a portrait of wind
the drama in the sky this morning moves east. i love it when
i'm driving down the side
road out to the light and the gulls that roost on the pondnear sheldon take explode like quarks into the clouds

The fiddle leaf fig does not like where I put it. Facing the morning sun its leaves are dry as my skin. I've unfurled the umbrella, I hope the wind doesn't take it away. I've had this tree for 5 years and it just grew too big for the porch. I think I chose the wrong spot or maybe I should have just left its roots bound in the container it was in. A Chinese princess her feet molded to some ideal of beauty. You know the skinny trees with five or six leaves at the top? That's the potted version of this tree. But my tree wanted to sprout in three directions with fiddle leaves so huge you'd want to wish the figs are as luscious.
There's the soft hits of the hose trickling over the blood meal that I poured into holes surrounding the roots hoping this infusion will help this baby take fruit. As long as no hurricanes flash through it's got a chance but spring winds are also very capricious and March often goes out like a lion that ate the lamb.
Easter approaches and you want a rapture.
The mothership is sending you signals.
Science confirms it space weather confirms it.
The sun will come up with three holes
Aimed directly at Earth. Maybe. Science.
I know that the possible is infinite.
It's the probable that I count on.
I waited for the KP to get to 9:00.
I waited to 10 but it never came.
You gave me directions.
I burnt the page and sent you the ashes.
Because we're both still here even though you tell me you volunteered to go last.
I sent you a song about love.
Because it gave me goosebumps
And I needed you to feel that.
Can you call me right now? Well when you can call me. Bring your popcorn.
Hey hello. Yeah I've been doing a little bit of driving.
I stopped in to the smoke shop and bought some of those trippy mushrooms?
And now I've been driving around since this morning and everything so damn beautiful.
So that's the shortest backstory I can give you. Anyway I decided I need coffee so I stop in at the Chick-fil-A. Get my coffee sit down drink it. Then I get up and leave. I may or may not have talked to somebody there. I may or may not have tried to save them from what's coming. But anyway I left. Took my coffee with me.
I'm driving down the road and unbeknownst to me I'm being followed. I've got the music on loud I'm jamming it's a beautiful day I want you to know and then suddenly they're right beside me and so yeah when I pulled over they came up to my window and asked me so hey how's it going? What are you up to today?
I looked them straight in the eye and I said I'm on a mission from God
Yeah I was channeling The blues Brothers I was channeling Robin Williams we had a long yada yada yada talk and finally you know they said well man have a nice day yada yada.
