"They will peck out your eyes," the Doctor said aloud, thinking of her, and Lorenzo Daza turned around to ask him what he had said.
-Gabriel Garcia Marquez

floods on the east tuna creek
bank
the water marks up to the ceiling on the
first floor
and thank god for whiskey, and thank god
for the rolling stones
and he comes in talking
about architecture
some three letter word
that would take out the stains
from the flood
when the water came up to the top
of the stairs of the
first floor.
cobwebbed cover and heading to dinner
hyped up from twobyfours and
talk of angles
and get paid to talk of angles?
it was like in the college days
but i liked it more then.
and i woke up
and i was covered in bruises
on my shoulder.
