feather mask on the bookshelf

each day i'm here the mess
grows thicker. unpacking
just adds to it. i've got
lingerie strewn across
my floor which hasn't been
vacuumed in a couple weeks.
well, since i moved in.

today, this morning
i am going to be late
for work. i had to dry
son's gym uniform
whcih would have been easy
but it was sitting in
water, an entire machine full
which i forgot to spin out
last nite which put me in a spin
and it took 10 minutes fro the cycle
to finish so then i had to look
at that 10 minutes and know i'd
never make it to work in time
to call him to wake him up to catch
the bus so if i went i'd just have
to turn around and come back
to take him to school anyway.
plus it was raining already.
i hope there isn't a cane out there
but i heard there might be.
anyway, his science notebook needs
signing and he forgot it so maybe this way
he can get it from the locker and etc.

all this stupid signing
what the fuck are teacher thinking
plus this one teacher told him
she took conduct points
for writing on skin!
scuze me

man i know i didn't want him going
to the boom boom skool but this
is like the babysitter skool.
how can a kid be responsible for self
if the parent is always
ALWAYS checkin up on his work.
i don't agree with it.
you work on your grade, you earn it
THEN i as mom reward or punish.
i dunno, micromanagers
never let people grow. i mean look
at topiary.

so i got a few spare, thot i'd dare to check
out my psyche. i hope this small tear we got
goin won't last. plagairism is one thing
but riffin is quite another. you hurt me
i hurt you but it wasn't a huge entity
so let's just forget the whole thing, k?
i mean, forget about it, but remember it.
your latest song is awesome.
i wish i thought in circles like that
but it wouldn't be the same
and why do i need ot write songs?

hmmmm
the irs wants a my signature
or i won't be a ble to efile anymore.

almost delinquent on the teco again.
i wonder what else i forgot to pay.
that bass is sposed to be shipping
today. i wonder where i'll pick it up
and how the shipping place will contact me.
i still am having thankyous
and blessyous for the price on it.
i hope it will last. it's a beautiful instrument.
looks like the one son played last year.
the one we cracked, all of us them
by wresting, me by trying to reseat the bridge
without loosening the strings. god
that was a dumb move. if he gives up the bass
i'll donate this one to pierce.
what a boom boom skool.
i am ashamed of what we let pass off
in this system.

sound judgement
and a microcaustic caught speiling
in he drafty sycamore.
why i don't have a million idents
is because ummm, that's way too much
to keep up with.

thomas wolfe.
like calvin, i enjoy verbing nouns.
