but i am sure everything is changed the whole place was renovated a few years ago… you must have walked the streets until after midnight but here you are at last! knowledge of nature will get you through every time i did not sink under my torments but did feel a horrible anticipation the poor are generous, and sometimes keep gerbils as pets you look wonderful! those torments never had a chance against you a gerbil is different from a hamster, i am told even poor people have time on their hands these days and are horribly afraid of being kidnapped by demons what did i come here for? my tormentor was outwardly a civilized gentleman i was down on the program for one number don juan on the caravan to nowhere the temptation was too strong for poor juan and he wrapped his soul in brown paper wondering why he had been born “if nature had a balance, it would not be nature” he intoned with his bright beady eyes looking into mine you know i am absurdly in love what are you so afraid of? knowledge of nature is only half the task here you are at last! i realize you are feeling a horrible anticipation as we all do every day and night of our lives we are all absurdly in love sources: the time machine, by h g wells; the island of dr moreau, by h g wells; “a haunted house” by virginia woolf; three lives, by gertrude stein; the thirty-nine steps, by john buchan; “the black monk”, by anton chekhov; confessions of an english opium-eater, by thomas de quincey; rasselas, by samuel johnson; ”the dilettante”, by edith wharton; autobiography of an ex-colored man, by james weldon johnson; up from slavery, by booker t washington; adventures of tom sawyer, by mark twain

by bofa xesjum

as a child i always hated the law of gravity and had dreams of burrowing to the center off the earth while dad read his newspaper if i ever get the chance and i am not too busy that day i will tell jody to go away and stop bothering me how was i supposed to know they were caught making whoopee behind the bandstand but they gave me my first big break every day i’ve got the blues and every day i look for a new thrill they tell me i should know better i had dreams once, big dreams you would laugh if i told you i know, i know, you’ve heard it all before as a child i hated the chains of society and being told i should keep busy but i loved the sound of the rain this world isn’t big enough for me i heard that lonesome whistle blow you haven’t heard it quite the same way i was a strange child as you know all too well don’t make me point my steely gaze at you forget you ever knew me just a guy who went looking for thrills but was never too busy to help a pal

the sad alligator

greasy eggs, greasy bacon wind and rain the house is shaking the snail crawls in the shadow of the 18-wheeler the whale dives deeper onion soup for lunch not again, not again rain batters the tent he tried very hard he made the most sincere effort - "glad to replace it" to forgive is not so hard, is it? dewdrops desperate in the afternoon the frog watches the dancing sunbeams the red beetles brushing vanilla cookie crumbs from his blue suspenders flowers watch slowly “maybe i just didn’t get it” catch you guys later i thought life was real sad alligator white flamingo pink moon there is no place like home a shadow in a green sky running for her life but i am dead
