the world we live in now
is a wrinkled, shrinking balloon
hiding behind the couch.
it was inflated
and tied off days ago.
soon it will be empty except
for a morsel of stale air.
we are all waiting
for the dogs to find the body
and rip its fragile rubber.
we might breathe a little better then.
riots demanding bread
burn themselves through our stomach
and paint sloppy slogans on adjacent organs.
the ink from a pen
trickles out of our mouth
and sneaks down our breast.
miles of forest wait
along the edges of our house,
peering in with
thirsty bandit eyes.
(we have a plan:
if we pull out our fillings
and melt them in a pan on the stove,
we might be able to fashion enough ammunition
to sleep safe again.)
snow blows sideways
and covers the symbols on all
the street signs.
our windows are pure white now.
we have been waiting a long time.
I'm stuck somewhere between balancing my "naivette tendencies" and the "real world". Did Catalina tell you I'll be staying with her near the early middle of March? If you're in the area, I'd like to see Boston (never been) and possibly Vermont (B&J Factory, yes please?)....

do you remember mentioning that tubers had bad spirits? I think i know what you mean. I miss you too, I hope you're warm as much as possible, ( I need some creative support to get to South America, will you meet me in dreamland? )
Hey Georgios!! How have you been buddy? I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. I totally forgot to send this to you, but here's a pretty rad picture of you performing in Brattleboro when we came through in April. You going on tour or anything soon? I'm really hoping our paths cross sometime in the near future!
they are! we bought package bees and queens through a beekeeper a few towns over. i am very excited (and i a little nervous) but i think it will all work out wonderfully.
