on trial in my dreams

I smoke this bong for my lady...
Though the odds are she won't know.
That with this hit the world is free...
Like it was a long time ago.

I can see her,...just like a clear day...
Beauty as it really should be.
Wonder if there'll ever come a time...
In which she's ready for me.

I dreamed I was awake...
And stumbling around in a dream.
And that today was game day...
And there only was one team.

I'M ON TRIAL IN MY DREAMS
EVERYBODY'S GOT A BONE THEY WANNA PICK WITH ME
I JUST HOPE IT'S A FRIENDLY BONE
GODDESS HAVE MERCY

I can feel the breeze,...through this dry heat...
A quiet peace cools my veins.
Creeping up on the caravan up ahead...
Preparing to change lanes.

Sliding into home,...I close my eyes...
I start to slide.
Now I must be dreaming...
Because I'm on the other side.

Wow, it's not much different....

Than it was over there.

I can't believe I wanted to be. here so bad...

Would it matter if I even cared?

I'M ON TRIAL IN MY DREAMS
EVERYBODY'S GOT A BONE THEY WANNA PICK WITH ME
I JUST HOPE IT'S A FRIENDLY BONE
GODDESS HAVE MERCY


Ah, but today....is where we're at in time...
...And everything is fine.
Feeling the sun cooling us off...
...Feeling the moonshine.

There she was,...back in my head...
Where I left her ever since I met her.
So happy she's on my mind...
My thoughts couldn't be better.

Making love to my addictions...

Setting myself free.

Making myself likable...

So she'll want to be with me.

Remembering how I dreamed it...
Memories of the future in my head.
Someone told me life is depression.
If that's the case,...then I guess I'm dead.


I'M ON TRIAL IN MY DREAMS
EVERYBODY'S GOT A BONE THEY WANNA PICK WITH ME
I JUST HOPE IT'S A FRIENDLY BONE
GODDESS HAVE MERCY...

Fair Warning

I'm sitting in a chair at the auction somewhere.
I'm not exactly sure why I'm here,
...but I think I know.

I'm sort of interested in learning about what things are worth,
...sort of.
I am becoming fascinated by what people are throwing away daily.

As my friend, Michael, said,..."There are a thousand reasons why people throw things away, and that 'they're broken or are bad' are only a couple of the reasons."

It's amazing what value certain things have in certain people's lives based on what's going on in their present reality at any given time.



"Fair warning to you,"
...I hear the auctioneer call out.

"Ten dollars bid here, now 12 and a half,
...I sold them, sold them,...at ten dollars."

I actually probably should have brought a Walkman.

I don't actually feel like buying today, for the exception of a 6-pack of Moosehead.
For my head. Oh yeah.

I am actually in a good mood today.
And, that's probably 'cause I'm fucked up,
and it's only 9:15 a.m....in the morning.

...... FAIR WARNING TO YOU ......

Yeah, I'm still at the auction.

Still, I've been thinking as to how to properly understand timing.

As I sit in this
green chair.

As I'm writing, I hope the Spirit realizes that I am saying I'm ready to transcend a few levels now as I write.

D.J. just informed me he just bought a 4 X 4 for five.
So I think I know what he means.

Well, today could have been chaotic, but it appears it wasn't.
Not really.

So, the restaurant opens at 7:30 a.m.,...and there's no cook.

So, there's customers right when they open.

So.

The students are back,
...and all those girls.

I was wrong.
I didn't know what D.J. meant.

It's a toy blue electric toy 4-wheel drive off-road...did I mention toy...vehicle.
It's got a sticker on it that reads, "High Rider."

D.J. just came riding it down the aisle shooting a toy gun he just bought...shooting and cheering.

It was pretty funny.

I guess it needs a battery.
Maybe it can be charged.

I think I'm hungry, and I have to write down the quotes from yesterday,
and put up new ones,...actually.

Sometimes I know I'm happy.

Saw a good movie last night.
With Mr. Jay and Marilyn.
About computer hacking.

They tapped into Richard Nixon's account...bank account or something,
and had him...or actually his account...donate and transfer significant funds to the Coalition to Legalize Marijuana.
This happened right as the movie started; and I got a kick out of it.
Boy, do I have to take a piss.

Your money or your life. I mean, your money or your wife.

Surrender Dorothy.
