got to the museum late in the rain behind all the happy yuppie parents with their bratty kids on leashes missed the exhibit so an hour was wasted in the gift shop ogling stuffed chimpanzees and children's books in Spanish and he bought a chocolate cookbook that came with an apron and I bought a pair of dolphin socks and more gemstones for my bookcase altar then we took a trip through time beginning with the Big Bang ending with Disney World or a tour of the Coors brewery I forget which and we stood in line and I was thinking about a planet of fire and dust ruler of Aries god of war how appropriate how wonderful how lucky we are seeing a planet for free on a Wednesday night that could have been mundane then standing out in the mist left by the rain as a gift to us for braving the yammering crowd but then peering into the lens my idiocy was clear stark white and ridiculous like my body all of this for a puny white disc a moon wannabe without the craters is this thing pointing in the right direction? drowning the disappointment in a weak margarita on the rocks with plenty of salt on the rim a bad and very loud rendition of "Tainted Love" a pack of menthol Liggets and later on watching my best friend and favorite robot awkwardly place dollar bills in cheap g-strings while I laughed thinking this shit is retarded and this shit never ends. |
