Unemployed 
          in Austin
Won't live
          in a 
          Fast Food dementia
          real job focus
Nothing here
          but offramp hip bands
                    all sound the same
There's nothing more desperate than being hip

There's no weird here
          just office management,
was a here, here
          once
now eaten by road right of way SUV deathmachine 
                    OUT OF MY WAY FUCKER!!
and parking.
Austin:  the town of everything shoved into little corners
                    with large trucks floating around.
 

August 19, noon

Nontraditional individualists
that
happen
to get along, Carrie and I

Austin, a dream
          from which I have awakened
          in a sweat and dizzy.

I rue going "home"
          to yipping dogs
and the TV altar of horrific sign language pretty boy love stories.
