listening to Burt Bacharach and loading on the Sriracha, it was a basement dining experience unlike anything in Seattle.

This is an egg
This is an egg in a frying pan
This is your brain
This is your brain regurgitating Reagan Years

This is Jim
This is Jim barfing up Peggy’s cupcakes in the breakroom

possessed by demons
exorcised daily exercise
cyclical circular cycles

how much respect

life expectancy actually
like a strip mall

what did you expect
a ref with a red card
held aloft for all to see
ant colonies pickup and move
popup in a new groove

whac-a-mole rope-a-dope
