everything changes in Ballard
all things tiresome get
     renewed again
          even extra minutes

R & J take off across the country
   on their motorcycle
     an opportunity to watch
   an old pal
      who I'd known since he
          couldn't chew bones.

the change from smothered to
   girl was sudden and
     incongruous

we live our lives in Tivo
   fast forward modes

put the monument back up
     measure the corners of the yard

Maybe is a god that should
   be added to the pantheon
his representative plant
   can be picked arbitrarily
     and then abandoned
