I ran across something too while viewing a BBC documentary on Godzilla - the statement was made & I quote -

"how can you have a Godzilla that does not require you to dream??"

“dreaming in league with God,”

Thing about the Wendigo is he or she is an eternal appetite what can't ever be satisfied - every time it eats its appetite grows larger & must eat more & no way out of it - talk about a living hell - it was the Algonguins gave us the tales of Wendigo - then when the Iroquois moved in here they picked up the tales just before they kicked the Algonquins out to the east & south - tales of these creatures go north into Canada and as far west as Minnesota - wherever the Algonguins once lived - today we would call it a psychological condition -

it's all in our heads, eh?

“remember [that] the weak, meek and ignorant are always good targets.”

All in my head I am sure, it's all in there. Sometimes I want to pop the hood open on my skull and look in there. You know check things out, make sure the fan belt on my search engine is ok.

i don't think my left brain wants to know what my right brain is up too ever - they are supposed to work together or something like that, right? left brain considers right brain to be a cesspool of anarchy - right brain thinks left brain has corncob up ass - it's hell for sure - the right brain is my favorite but i love the left too - it's a wonder i can even ride a bicycle - right brain knows it has the upper hand though because the left brain is hooked on the drug of right brain's imagination - pure unbridled erotic titillation & lefty just can't get enough of it or say no - one of these days those two are gonna short circuit something major up there & from that point on i'll be walkin' around going do-whacka-do ... maybe they just two coins of the same half & i shouldn't sweat the small stuff -

new bike came in this afternoon - finally ! only had the chance to take two short rides on it & one of those was in deep twilight - with a waxing moon rising to the east - can't say much about it yet but i think i'm gonna enjoy the saddle time on this girl ... one thing i can say is that i have never ridden a 3 speed that felt like this one does - has a "track" frame same as a fixie & it has some "tall" gearing due to the 16 toothed sprocket on the rear hub - very sensitive to your body movements too without being twitchy - easy to maneuver plus the speed is deceptive - i tried to run out 3rd gear on the flats but couldn't do it when i realized i was already running along at a very respectable clip - I wouldn't want to go up against a dedicated road bike but she has more than just a touch of the wolf in her - one thing that will need to be changed out soon is the saddle - sits me right on my tailbone & i ain't packin' enough ass for that

a woman sits in trash
reading a book she found there
she looks content with what she's doing
if the lions show up now & see her
all their burning questions will cease
& they will wish for egypt of the pharohs once again

[judih]

lions tear apart the cursed paperback
sharing prey with no one
woman waits her turn

shovel ass, me too, first thing I did was buy a cushioned seat,

I ride to live literally, somedays Hard to get going but I got to
this morning all goes wrong so I look for a song on youtube to get a kick start

make about five miles rest at the top of the hill Lutheran church, sit by a grave and have a drink, one grave has a bench and one of those double head stones, husband is there waiting on his wife,
I scan the cemetery and notice that most of the graves have double tombstones, that's the way it is supposed to go, or so I suppose, we pair up.
most of us do, others wonder what we came here for, we are not multipliers so I guess I should be fruitful at least...yep i'm fruity tooty toot toot toot
not maybe as much as St. Jack but I write for the children in waiting
maybe one day they will find me useful

you want to see a big cat in Judah your best bet is the Zoo
not since Rommel pulled his tigers out

That song got me out the door too - trying to beat the rain the big tease - rode into town yesterday and yeah that damn seat has got to GO - damn why do bike designers DO that??? A jellyfish couldn't get comfortable on that seat much less any kind of primate - i don't remember torture as part of the package - anyways found that my power reserve and especially my endurance ain't what it was at the end of last season's biking - gonna have to build into it all over again just like last year - it's a ten mile round trip into town & back here to the lodge -
that's what tightened me up last year was that run once a day - grew out from there - still cool here 30 to 40 degrees but a couple of sweatshirts & gloves does the trick - and I can't find my allen key tool - looks just like a jackknife & works the same way - got all these allen keys all together - sure enough if this new bike every damn adjustment on it is allen key -

... eating last night's flat biscuits - with butter & peanut butter & raspberry jam ... such notions that inhabit the mind from moment to moment - look at the barred doors - the barred windows - Cecil's white wall - Jack's graveyard sandwich - judih's down-the-barrel haiku's -
wireman's wires -

forgot why I did not ride yesterday
something gave me the excuse not to

and today I am finding more excuses


the wind is spooking me
only 25 to 30 with gusts higher
that lonesome howling it makes
a banshee or something like it

but the sun is shinning
the banshee is here with me
going to ride god dam it

the left brain right brain, my last girl friend bless her heart, god rest her soul an art teacher, excited about a book called "drawing with your right brain"
that was thirty four years ago

the bicameral mind a book about that, interesting but don't remember much

I think mice are bigger celebrators of the neolithic farming revolution than people - mice especially profited more from that act of human ingenuity than anything else in all their millions of years of existence -

saw a mouse scoot from one hiding place to another in a coffee & donut establishment today ...

didn't ride today either - rain ... my bike stayed inside propped up against the couch -

[stilltrucking]

Five miles I made it finally, sometimes I write got damn, sometimes god damn, I suppose it depends how blasphemous I feel on any given day, but I hardly ever write God Damn unless I am really pissed.

Who do I think I am a righteous man, Job? but even he did not curse god. If there is a hell I suppose that is where crazy mike is, and I am crazy jack, and I may be headed that way too, but I am keeping my heretical faith.

G d help me.

Pussy cats probably started us down this road to H Bombs and ICBM's

This whole thing of evolution is so elegant, irresistible to try for me to conceive the creators hand in it. Makes me appreciate the wild flowers more, Lady Bird wanted to make the Texas motto "The Wild Flower State" but it was not macho enough for the pricks in Austin.
reminds me of that old Waylon Jennings song Lady Bird Is Still the Queen

eight am been up three hours and it is light outside and I ain't been out to see the sky yet.

I have not prayed to the sky yet, I am a fool.

not noticed much yesterday that I remember, except for the wild flowers.
