Squash Pie



Appreciating the summer months, Barry was craving a long walk to the shore and a leftover chicken plate. The pan was seasoned and he gave me a lesson in this as to how to maintain its true character. This was an expensive pan, although it wasn't thought to be on first glance, but it was something that you should remember as it had spirit that should be maintained. He encouraged the use of the remedy in a panic situation, the remedy being left on the white board as a reminder as well as being an easily accessible set of instructions in a dire situation. "Matt eat the chicken". This would be a saving grace.

The 3

Only 6 more left and then its time for a top up.

Unusual Shortcomings



A calm came over the west when the sun set and the hunters had turned in their pelts in trade for the gold. Supper was near and free loaves of bread had gone completely stale in my eyes. Credulous? Possibly. Ludicrous? Put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't have any money to participate in the stick up. Get on your knees and say your prayers, stranger. This is a stick up.

Primed And Ready

I skipped class and found Eddie near the back entrance. I bummed a smoke off him and we talked about my car and his ex-girfriend. I flicked my ash, burnt my knuckle and then felt self conscious when I realized that I had a poppy seed in my teeth after I just ripped a bare bone from the chicken carcass in the cafeteria. The lights were on at home but nobody was there plus I was pals with Eddie and that meant I could just waltz right into the attendance office and get a note before we went to the Mets game. I hated the Mets, but if it meant I could get out of school early for the afternoon, then I was their biggest fan.



Eddie and I parted ways since he was being kind of a prick anyway and I knew I had film class after lunch. I headed over across the street to the deli to get my second egg sandwich for the day and cracked smile. Rich was there with brand new hi tops on save for the pen he had used on the side of the sole. Laura had a mole. We smoked a bowl.

Let's Play

Im up for it, are you? Get me a ring a ding ding and use the charge card while you're at it. The lady will rollerskate up to the spot where the food goes and then you get a long, dark stare in response to your unusually specific order. The food never arrives but your hunger comes to stay for a bit longer than you had planned.



The bathroom key is nowhere to be found and then some guy walks out before you walk in and lets the door latch behind him.

The Tutbox

The tutbox is where people go to ponder their wildest dreams. The  tutbox makes free cakes at the sound of a simple shout or a scream. In a quandry? Consult to tutbox. Doing laundry? Consult the tutbox.



I've never quite seen a tutbox out of use, making the best of a situation when the situation allows. No quarters, no cards, except for a greeting card now and again for those times when things "just aren't working out the way we had hoped they might."

Let Us Not Lie

But do let us lie down. In the pasture. to graze. verb or a noun< I was bound to rebound and be bound in rope. Free claims of insurance in deference of hope. The project of scope is no secret. Its good and strong enough for a man, but made for a woman of leisure on her yacht escape. Crested white meringue pie is alleviated once again. I sliced into the quarter of the chart and tore the statistics, broke them down into smaller parts and percentages. Sprang aground in the sound, thoughts run aground and ships will shuttle imaginary nations from town to town.

There Was Nothing Left To Say

Exactly 20 minutes before the show ended, I had a fabulous thought about the duration of fall, colors bleeding into colors and a long shadow of free range earth. The sky fell in on me and the next to last chari in the aisle was taken. Rats! (a completely underappreciated expletive and should be brought back into fashion promptly).

Knuckles On The Column

Coffee hour ramblings and trite conversations about the weather begin shortly after you pass by the greeter. They always know whom to give the check to. A table for 8. A tour guide once told me that if care is taken to make a trail of crumbs along the way and the toll is promptly paid to the troll, you will find that pot of gold that doesn't exist at the end of the rainbow.

180,000

















































First blast off then skip ahead to the next part. Marching snare trap bear trap kit. Left right left right and escape hard headed-ness in time. Cut in and then cut out. According to the legend, one must always chant four times their own name in the sand.

On there now

Where there now is because. Grecian sheep and felt tip markers dab the

landscape of storied society. Propriety. Property claims. Lost

property in the lost and found.

Led Robster



University of race horses across the finish line. And you won't find

gas cheaper anywhere else. These are my heroes, mentors, my threshold

guardians around the house.

Take A Trip To The Salad Bar





Its just about all you can eat these days. These men are champions and its no mistake that they are hanging on this wall for a reason. They at all they could eat. And then they named a restaurant after one of them in all of his glory, an off road destination spot to cure all ills.

These United States











































Try and re-enact the grassy knoll scenario, why don't you. It can be done. Get off the highway once in a while.

Pull over for a minute.
