August 1, midnight
(Waterloo, Iowa, My Parents' Living Room)
"Polyester Broad"
?? or Bride?
I'm in love
with this woman
singing on Iowa
Public Television
no clue who she is.
It is "bride"
Whatever.
Now what about the integration of humanity
into the cosmos?
Do we really need Rambo?
WGN?
No --
fuck TV
fuck Woodstock '99
riot coverage.
All I need
is Taoist Zen
Born again Christian Pagan Bad ass Zeal
and my dog.
Now, that's integration,
damn, this girl
is cute.
August 1, noon
(Waterloo, Iowa, Parents' Upstairs Bathroom)
My car is packed.
Dog (Garcia) too nervous for his own good,
insane, knows I'm leaving, unable to understand
he's coming, too. (I've left him twice and now he's paranoid)
Or maybe he knows he's going and doesn't want to . . .
addicted to tapioca pudding, soft serve ice cream, yogurt, T-bones, and
whatever else my parents gave him when I was in the Summer Writing Program.
I don't think he wants to leave.
Tough shit
in 16 hours (4:AM)
we're on the road.
No more Waterloo spoils,
back to the life as a pet of a starving artist.
Although, I don't plan on any starving
and Garcia isn't a pet . . .
Well, work something out.
