haikus and pictures, July 1-6

Monument, Colorado

Cop ahead, go slow
the road to the trailer park
rife with alfalfa

Denver

Yesterday's okays
from paper politicians
who have lost their hands

Horseshoe Tavern, Hays, KS

cycle, leather, gun
and my dog in the basket
what more could I want?

Vine Street, Hays

Al's Chickenette
where a salad consists of
iceberg and crackers

Colorado Springs

giraffe in brown pants
why's he wear red suspenders?
to keep his pants up

Circle 8 Motel

the soda motto
that will be carved on my grave
"drink Coke, play again"

Cripple Creek valley

Driving my white bus
over the mountains and through
the schoolgrounds of sludge

Cripple Creek heights

strip-mined mountainsides
like a Tower of Babble
that's built in reverse

the old mine

lightbeams piercing through
the holes in my blacksmith's shack
now it's not so black

Golden Gate Canyon State Park

1828
The home of Anders Tallman
forgotten valley

music business

G.B.'s record store
Jacob Baum bought music here
when he was a child

Joplin, France

giant Jennybros
girlzilla in a striped dress
in la tour eiffel

indeed...one day we will (master the world, or be the masters... whatever)
I appreciate your artwork, young man and that of your photographer.
Hope to hear and see more of you, soon.

Oddly enough, Giraffe in Brown Pants is the title of my soon-to-be-completed erotic biography of actor Jeff Goldblum. Even more odd, the original title was The Holes in My Blacksmith's Shack.
