Training Begins Tomorrow!

J'ai fatigue

these drowsy clouds
thickening on the surface of my eyes
thinned momentarily
quickening me within
and I rose unweighted
just above the sullen world
and let go of myself
suspended

Fun House - The Whole Album

Jimmy Reed - Big Boss Man

Signifiers

This morning, the wet smell
of melting snow, the sounds of chickadees
and that other bird with its two notes
of specialized loneliness

The feel of the sun on my face, patiently
gaining strength; pussy willow buds;
a woman skipping silly outside the courthouse
and a middle aged bearded man in his
work clothes and winter coat
high stepping

Fun Time

Weigh yourself down
to feel real
fill your pockets
up with rocks
 

Baltimore

Waking in a new city
without snow
everything seems strange
and good
