    August 2nd, 2024

    Abhourous vessels and the fool speaks in rhymes and doodley-doos
    Just to play another puzzle
    And get sad
    When the moderator floods
    To say – do something else.
    The connection is just fine.
    And I’m the breached whale waiting for another sign to do.
    When the list litters out.
    And suddenly keyser-soze creativity
    Has ushered into task-managing range.
    And I felt a little hiccup-of-happy just to see
    The sun bellow down
    And the raindrops start to flow.
    The grey cat sleeps on windowsill
    And I told her in tunes
    That Leroy the Lizard
    Sat there too
    Because you can listen to the speaker’s vibration.
    Just like my desk, or chair, or laminate floors or bedframe.
    I feel more confident than ever
    And pretty is making me sick for work I’m jealous of
    When I wore pink frames.

    Tired of awards,
    None of my parents hung them up but stowed the plaque-plagues and ribbons away,
    The trophy is always donated for some glass-wall convenience box
    Of someone’s hallowed tomb of
    “I was really good at sports.”
    And I wasn’t that no, not in public school.
    I was the mathlete, chess team, academic derby on local c-spanic tv.
    And they thought I couldn’t read.
    Fucking racists.
    I still carry a backpack and gotta tell you I’m filipino.
    At least the locks are long and twisty and I gotta pile them on my head
    To stay cool in this humidity and heat.
    Turn the nuclear-fan off
    For a little break of space-age-vacuum livin’
    5 miles to Sun on the 31st and fishing pole to grab a piece of the Moon.
    Asian-Motherlanders know; the world pretty small,
    When you climb vertical.
    Touch the stars,
    This moldavite meteorite will make a great vase,
    For a waste
    Of pens I don’t use anymore.
    Because my wrist never recovered from 18 journals in 3 years.

    And I still feel you tuggin’ on +your+ lock of hair that’s mine.
    Your little corner anxiety toy.
    Better than busted beaded balls and my
    Cuckoo-momento-souvenior
    Fits perfect in my pockets on my keys.
    And I instinctively grabbed it when the dryer was out.
    Reliving squandered lifetimes of Laundromat’s Past.
    And suddenly it’s been 3 weeks I’ve craved Sweet + Sour Sam Bo
    And Shrimp w. Lobster Sauce
    And no-one-wants to cater.

    Burgers, not better.
    But perfect, for the fever.
    It’s the end-of-Summer.
