on the T.V.
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death
No match for last nights escapades
Crushed Malaysian aluminum in the second lane
So of course the usual lollygaggers slowed the trek
causing me to scream obscenities
at motionless Hondas and Saturns

I'd escaped the hood with the blue pandas
loosely wrapped in white tissue
and sitting on the floor mat with the cat piss

Finally I broke free of the congestion
rolling a smooth seventy towards sure boredom
my new musical concoction being belted out
slow acoustic stylings
that keep the cracked vocals flowing
stir the seat of my passion...
the beach grows distant

Eventually I arrive at the destination location
the pandas are pushed into my pants pocket
then I parade past the people on the patio to piss

Now, having regained focus, I find my guy
and leave him to the dirty work
casually I engage a conversation and then a corona
familiar faces greet and mumble the same question
I redirect them to my spokesperson
and eat a red tortilla chip

Later, in a darkened corner of the living room
A former homecoming queen
offers me some choice services
in exchange for some of the desired goods
So I test taste for awhile
Quiz and cross her boundaries
which concede and recede into nothingness
and then take a minute to consult my inventory

Upon review I see that I'm in the green
but stretch the drama out anyway
to strengthen any future stance
with those keeping a watchful eye
I then quietly and quickly erect my stature
taking payment from her in the laundry room
on the folding table

After I'm done with the laundry
I give her the reward she craves
taking notice that the true cost
is finally being realized
becoming apparent in her eyes
that, however, is not an issue with which I deal
I leave that to the high priced psychiatrists
who also happen to dial me up on a regular basis
to fill their "needs"

My man is having a drink
it appears we've sold out already
I do the math quickly, smile
and then
offer him the usual distribution fee choices
as usual he leaves the cash
and is off to mingle and meld with the crowd
I have a few more drinks, pondering the possibilities
thinking about the money
which tripled in less than ninety minutes

On the way out
i buy a raffle ticket
they say the proceeds go to some charitable thing or another
and I am always good for helping out
my fellow man

I think I know this guy.

In fact, I could've been this guy.

(hormone trouble yanno... )

You are a remarkable writer.

Dang if this isn't another drop of genius.
You are unreal.
