It’s funny we say—Brrr-when we are cold, but there is no hot monosyllabic equivalent…if we swung to the opposite end of the alphabet—one off, you know–it could be Y. Y is it so damn hot…Y don’t we have a swimming pool…Y is the sidewalk melting?
Just sayin’

Tired of resting on my laurels & sycamore, more, more society, I treed something else. ‘Went to the beech and met a nut named Ash. We became fast fronds—it helped he had weeds—I hope you conifer what I mean, wink wink
(I’m sequoia)
Anyway, we made a bract. A pithy bract, and if you’re aspen what kind of bract, well the core of it was:
f*ck yew & the horse you rhododendron…

I left
my notes for so long
–I lost them
wadded Post its
went missing,
graffiti’ed gum wrappers
got tossed,
recordings remained unheard,
and the back of hands
–washed without reference
the grit of urban scrawl
obscuring the wanderers
who lacked ingress
and floundered in the
Great Known
–an unknown knows nothing of
the nature of maps,
–unknown unmapped
the wisdom of asking directions,
–unknown ungrounded
the foresight of itinerary,
–unknown unpenned
and grasping that threads
need fingers
to complete loops
(bows & lassos)
I wove what stragglers
endured–
refuting
a concrete existence.

Me, Myself & Evil I,
Alternate as succubi
And since we are a succubus,
It’s better you not f**k with us.
