miscl notions summer 2011

got me to thinking about gang warfare
the crips and the bloods
mexican mafia
people would talk about that stuff like it was real up here even though this was only l.a. stuff, right?

maybe it wasn't. people would try to convince you of things they knew or associations that were scary but i have to wonder how much of it was real and how much was show. everyone needs some sort of armor. after all it is a war zone there. maybe sometimes just a spiritual war zone, but still, there is a war being fought there 24/7.
there is a street hierarchy and most of it is not even apparent. what you see on the street is just one level of it. people would let you in sometimes, why i don't know. probably because i was harmless, and i don't know...sometimes people genuinely liked me...trina mcqueen, i think about trina all the time. maybe not every day. but all the time. trina, i love her spirit. i am/was powerfully attracted to her and she flaunted it in a way, in some way she was attracted to me too. she was poison to me for that but i couldn't help it, i loved her. and i wanted her. i still love her and i still want her. we had this thing. and tempting. taking a shower "oh you never saw me naked before did you? hell no i hadn't. body language on the bed. lying back clothed, hands drifitng over to her crotch or under her shirt. sidling up to me chair to chair, i rubbed her thighs. god i wanted to fuck her. sex aside i wanted to save her to. i still want to. i dream of walking the tl looking for her, want to tell her i love you trina, i want to help you. i hope she is still alive, free, sober. i hope all of those things.

Faint lightning I am calling you closer to me
Give me the business, channel some life into this tired body
Let the keys type away and tell me the story as they wish to

I see the same brown rabbit each evening, sitting low in the grass
He watches me do the hard thing every second day, I have it so lucky right now
Ride incongito with aviator sunglasses, try not to space out and run anyone over on this mountain bike

I traverse the corridor of trees and pass tortises under the bridge
Ponder why there is this much driftwood on the edge of a man-made lake. And wonder why there are water snakes for the same reason. I saw one when I went swimming in austin, head up out of the water like loch ness. They are deadly, of course and then I imagined that everything I stepped on after that in this swimming hole was a water-snake.

Things go bump in the night
Racoons outside or maybe under the house. Took me the longest time to figure this out.
They are bumblers, makes me feel momentarily superior. They are however, much more fearsome than I could ever be.

Let the light flood the room, sleeper. Pull thy curtains back. Stop wasting time, it is failing you. Your life is dimming moment by moment. Think of what you are trying to accomplish in the moment. Too much waste. It’s a sin almost as bad as murder. You rob your own life mindlessly. At least on dope you are aware you are setting your notebooks and diaries on fire. Who needs life then at that moment. Bigger things than life right then yes.

Oh yes.

Death.

Ah fuck. Some guy stole a motorbike and crashed it into the back of my parked car. Damage is not major. Been a frustrating day. GPS could not find Sue’s hotel in Grapevine and I got lost trying to find it on my own. A bad morning. Never got to eat breakfast because she needed me there ASAP. Never told me she had an appointment to make somewhere til we got to the house. Her calling me relentlessly didn’t help matters, I got really stressed out and eventually wasn’t nice on the phone. Finally found the place. I still have no idea what her schedule is. She gets wound up and self-focused to exclusion of all else like Judy. I had other plans today no idea I was supposed to pick her up and bring her here briefly. So she has her car now and I should have parked mine in the driveway – it would not have been hit. But I was being polite by leaving her the driveway in case she came back (because I don’t know what the hell she is doing). Sometimes it seems like trying to do the right thing will come back and bite you on the ass.
