we took the boat to the damp's house
people drank a lot of beer on the dock
and on the porch
there was a large metal thing
for cooking clams
it got late as boats started speeding
off in orange lit water
then we trolled home in the black water
looking into the warm houses
with our hoods up and towels around us
our house was quiet, a little cold
because we didn't have a fire like usual
i crawled into my top bunk
and it was pitch accept for the blue light
on the grass beyond the pine tree
a bear came to the diamond-paned window
and waved to me
i rolled over and shivered until the blankets
filled with my body heat

i don't think people who have to clean urinals have to put their hands in them unless there is chewed gum in the urinals

i look at the chewed gum and think about the urge you get when you're chewing gum, looking into the urinal

i'm thinking about a movie i saw earlier. a warm feeling of appreciation follows the thought.

there is a little palm tree coming out from behind the letters on my coconut water container.

in 2019 hopefully i will be looking at my hands and wondering about something.
in 2019 i will have a warm feeling of appreciation for a person in my life.

a friend is someone you feel good around.

the angry house wife left the house
she was gone for a while
then i saw her at the game
she asked me how my
mother's parents were
and i didn't remember
that i knew her mother died
she smiled at me,
wearing a fur coat
i remembered the angry
house wife and her mother
while walking down a city street
