it’s true those dead zombies mumble and grunt but don’t speak a specific language. I watch too much TV. Ha!
The second poem called poem YES!!!!!!! it all ending up as mystery, my favorite state of mind, next to being drunk and high. They got this resin at the cannnabis dispensary. here… texture like wax…sprinkle some on buds and i swear to hendrix, i have no idea where i am which is why i only smoke it when i’m in my apartment with the door locked and typically send emails that don’t make sense to me when i read my “sent messages” the next morning.
“And a loose mayhem of birds
For a heartbeat.”————-wow. that is a state of mind too or a state of heart, totally out of the routine and predictable……very disruptive, but who can turn down a crush? I get them all the time on bands, food, animals, and yes, humans too and i want more and more crushes or no i don’t or yes, i do.

You gotta go with the mystery! I’ve heard about the resin. Sounds crazy. I like the idea of a crush on bands and animals and everything else. Keeps on engaged!

is that the one with the giant red ball that trampled everyone or am i mixing that up with carry and all that blood? anyway, i wound up buying kief instead of resin and it’s good, leaves a good aftertaste too and then washed down with an IPA. life is good today.

Good to hear!! Sounds like a good day. The Blob was one of those b-movies in the 50’s. Really cool. Worth the watch.

my cultural handicap rears its ugly face again. i gotta watch the blob. i think as a kid i was so focused on baseball that i didn’t pay attention to anything else except football and basketball. so i always feel like i’m doing catch up and i appreciate the patience all the people have for me over the years.

i’m late to science fiction absurdity but now i love it. been watching twilight zone shows. those are great or some of them anyway and they have some about bomb shelters or one anyway and i saw that one and i liked the representation of fear and what it causes people to do and maybe like they said in that movie WAR GAMES – “global thermonuclear war.” it’s a good movie. mathew broderick. great movie. anyway, but we’ve talked about this before Bob……the propoganda against ET’s, making them all seem so unrealistic and most of the time mean. back to the mystery conclusion in one of your poems in this post. yessssssss. thanks Bob.

Love Twilight Zone. And Joshua in War Games was prophetic, “the only way to win is not to play” so classic. So right about the Aliens….so unrealistic. Keeping that mystery open!

i think in might try and find war games and watch it again. i just started rearranging my books, putting them in new categories and it’s like rediscovering each book for the first time. I’m glad i’ve never thrown away any of my books. it feels like murdering someone.
