My friend Jen Kostecki tagged me, saying I now have to post seven things. Any seven things, but I must post them and then (I guess) tag someone else.
I decided on short philosophical poems, Dear Readers. Taken as a whole, they shall express my Life Credo. I have no idea yet what the other six poems will be, but the great Ron Padgett will set it off:
Ladies and Gentlemen In Outer Space
Here is my philosophy:
Everything changes (the word "everything"
has just changed as the
word "change" has: it now
means "no change") so
quickly that it literally surpasses my belief,
charges right past it
like some of the giant
ideas in this area.
I had no beginning and I shall have
no end: the beam of light
stretches out before and behind
and I cook the vegetables
for a few minutes only,
the fewer the better. Butter
and serve. Here is my
philosophy: butter and serve.

Time to shuffle one off to the IN BOX, IN as in-credible. I'm so used to setting the lunar module down on something more thick-skulled than a surface like this. I thought it looked like a cornflake floating in a bowl of milk; ususal only in that what appeared to be a colorfu; beach umbrella and chaise were in the middle of it. Imagine my surprise when taking that first "Giant step for man" I had enter someones brain complete with waves,mental pictures,and not unpleasant gooey stuff all over. My first thought, was premature,yet appropo, Why did he throw a change-up for the first pitch? In my deranged condition I may have even confused it for throwing in the game ball, and just my luck no beer-man in sight.
Your off to a good start,I can hear the Marlbourogh music playing in the background,even as I'm flying through the windshield. I'll bet your next post even mentions Jim Morrison at some point.
