Fuzzy Pumper Barbershop

July 7, 2010

the brown note radiates like ripples on a pond
pumped from an old Oldsmobile subwoofer
deep within a subterranean parking garage

freshly painted lane lines line up the same way
traffic signals timed in sequence for a weekday
same street signs   same streets    same day  
when it's OK to drive on one-ways the wrong way
Korean Canadian tourists in German sedans
South African visitors in Japanese SUVs
Idaho plates seeking sweet sales at REI
Oregon plates weaseling sales tax exemption

my way your way either way any way
pick up next-days and do them right away
"OK  whatever you say"       Mister Dispatcher
making up the rules as you go along
it’s all part of the little games you play

4-square
in a round room

righty tighty but lefty righty tighty too
can I get Italian cups on a 115 spindle
with a side of loose balls to go?     please

give me your tired    your huddled masses
your poorly adjusted cantilever brakes
singing squealing squawking screaming
Edvard Munch descending Seneca
Kool-Stop resonance    harmonic dissonance
all you haters   keep your distance

I raise my glass to John Denver who came through for me today with 77% of a Shimano cartridge bottom bracket Italian threads and a 115 spindle. Word. I jury-rigged the non-drive-side cup with parts from the old loose ball setup but I bet it's close enough. Cheers to you John and here's to the purple Bianchi.
