lyrics for my black metal band about bicycling

the abstraction of sky
the glance behind sunglasses
foot locked, wide laned

they are actively trying to run me over.

race the train
dehydration
no one cares
no one pays attention

the taste of blood.

If you almost shut your eyes, the world becomes a blur (but not really)

When we were young and on the way home from Joliet from family gatherings (in the white cushioned chair, high backed and gold leafed, up on the carpet like a dry riverbed, I had slapped my aunt for eating my Christmas present candy), the moon would follow us. Peering out of the Caravan window, I watch it stay even with us on the highway because, it too, was going where we were, at an even pace.

Since then, though, it has been held in stasis by scientific maturity.

Congrats on Life Haiku

Yelling through your blue
tooth with your car window down
in a parking lot.

Yesterday, I saw two teenagers jump off the Tower Bridge and other Items

Item! Yesterday, I saw two teenagers jump off the Tower Bridge. One was slightly more prepared than the other, and had brought a wet suit. I had just got on the bridge as I saw their heads go over the side. I pulled my bicycle over to the side at the point where I had last seen them. They were laughing and trying to catch their breath from the cold. I watched until they swam to shore, relieved that I would not have to put off dinner to call an ambulance or a morgue boat. Kids these days.
Item! Frozen na'an from Trader Joe's is delicious. I had decided this even before I had tried it. And then, when I tried it, I continued to believe the previously stated statement.
Item! For the next 10 days, I will be living like a king, assuming kings wake up at 10 am to watch The Price Is Right and then spend the rest of the day trying to find cable television shows on the internet. That is how kings live, correct?
Item! I know this is old news, but it is still hard to believe that Michael Jackson is a dead pop star rather than a living pedophile.
