good morning tom

[mindbum]

good morning tom--

it looks like. it feels like
i keep having lunch
with yr relatives
& never get
to dine with ye.

i must be missing
you by now.

the most delicious recent repast
i have to tell you about
is ted sturgeon.

it's been a long
time since he and i've broke bread.
we have an easy time
picking up where we left off.
it seems like
it all happened before.
or happened again.
or it's gonna happen anyway.
inevitable is easy.
me & ted can meetup
pretty much anywhere
but it's not like either of us
are particularly enthralled
with heading uptown for food.
unless it ws to spend the day in harlem.

and then, well, there's ron goulart.
this is the third paperback of his i've read.
they all mention book release parties & signings
in supermarkets.

do you know anything about this?
i guess maybe you havent
done that either.
because books really belong in the supermarket?
they were my favorite thing
at the grocery store
when i was a kid. now,
it's schlitz
or fancy organic breakfast cereal.

ron goulart is very funny.
better than average. this one's
called 'shaggy planet'. i have an idea
where it's going.
i think somethings turning people into dogs.
but our hero's looking for a missing person.

so, tom, when you comin by?
we could meet up somewhere cheap for lunch.
la bonbonniere on 8av maybe.
or odessa's always easy.

or we could have dinner at the aquacade.
havent had a dinner party in a damn long time.
you can dress up like groucho.
it useto be a world where a disguise
could get you out of anything.
and probably in.

ron goulart writes murdermysteries
starring groucho these days.

maybe, you could pretend to be him.
that way i dont have to write him a letter too.

in shaggy eyebrows & a shoeblack moustache,

thanks for sharing!!

after i wrote this, while i was typing it on the computer. [originally composed on the typewriter] a van morrison song came on with 'feels like, seems like... a brand new day...'

and it ws my morning activity.

so i'm glad you were able to slide along into and through the deja vu.

thanks for reading & respondez.

and it ws my morning activity.

i'm glad you didn't sleep in and miss it. awesome yoga--like a black-and-white cinematic sun salutation.
