dizzy ease

my throat is ice cold, like a cold beer,

or a cold blanket, or a cold sore,

and its starting to grow hair on the inside.

has that happened to any of you before? you ever

grown long hairs on the inside of your throat?

maybe its because of its temperature or the fact

that i've been praying for long hairs
to grow on the inside of my throat.

or maybe its because i've been in such a great mood.

but either way, i'm not excited to find out how much its going

to cost to pay someone to trim my throat beard.

2012

surely we have at least 100 years to go

before the end is here.

but then i learned

about giant jellyfish sabotaging the coast of japan

global warming or hydro dams are to blame.

refrigerator-sized, translucent, gellatinous beasts dominating the nets of frustrated fishermen

jellyfish transformed into fertilizer, pets, or

human snacks.

and now i think the myans might be on to something.

cubatao

i read today about the brazilian military
reforesting cubatao with machine guns shooting seeds,
a direct contradiction of their original purpose.

this story could be a goldmine for hippies.
they'd recreate the scenario in a photo shoot
and plaster the image on a war protest billboard:

an armament of death spewing life
into the earth and everyone standing around
the weapon smiling, tan and unshaven.

jokes about guns n' roses would be
a hit with everyone involved.
