a metaphor?

"While attempting to arrest Aizenstadt, Officer Darryn Brown sustained an injury to his left thumb."

in saying

you saw him off to the bus and the thing is
i never saw you so happy and the thing is
you saw him off.
i don't wanna hear about
how bill murray hits on all the pretty ladies.
i have nothing to protect.
i don't wanna hear about
bill murray at kaminskys.
i don't wanna hear about i respect you
or about artists or respect. tell me
what happened to the pepsi cola pony.
drink a soda without laughing.
eat a pig and think its funny, please.
if its not funny, then what the fuck is it?
we could all catch ghosts. we could all make fun.
we could all get along and have something better
to say.

ghostbusters

"you now, you've come all this way... would you like to check the refridgerator?"

"yes we all have the same problem...you"

laughing matters

laughing matters: pumpernickel, scotch,
scotch tape,
jam jar, diamonds, kermit
hats,
red cigarette holders, orange
juice, finger skateboards

nice to say/ good for naming things:
hot air
balloons
pippi
longstockings

stay here

stay here
keep

a safe place
and
die
remember

a
wide notebook
long
went to sleep

used up
papers. somes
dreamed nothing--
planes

without luggage
in the days
behind

you
away & limp
as a dead thing

in the shelter of your arms

" I lived a year in a hotel/ 'Cause I failed to read a sign/ For a long time I was miserable/ Then I felt just fine/ And now I feel so fine so often/ I'm like a textbook case/ Just a textbook case of fine" -Paul Simon

scatterplots

i was wearing a teal rosary and now there is this crick
in my neck and i've been thinking
about stigmata. all these things are true
but i'm not trying to say anything. i'd like to fly
to california and not wonder
why. i write out scatterplots & then
i lose the scatterplots. the world at times can seem impossible.
