late february in the vicinity of Tug Hill Plateau - I mean it has to change soon, right?
5 feet of snow outside my front door - a few degrees above zero - where are the angels? I want angels with guns! or at least a sense of humor - all these back country roads just calling me and my bike leaning up against the wall in a dry room - winter got me twisted up -

[WIREMAN]

the change is about to come....

[the mingo]

I hope soon because all I can see from here is the tunnel at the end of the light

[WIREMAN]

....it'll all be a bad memory by april.....whats killin me is now theyre gonna wanna make up for all the lost time on my job....kinda fucks the weekends for the foreseeable future...ugh!

[the mingo]

I hadn't thought about that but you're right that's just exactly the way it will go - new snowblower in the box out in my driveway - trouble is I have to do some assembly - don't have a shed or anyplace to do that and it's snowing & the wind is romping - the woman will get home and ask me why the snowblower is still in the box - because it's a blizzard out there & I did't fancy dealing with screws & nuts & bullshit in high wind & snow and she'll just look at me, ya know ... - i'm watching snow devils the size of small tornados go across the yard - for all I know this could go on 'til doomsday - i am hunkered & bunkered

[WIREMAN]

[WIREMAN]

layin low tonight, but they sure are goin at it downstairs at the cuban place....ugh!

[the mingo]

cubana vanahave! All hail hot blood! my skies are gray but no snow at the moment - maybe even finish assembly of snowblower. I'll need something to keep the snow off Castro's grave! Is he dead yet that's about how i keep up with world affairs today - news of when people die - don't listen to the newcomers though - they all should take of the practice of 'ku or short form -
keeps one busy and out of mischief - stuff is addicting - Basho just had to stir the pot the ol' trouble maker - now here i am sitting on the west slopes of Tug Hill Plateau looking at snow and going -

sea eats stone
by rounding it
first

see? and then looking at to see if there is any word not needful - nothin' but trouble I tell ya.

the hound seems to like it up here just fine i think - his nose tells him much i can't see - if i had his olfactory abilities i could smell every woman immediate & overwhelming from 50 yards off - it would just be more trouble -

guess i had to get old for the 'ku to become fascinating to me -

steaming goose shit
frozen landscape
one + one = one

HA! - ain't no snow in my ear canals - no trees around the longhouse here, my view of the night sky is awesome - you should see the moon and stars up here I'm telling ya you're gonna be the LiPo of Fredrock before all is said & done

over taters
under writers
beware the sour puss

the form, haiku with ease we slide on the ice of it, as did jack w/jazz in daze of yore.....
