Dancing

Naked in my room

with dirty dollars;

filthy mind
and government.

The News

Sometimes humans
are like TVs,

if you get
too close,

reception is bad.

it is 9:33 a.m.

and I’m drunk

(thanksgiving)

Jonathan says the following about himself: “After several wet salmon seasons in Alaska while working in a cannery, and hoboing along the Columbia River of Washington, until joining fruit tramps and migrant workers in the red delicious apple orchard, and then driving a John Deere tractor before sunrise on slippery-dewed grass of agrarian reform, the factotum ceased. Now a barnacle-covered hermit crab scurrying from class to sea lettuce in the tide pool of San Francisco State University, by the not-always peaceful Pacific littoral.”
