Window
Under the Overpass,
On the Offramp
Across the Interstate I drive…
Over the dashboard, Through the window

(I’m sure this had to be written in close proximity to a Trout Fishing in America show)

Sunrise
Driving over the fringe of Ponchatrain
past the cypress and the pines
I head into the false sunrise
of the city of New Orleans

Sleep of a Victim

I am sleeping the sleep of a victim
Tossing and turning and full of dreams
I don’t know what happened between us last night
But now I can’t escape the thoughts of you

(10 Dec 1991)

Peppers
Thoughts pass like ships in the night
Across the lonely ocean of my mind
Idea laden cargo vessels
Full of premonitions and presumptions

passing through BFE on the way home from Chili Peppers N.O. concert, 1991
(also significant, I believe this show was my only successful attempt at crowd surfing + I bought a book of limericks for Dad’s Christmas present in Baton Rouge)

Sons
Sons everyone of us
We all resent our fathers
So even as we love them
Strive to be just like them
We promise not to do the things they’ve done

Thanksgiving, 1991
