April 1, 2019

Beto, my blue beta fish, died this morning.

Don’t say, “he’s not with us anymore”, or, “he’s in a better place”, or, “he passed away”. Just say, “he’s dead”

Because that’s what he is: dead!

But he’s not another fish flushed down the toilet

Oh no, he’s more than that:

Yessir! I think he may have swam with the other bioluminescent fish, eating from honeywells, and even roamed with dinosaurs!

Death isn’t about sadness, it’s about happiness!  Don’t focus on the negativity of death, focus on their positivity of living!

listen to the age old comments

You’re breaking my heart,

Over & Over / Again & Again

I’m sick of writing about love

will you B mine?

mangy mutts and raging infernos.

we’re going to bed earlier,

to keep the gray hairs from growing in. 

How long have you been growing your hair out?

as long as I can remember.

Where are you flying to this evening?

anywhere but here. 

….

Hey Baby, what’s your sign?

don’t you worry, you see I was born on the cusp.

Are these actual questions people have asked you?

everything is relative. you tell me.

Do you love me?

....

YOU AND ME / ROUND AND ROUND WE GO / GET WARM

Buddha’s wearing my rosary beads

Morrison’s on my closet door

My nostril has another ring it in it;
bigger than before

I been drinking lots of water

And staying up late;

You haven’t been on my mind much

I need a clean slate

I write down so many notes

I can’t seem to remember it all;

everything in my head

what is true and what is false?

you make my heart sing

and it’s my favorite song;

I don’t know all the words

But won’t you sing along?

I can’t stop thinking about

Hot air balloons on brisk mornings

Or about how pretty your voice is;
I’m sorry for that last line
I promise I’m not that boring

i aint scared of the dark

i aint scared of no sharks

i’m scared that there’ll be a spark

when you and I take a walk in the park

or maybe go look at some art

should I step off or embark?

Listen, listen, listen, you long haired beauty

I got some things I’d like to say to you:

* ** ****** ** ******* ** **** **** *******, * **** ***** *** ** *********

|forget everything I said ~ celebrate life|

💌

deep and firm roots (one and a half years of growth)

we talked on the phone for forty five minutes and then the phone call ended without any explanation

You: “hello i’m sorry my phone died and then took a year to turn back on”

Me: “I’m just glad you’re still alive”

You: “sure am”

You: “i’m glad you’re still kicking”

Me: “with all my might”

Happy Appy & The Infinite Thunder

Turns out I don’t have a whole lot to say

Praying harder than a mantis

Would this be considered mixed media if I SPOKE IN ALL CAPS

Your smile lights up the world

I’m the man who knows too much

I’m the man who doesn’t know enough
