Recital
My serious limerick, a particularly painful bit
about being causally discarded, is lost to the ether. Ah well, I
can tell you it was a rare work of wordcraftsmanship, but I could say anything
now that it's gone, can't I?
Here are those haiku that I came up with chatting
with facter
the other night, cleaned up of its extra syllables for the public, of course.
on phone installation, ignorant of voltage
zapping electrons
flow hard fast incessantly
yet too slow for me
on sorrow
joy removed is flat
flat is a line, unyielding
i want my joy back
on instant connection
two water droplets
slide down the glass and then join
bead up, flow away
on a salesman i was really angry at
asinine bastard
salesmen make me want to puke
gesticulating
still on the salesman
his hair is too slick
combed in rows, shellaqued down hard
why have a helmet?
on my impromptu mic stand
monster holds my mic
his grimace unwavering
its a damn hard job
on desperation
out of cream soda
the strawberry lime is low
another truck? when?
on footgear
oh my boots are brown
strings go twice around you know
but they squeak, annoying
on wall decoration
picture old modem
nine hundred baud, how modern!
gathers dust, above
on curly sue
how her smile caught me
and her laugh held me captive
but she's straight, married :)
on facter's drawing ability
miss my robot arm
it was so complete, charming
it washed right away :(
on a story from zach
told me of a guy
green marker, he stained himself
will you like me now?
on a minor breast accident
it was pain, at least
my ring got caught, hurt a lot
wear undershirts, spud
on parting with fac
a tear didn't fall
it hid beneath dark glasses
he tried to be strong
I should have pictures of the house, among other things,
tomorrow. El Prez is bringing software from home so I can jack in
his camera at work rather than wait for him to find time at 2 am.

If you are sick of hearing about soda and the soda
business, I suggest you ignore the sidebar.
New load came in today, while I was at the doctor's,
having my sore throat looked at. El Prez offloaded, and didn't do
too bad a job. His organization will make everything better.
Every one of these bottles is marked kosher. This
is a very good thing; in this area, it can be vital. We had some
old stock on hand that predated certification.
