chipped moon laughin through
clock says 6:30
slack jawed, plaid
wine on tweed

bugles crying brass
rows of corn and blue dragon dirt
sardine tins burning on coal
whiskey water teeth rinse cup
sailboat up on blocks
one crooked line of spray paint gold

mini-prose

Hyper-resonated snow crystals keep on falling down. I can hear the Earl Grey over bubbling on the tea machine. The ear muffs are hanging on the brass hook by the drafty window and outside is a harsh wonder. Goretex bodysuit is there but won't look at me. I am in my three layers of beige warmers and the LPs are stacked against the heavy 1890's footstool. Where are the toadstools? Spores slumbering in the ice. Crystal tears of the ancient world and the sun not melting the branches but just skeptically glinting. Wood is chopped and stacked in a small pile by a rusty, frozen Toyota Camary the color rouge. The only sound that works is the sound of tear stained timber with strings strung across and strummed in the 70's. Dry bread. Stack and load. Moonlit. Doesn't matter. Crispy corners and wild eagles.

regarding shrimp

perhaps someone within 100 miles is cooking shrimp
for certain someone is - at a restaurant
there is such a thing as Red Lobster
it is a place where you can go and have the seafood experience
dip a net into the sea and then whatever you get
you can cook it with butter
and have something from the bar
not a lemonade
have something nicer
something cold
i'm paying for this
take a look at the wine list
how about a cocktail?
do they have something with the word "wharf'" in it?
a shrimp cocktail is not a cocktail
how about a martini with a big fresh cooked shrimp in there?
the oily vodka infusing it's just slightly rubbery meat
hey, just ask and see if they can do that
let's get a big order of the shrimp
i want to stay here until i can barely walk
in a good way
nothing destructive here
just us here having a seafood experience
right off the highway
in the darkness
