Why are you going somewhere when you could stay here until the day is gone?

Sommerville, Not Bad

I was lost in Sommerville the other night. Walking around in circles. When I asked a couple on a porch for directions, they invited me to join them for beer and mashed potatoes from their spud bar. I shared my whiskey with them and they called me a poet.

Here are some pictures I took with my phone when I was lost:

Dear Dr. Dearborn-

Duty means you lose latitude like I learn skywatching. What we weave leaves wonder even. Ever vent over violence? Video-bingo? Bring it. Ring it in writing. Tighten the tongue, the younger wonder. Do worry, darling. Harm hath the hot harbor. Boring beings score scabies, scamming babies. Fables fall following fall for all calling allowances concerning waining cable pay-per-view programs. Granted-- progress greased gross products, but grievances butter ballots almost like almonds demand maintenance. Perchance people change angles gleefully. Glances fully glare loose stares. Starving hearts are helping singers bring sous-chefs Cheetos, Fritos, Doritos, Tostinos, Tecate, television and table-placings piercing Totinos Party Pizza. Hearty sleazes have heaved heavily. Help!

Whole Heartedly,

Hannah

Sept 8th List

I picked a bad time and I can't help.

I don't live walking over the bridge anymore now.

Now that life is completely digital the sky is really fucking clear but when it's blue it too blue. Most of the time shit is just overexposed and white.

We live in a place where our neighbors aren't our neighbors.

I'm not crazy for believing in earthquakes.

How long does it take a man to realize that he is his best beast.

Sometimes I joke about having a magic carpet, but i really do wish I had one.

Too many people say “good shit.” Good shit does not exist unless it comes out of my ass.

I live pacing one way over the same foot.

Labor Dub

Tomorrow this chair is filled. I'll savour this final day of Unemployment Summer.

Kitty Car Alarm

Her ceaseless meowing keeps me up throughout the night. Who is in charge? Maybe I should thank her: now I will remember dreams of daydrinking with new friends in my childhood room.
