why?

writing words here now is wrong
jobs told stories of hard lives and short breaths
as the fumes lift you away
and falling the world seems so real
but not the short things
change as the wind varies with caterpillars

that seem to go on forever and
the sentence never ends
the song never ends
the lyric never ends
the word never ends
the sound never ends
the noise never ends
it all goes on before it
stops

the trees are not green
why do they say it
brown water don't drink and eat
the seafood covered in ice cream and a cigar
the whole thing is just fucked up

why
why
why

don't think just think
eating small birds doesn't make sense
so what's the point of it all
is the end near or far in the pink
gummy bears with green ears just eat it

it won't hurt you
there is nothing to fear
ignore the man behind the curtain
ignore the curtain
without a curtain there can be no man behind it

but don't forget the painting
it must have cost at least fifty cents
maybe even a dollar
why didn't you just buy the lighter
you can't torch a bowl with a dumb painting
and it doesn't even look good

but if we put the apple sticker on it
maybe it will look better
no

faces carved in stone change with the weather
radiant smiles turn to blank stares
it all just fades away into nothing
but it never ends
nothing never ends

Weather

It seems as though your plans
to sit outside all day
have washed away.

The drip and drizzle wouldn't be
so bad but wind and cold
have taken hold.

Weather is a fickle thing.

Rain and snow and sleet and sunny days
that hold you in their fist and squeeze.
Until you scream out.
Too cold! Too hot!
Too dry! Too wet!

We cannot end this strife.
It must be won,
else losing we shall lose our life.

A delicious idea

My dad told me today that I should put together a review of fried chicken joints in town. After thinking about it for a couple of seconds, I realized that this was an excellent idea. Now I have an excuse to eat as much fried chicken as I can. It may take some time. And I can never be sure that I have finished this task. There could always be some little hole-in-the-wall that I don't find. But I will do my best to eat at as many places as I can and figure out some way of judging them so I can find out which is the best. On second thought I might just go eat a bunch of fried chicken and never write anything, so I guess this post has no real purpose. But there is a chance that I will remember to write about them. So I make this statement: there could be reviews of fried chicken in the future, and I will most definitely be eating some fried chicken in the future. That about sums it up.

Right now my favorite is Church's. That could easily change, though. I haven't tried many local places. Most of my experience is with chains. Right now the judging is really between KFC, Popeye's, and Church's. In that order. There are other places but it has been too long for me to remember what they were like. I've had those three recently enough that I feel I can make a reasonable comparison.
