Having happened that way I suddenly system to heart & building carefully person the rest of the piece with pattern. I walked out the door this morning and stepped right into a pile of mind. The day stood up - what a size everything was! The birds were all blue and had big bills. Such anythings were a gone boat "o that's a fine idea" I said to myself - ice Indians on the outskirts and weather within, why not? I could go for an oatmeat sammidge right about now!

Afterwards it will be time to go and shoot the river. We'll ship it simple to a complete scientist in the winter but keep all the language for ourselves as we will need it to backfill the holes. There are some hot hours coming up - say we could go to Texas! Jack lives there - he started the whole oatmeat thing to begin with & we could be right there to see into the horse's mouth!

Oatmeat history in the making! It will be grand! Fox News will be trying to find us for interviews. We'll have to make a run for it! Slip out the back into wild blue America!
A cloud of dust is all we'll leave behind.

yeah, just grand all around!

" Wherever he laid his hat was his home" - Papa was a Rolling Stone - The Temptations

Dog wakes up in the morning, gotta go out. Everything is driven. We all got somethin' on our backs. We all got to answer to necessities. Even our dreams are not ours. I watch the dog sniff and lift his leg next to the old well. Does a dog have buddha nature? asks the old zen koan. Curtis Mayfield told the mind was diamond in the back sunroof top big in the seam with a gangster lean -

sunday morning ... being thankful - next breath ... next breath ... next breath

woo - hoo - ooo

Boys & their sticks are treeless reaching back in memory at riverside, an ancient practice not supported by archeology but by imagination and a great deal of fun.

"The rhythm of language gets in your bones"
The Book of Dogs - Anon.

Life - it's all a soundtrack to a Jewish movie
I got popcorn and a girl named Louie
healthy Gentiles everywhere
I come through the door singing a song
and breathin' the air
rooster up on a fence
he don't need words
or any sentence
he calls out to the rising sun
he says hey Baby quit peckin' the ground
raise your head look around
it's time for fun

The world would be a better place if every one would eat a bowl of Cheerios and contemplate that bowl and the cereal within it.

Cornflakes wouldn't work. Too flat.

But a cheerio has that pleasing round shape. And so many of them all in that bowl lookin up at you.

"... all of 'em Zen Lunatics who go about writing poems that happen to appear in their heads for no reason ..."
The Dharma Bums - J Kerouac

Really? "for no reason" ??? you can trace cause & effect sure but reason? Guess not. besides there is no reason for anything - the ant tackles the mountain - so maybe he's right. My father believed in reason even if he never expounded the philosophy formally - I could see his actions and read that - he was a dyed-in-the-wool kind of guy - a real if - then operator.

He bet on the horses too
and played the lottery
so he wasn't without a certain degree of mystical notions ...

Tweety Bird cartoons made him laugh every time.

His bones gone back to the earth a long time ago now. Bones in the earth.

We would breathe together from time to time. I think about him when I'm out on the water in my kayak. Especially on Lake Ontario - a couple a hundred yards out from shore just going along - that's when those moments that I felt we were "with" come out of me, never those moments when we were "without" ... I watch the small waves my bow makes cutting over the water and the circular ripples that begin where my paddle enters the water for the next forward pull ... my father was not one for boats ... he would have probably shaken his head at my love of the kayak -

I remember my surprise the day I found out he bet on the horses - and the day a couple of weeks before he died when I went out to his house & took his car to run errands for my mother. I opened the door and was astonished at the lottery tickets blanketing the floor front and rear - like snow - I've often attempted to write a poem about that moment - I can get the scene down no prob but the experience of it I can't get into words much less language either by leaving it in or leaving it out ...

The Eskimos & the Aleuts say that the kayak & The People came into being at the same moment ... I think that is a truth ... their word "kayak" means "man's boat" and better, "hunter's boat" - and not yet being able to write a simple poem about one moment where my father's life and mine came together "for no reason" is why I go out there on the lake into that zone a couple hundred yards out & a bit where the 'with" moments of him & me come up out of me -

and I am hunting there ...

... and a bit more mystical than my father ever was.
