Armed Alien

I went to the range with my friend Jimmy who has a Glock .45 Auto. He's from Ireland where handguns are illegal. I was happy to help him practice his newfound rights here in the land of vitamin D milk and Tupelo Honey.

Last Guest Speaker

Alberto Fernandez, director of public affairs for the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Near East Affairs, came to speak to Tyler Marshall's Mid East Politics class tonight. It is great that he and Marshall's previous subject matter experts have found time to visit an academic class at the Corcoran College of Art. Of Art. Fernandez said one of the biggest problems the United States has when dealing with other countries' cultures is arrogance. (But isn't arrogance such a large part of our culture?)

Thank you Mr Bain and your house mates for inviting everyone in town over. (Notice the policeman in the corner.)

Simulacra

The Traditional Birthday

A strong man for the party
Arm wrestles at least three people at once

After the bar closes
Most everyone has a guitar and a cigarette

KF40 3-06

Went down to the Kite Fest
little kids
big kids
everywhere
kite goats, to the locals

Rope burned through pink palms
guiding textile missiles
smashing to the ground
to the right of me
to the left of me
children and parents running over me

Mounted patrols keep the peace
breachng height with horse
to retrieve kites
from the perimeter trees

Light breaks through the clouds
in windy beams
kids scream
by the bubble machine
do you see that?
the sail of Nylon in the morning

Remember Grace

Maris made some cookies
Andrew made some steak

Because we didn't thank the Lord
(a short and simple grace)

God put his wrath in their new couch
And showed us Mary's face

We Got Served

gathered to discuss the production of a parody
a drunk street dancing crew
freestyle drink dancing
realized it was st. patricks day
and we took our idea to the streets
we got served
(tuck the thumb)
