poetry break - what does it mean?

It's like a plan
greedily suckling the limpid remains
the inverted fir-cone sleep machine
which, on awakening from the past
as in osmosis
or Fellini
remembering a thought well buried,
stinks worse than subtle death
and does blend twist swap
and crease the careful bends
and broken pieces.
So
Please do not squeeze
the blind eye
cold, cheery eye
fashioned from a shoestring
drawn into a cautious bunch
and then stamped,
upright,
in slipshod condescendence ->
because
a bird in hand
or even a rat
is better than any number of bushes.

Doing one cool thing a day

I have decided to do one cool thing a day this summer. It doesn't have to be much, maybe just reading a sweet book, but ideally every day I can point at something and go "That is the sweet thing I did today... bitch."

The cool thing I did yesterday:

Today I think I am going to animate a brain eating a kitten.

Summer is great.

Sea Creature in a Blazer

Offices are surprisingly quiet. My tentacles squelching against the keys interspersed with sparse, business-y negotiation are the only rare sounds here. I am fairly thirsty. Odd for a sea-dweller. (What is the underwater equivalent of the water cooler? I wonder.) It's rather like a library in here.

Oh no, I am spending the summer in a surrogate Reg.

Let me just say that given masochistic/sadistic tendencies of both this school and the Chicago god of inclement weather, WETHOR, perhaps no ceremony could have better befit the convocation ceremony.

Drunk and bedraggled, mascara streaming down their faces, poncho-garbed and hobo-looking with caps deflating, the University of Chicago class of 2009 sat in the rain for four hours to receive their well-earned degrees. Next year, maybe they will make the fourth years jumps through fiery hoops and juggle knives to get their degrees.

The future is now

A big "Hi" to all you cephalopod adventurers out there, women, children, squids - I'd like to discuss an important Topic today.
This Topic is a secret that I cannot disclose at the current time.
I will, however, mention that I am going to Pittsburgh tomorrow morning, and that in Pittsburgh they all talk about the Topic all the time, including the time that has not yet happened, and the time that already did happen.
Can you guess what it is?

I have a dream

I dream of open aggression without any passivity at all.
I dream of spit and fart.
I sail upon the unspent charge of revelry, cavalry.

In a tick, like a blooming time-rose, a spindly swish will wipe away polite. How can I be so sure, you ask?
I guess it's just a dream.

the plan

Welcome to a new era, my fellow sea creature, nautiluses and catfish alike. In our travels and travails, family and friends far away are still a must, and contact must be kept. Let us share in our revelries so that we may dwell in each others dreams.
