Ghost of Blue Town

dawn car
clock on the wall
there was a wild love
faces glued to genitals
we chased the heart of it to the sea
and rented a house there
and came on the floor

the downstairs neighbors accused us
of walking around with our boots on
it was very annoying to them and
driving them crazy
and could we please not do that

please

Sugar - the body makes sugar of alcohol so anyone with high end diabetes can die from a glass of wine.

Or even half a glass.

My friend had diabetes. High end style. It had already cost her both legs and substituted for them a bunch of new paraphernalia. Funnels & tubes & measuring cups & drugs & a wheelchair.

Which she was sitting in the last time I saw her.

The final bit of conversation we had is not important.

Soon after that she was dead. Everyone agreed it was the diabetes. And they were right but it wasn't all the truth.

She passed in the night & her body was discovered by her oldest living son in the morning when he came by to look in on her. He told me about what he saw mentioning as he did so a glass of wine on her bedstand. I asked him was it full? No he said, it was just half full and why would I want to know he asked of me.

I think a man would do well could he spend his whole life in silence. With the possible exception of a well spent "I love you". Everything beyond this is vanity I think.

I have type II which is a shameful disease. Unlike type I which is genetic type II self inflicted. I am not proud of that.

I have heard it said that it is a blessing to die in your sleep. But if I have a choice—ha. I would prefer to die with eyes open, fully conscious. I would like to see it coming. But what does it matter after all.

Been a couple weeks since I told anyone I love them. My nephew I think.
But you are right about that mingo. Yes.

Thx Jack. Read what you posted in the Asylum from that book you spoke of. I liked what the author said about being born into culture as well as nature. Got me wondering what kind of culture Adam & Eve had. I don't think they had the need for one. There was no death and culture (and civilization) is a response to the presence of death.

Don't know if I want my eyes open or closed when death comes. I do not want a lingering, wasting sort of death. If the choice was mine that is. Except for some bit of anxiety on the point it is not of great concern. I will drink of the cup I am given trusting in hope against all hope that He who hands it to me knows what He is doing.

It's snowing here. Houses always seem cozier when it's snowing outside. At least that's the way it's always seemed to me.

My talk of death is bravado
somehow it seems less frightening to face it than to die in my sleep.
Another book I been reading off and on for a couple of years

The Denial of Death

“Heroism is the first and foremost reflex of the terror of death” (DD, 11). “Our central calling, our main task on this planet, is the heroic”

http://www.amazon.com/Denial-Death-Erne ... 0684832402

We missed the snow. There was a time when I dreaded snow

Snow is life and death when you are going up to Monarch Pass in a truck. So beautiful so terrible. I never should have been there. I being crazy brave. Because I was ashamed of my fear so.. My alligator vanity gets my canary ass in trouble once again. The farmer where I picked up my load of onions on the western slope warned me not to go up the mountain if I could not see any daylight between the summit and the clouds.

But it was so beautiful when I got to the summit, so still and quiet with snowflakes as big as hubcaps falling from a blackened sky above the tall pine trees on either side. It was worth it.

I am going I need to take bettercare of myself.
I been moving on these past months. Behavior I thought was wired in has been changing with a little help from my cyber pals

Post by **the mingo** » December 8th, 2009, 2:48 pm

I'm up I'm up already! Don't know what I can do about the weather but I'm always good for an earthquake or two or a decent flood. Thunder and lightning. I've tried tornados but they always get out of hand on me. So I stay away from that. I just get SO excited ya know.
