Bandit Notions

[creativesoul]

Morning comes sliding in on the breath of the fog- mysterious and quiet- later on this will melt- and it will be a blazing hot day-- beautiful -
Planted those Japanese maples yesterday and now- they are standing tall facing east -

[the mingo]

afternoon here - that slanty orange light - been foolin' with words all day - tried to get in a ride but the rain was coming on - fooled me though - let down just enough to get everything wet & chilly then moved on but now it's late - almost wanted to damn but I'm still breathin'

[creativesoul]

Been a dog day afternoon- mister - my road dog has had a cast for a number of weeks- my friend Karen just had her foot repaired- I walked in and said" you look like mister" she smiled-- my friend Maura had the metal taken out of her neck- she is being healed here- I am so happy- had guacamole for dinner And beans that had been cooking all day- ah- the days of no bread or cheese are upon us- I feel alive- all the vitamins I'm taking and getting other people to take are working- clear lungs-. Green coffee bean stuff- liver detox and regenerator -and tea - no coffee for me except in the morning- my room mate is out having fun which is fortunate because she operates from stress- always with lists of what she wants done- often looking to me to do it- I am happy- people heal- dogs heal! mister his little cast kind of " slid off" been trying his new paw all day- ah it is so full of oranges and yellow- leaves in the fall-it takes a lot of love- and detaching - to see the bigger picture- aloha-planning a vacation to Mexico- and a swimming jaunt for my friend with the new neck- life is beautiful when you live it! Peace

My hair being trimmed- hot fire in the wood burning stove-a- shower- painting my toe nails purple- air filled with moonlight - velvet leggings- wet hair- hot skin- I can breathe- only good things can come from this-a trailer behind my truck- red tail catering - humus and pesto- kiss the sky- beautiful - sensations previously motionless arriving in packs of wolves- howling with joy-

[the mingo]

Emotionally i can't astonish - i try not to move too fast because then I burn due to friction against whatever surface I'm moving over - sometimes I'm just going to get a drink of water and I burst into flames - coffee cools me down - I don't know how that works but it seems to be a fact if not true altogether - I'm not always comfortable talking about healing or diet due to it's relation and over-reliance on creepy content - alimentary conversation seems to lack the element of humor or rumor - the biological/mechanical overlap can give me the willys - better than the hee-bee-jee-bees i s'pose - the hee-bee jee-bees show up I begin for ways to look out of town - emotionally I can't astonish myself - because of the joints I have walked into coming straight out of the jungle and it's not true that I don't believe in cellphones it's just the constant threat of presence ... scratch that because I've had spaghetti two days in a row and I think we eat what we are - my dog has his own approach to food - sometimes he flat cracks me up - sometimes he can look at you so wise yet the truth is there ain't a damn thing in his head except he's looking at you - when he dies I think I will have to bury him far away from here - i don't want no dog spooks giving me action close up unless they are far away - ghosts seem to localize and are less powerful at a distance - does any of this make any sense? I hope not but I've been noticed to be slipping from time to time in my old age - well, I'll just wave that flag - got to do something with it and I've already slept rolled up in the damn thing so it's time to be different on that score - I think it's the fact that dead people don't eat or excrete that means they don't take up any room - o sure the graveyards take up room but graveyards ain't the dead - I like a juice with a dark edge mostly & some grit has to be in the mix so you can feel the crunch of it like when sand blows into your mouth & you can feel it between your teeth when you bite down - but be careful with that - the dinosaurs were always biting down & look what happened to them - don't take this serious but I think we are all mythological - even when we sit to move our bowels - that's mythological too - and ol' Joseph Campbell had nothing to say about that little revelation - that poser - I'd ask about Oregon but you're goin' to Mexico - Neal Cassady went to Mexico and came back dead - don't you come back dead - you come back alive & bouncy - promise me - I have to sleep now - a journey into the unconscious realms - I don't know why people make such a fuss about it - I go there at least once every day but I never remember what happened there when I come back - I mean what the hell's the big deal? I been funning with words all day - can ya tell?? Bring me back some Mexican words - I'll fun with them too -

I dunno- I am astonished Becky - a woman I met in the hot tub at the gym had a blod clot which gave her a stroke- she is wrestling with her body- she is going to make it work- she has toys she brings to the pool- she floats and walks- she inspires me- then there is ms Maura - having those nuts and bolts taken out of her neck- brave- she is walking talking and cleaning one week out-
So smooth -
Talking about healing and doing it are quite different - I have a really old buddy that doesn't like talking about her gifts- to each his own- can no longer pretend that my life is like anyone else's- around here- seems that is the topic/ herbal medicines and how to can salmon - make black berry jelly/ strawberries in may or June- that tall handsome farmer guy that lives next store- his brother grows the very best strawberries I ever had-- I am imagining a place where people can come heal- growing things in the greenhouse- winter crops- cabbage - it is a whole new world- from the flora and fauna of Kauai to the great northwest- going to cordon blu so I can make it even better-. It feels so good to be creative - makes my lips quiver

mingo having fun with words

we have our own little pet cemetery
I try not to think about the dog that was killed a couple weeks ago, we never found her body, just a pool of blood on the front stoop. We searched and watched for buzzards but never found her. Sweet little dog, but I had mixed emotions, sad but also a little relieved. She chewed on everything computer cables, electric cords, pillows, chairs ,tables, TV remote controls and bicycles

[the mingo]

You're right - ain't never heard it put the way you did but ... being creative does make the lips quiver -

[the mingo]

man, Jack - it's flat damn flat down there where you are ain't it ? A dog what chews on bicycles? That was a scary thought - my dog barks at snakes & turtles but he has never tried to chew on my bicycles - so you talkin' bout another dog? The last one you had was a bit of a psycho too wern't it? You said it liked chewing on your ankles.

[creativesoul]

i am sorry about the missing dog- i think about all the dogs i have had- chip- chased tires- up our hill- spot =the dalmatian- he was our family dog-
and the bella- the wolf for 12 years-and now it is mister- im watching a cartoon where a woman turns into a bear- i am warm in my snake like bedroom- where it is always 96 degrees in the shade-
i am so ready for sleep- my dog has a crush on coca the chocloate lab-hopefully he will come to bed-

[creativesoul]

guess the door swings both ways- the revolving door of mingo and the lingo been bicycling kyaking chatting and thinking out loud here- it like the open mike of the soul but it is real clean and kind of directed- it is a short visit usually because- that being like fireflies= there is only so much light to go around - and cant really see the fireflies until it gets dark anyway- i was watching them this june in north dakota-
my elder told me it was going to rain- and i ddint believe her- until my tent flooded-sometimes i just have to do what i need to-like cry in a wet tent- but later while watching the stars - i found that had i been in a tent - i would have missed it-if i was not sleeping in the back of the truck- i wouldnt have seen it- so not having a tent- is really ok- or is it just luck-
tired of the warrior life- i dream of a softer gentler life= of laying on cushions large and fluffy- and dialing room service- but my hands have been in the soil- and i have muscles that could arm wrestle any man- and i can chop wood like there is no ---tommorow- = that is a saying i hate- like - trust me-
my friend can throw a hatchett in the bulls eyes at logging shows- and take home money- i like looking at hot blondes with hatchetts=every woman i have ever known has fantasies of the 'hot ninja lesbians dressed in black repeling the bulding to break in and teach that man a lesson-' would it be listed in
'services'? i swear they are out there somewhere making a killing-lol

[creativesoul]

happy hallo s eve- hope you have a costume to wear and a wi ld party or some live music to go see-

[creativesoul]

friendly fried eggs saurated in fats- spinning piano stools and severe pains in my fingers because music forced it sway out- eating fruit all finely chopped in apple juice with berry -yogart- and well- it has to be this way- because there isnt any other way it could be == the wooly hair of the buffalo men- the boy toys swish past and i see india- i see long hallways of golden prophets
and the sound of om= deep inside like an earhtquake or a rumble of the great mother earth yawning and a volacano goes off somewhere- a storm- a turbulant tropical storm when she is hungry for love-then there is that thing with the backpacks and how we could help each other only so much- wanting cookies and ginger tea- the wild ride has only begun- 2 extra cats and a girl with a crazy boy on the phone-

[the mingo]

2 extra cats and a girl with a crazy boy on the phone-

i loved that line - chill & grey here - dog flopped out on the couch - he's the most human of anyone here in the lodge i think - rain & cold kept me bottled up the last three days - my thoughts just go round & round - i liked the dress on the clothesline too - the dress with no one in it soaking up the light -

[creativesoul]

At last..... That song... When you love sometimes smoke gets in your eyes- people die- today I am going to say good bye to a soul that got a lung thing from a sick eagle- the eagle took him home... There will be many people there... And I am there to drive my friend to the service- I met him once- he does what all those medicine people do - they look at me like a puppy and cock their head sideways..and look at me funny- oh I wonder what he'll do today - from the other side- maybe he will giggle?
