(people walking alongside of us) (pews filled up on both sides) (shine through the gloom and point me to the skies) (i have seen him in a cow pasture) (god holds the germ in his hand) (the darkness deepens) (follow me) (fast falls the eventide) (i will make you) (come in terrors) (leave) i remember reading these things during THE POTLUCK and wanting to ball up in a corner. instead i ate my yellowed potatoes beside the oldest man i have ever seen. he had puffy yellow spittle running down his chin. people yelled at him when they wanted to know how he was doing. he was doing alright. WOULD HE LIKE SOME MORE LEMONAIDE? he didn't want no lemonaide, leave him alone. that was what he wanted. naomi said i was a genius after i spilled a green gelatin substance on the floor. it felt like it was my brain. so then i cleaned most of my brain up with a napkin and rubbed my frontal lobe into the carpet and then i opened and closed the flaps of my ears like steven dedalus. so i was thinking today i don't have to do that anymore if i didn't want to. surely i don't want to. i wonder about some things, though. then i got bored after i thought all of my thoughts out into the open air where the flew away on tired wings that are like the wings that carry around sad songs like the one PHIL ELVRUM plays on his guitar. here are some pictures i took photo-graffs to curb this boredom, much as you would curb a dog so that its excretement does not hit your shoe. 1. i ate waffles to-day on the lawn. these are SPECIAL waffles with "strawberry mush" stuffed inside of them. if you have seen the commercials, you know they consist of a helpless strawberry entity "rocking out" in a music store, oblivious to oncoming danger in the form of a PLAIN waffle fueled by its desire to be something MORE. it violently attacks and DEVOURS this strawberry thing and then walks out of the music store with its belly saggy and jiggling. in any case, this wa-fful (that it its name) looks as though it is filled with CARNAGE and not strawberry jam. 2. i sewed to-day. 3. RAIN RAIN RAIN 4. it is time for a barbeque! call the kids! GET THE BASTING SAUCE! and so forth. 5. the cellar is a place to have sci-fi sound effects contests. i never win these. today i was close. the winner gets to climb trees. 6. i spy on my neighbor. here he is seen in his native habitat, mowing the lawn. 7. pomegranates are TAST-E. i plucked this from my neighbor's bush, but here is a question for ALERT READERS: is this thing RIPE? can i EAT its seeds without turning insane and whatnot? 8. here are three birds on a wire, such as the "sharon, lois, and bram" song from your youth. 9. i listen to my UNCLE DWAYNE's band from the 70's; "the singin' trav'lers from pepperdine university." here is what the back of the album cover says: A university...pepperdine university...is many things. it's books and learning and studying and getting involved and LAUGHING AND SINGING. the singin' trav'lers ARE pepperdine university-they study, they learn (hopefully), they get involved, they LAUGH, and they SING. in fact, they sing a variety of sparkling songs in a refreshing style that appeals to practically everyone. ...the singin' trav'lers simply "try to take a little happiness, a little bit of love, a little bit of togetherness, and a little bit of jesus" to people wherever they go. i stop listening to them after a while. 10. then JESUS CHRIST squinted his glowing eye at me and said, "i have you under my spell!"
