Description Followed by black cat Luna
downtown shortly after
12:32 I assume
thats thirty-two minutes
past midnight
air conditioner streets
looks like person up ahead's
dripping drunk
finding way home
loud kitchens
up late talking windows open
sewer lid
copper street lights
hedge
must stop while Luna sniffs its flower
Nick Holt's house
no one home or
having dreams
Bare foot like black cat
turning corner
off Ball's Lane
no wind from universe
or cars
bats
blown open pizza box
grease stains
finally a car get off the road
puddle
crooked concrete
went down another street
changed mind turning back
sizzling power box
atop hydro pole
electric pond pump trickle
somewhere behind fence
flat squirrel
squirrel no more
empty.
First cricket Ive heard this summer
insects look like snowfall
within glow of spotlight
hope I don't see a cop
because what the fuck
am I doing shoeless
writing, 1 am by now
onlookers clueless.
Black cat get off pesticide grass!
I see someone down there
...mosquitos could at least ask.
Can opened somewhere, beer?
Voices, beer voices?
Arrive home.

well in this good ol' town we have little white posters stuck into the grass on every lawn that has been treated by pesticides in the great war against dandillions and overall health. one night i was biking through a parking lot of a mall and they had a big truck spraying (LATE at night minf you) and it was in the wind and i couldn't get away. i felt totally at bay. felt disgusting, i couldn't beleive that people just don't understand that it is a poison meant to kill biological organisms and we just spray it around as if it were a water gun fight. .......... insane people. let's play in the poison.

anyway...

thank you for your great words, they are very appreciated, and yep its real.
i was just going to sit on the curb outside my house but the mosquitos were on me so i went for a walk around a few blocks instead. the mosquiots were everywhere anyway. luna followed along in the shadows and occasionally stopped to investigate other people's porches. i'm probably going to do this again but in other areas. or just move on to other ideas completely.

-love

THAT




is called art in motion. You were writing this as you walked around town without shoes, and with a cat?? That's all real?? because you described it perfectly, like your thoughts simply are the poem. I love it. by favorite parts:

"finally a car get off the road"
"Black cat get off pesticide grass!" but how did you know it was pesticide grass?
"Can opened somewhere, beer?
Voices, beer voices?"

All this sounds like the running dialog in my head when I'm alone walking around. I'm SO ing this!
