reading = people watching.

The sign on the horse's blinder says...."stay back I bite." I do not believe this horse bites. I think the owner would prefer drunk "pub-crawl" attendees not commune with Sheila (or whatever the horses name is.)

Either way I stood there, this past Saturday (in what felt like spring) and photographed the horse.
I was a bit tired from roaming the aquarium, that when I noticed a drunk broseph stumble over to my subject....

I didn't warn him about the sign on Sheila. I think part of me wanted to see if the written warning was truthful. Then I heard myself think that, and said (to myself) did you kinda want to see Sheila bite Logan (or whatever his name is)?
I love people watching, and reading especially good narrative poetry brings me closer to a humanity that I'm often distanced from.
On the trip home, I didn't have anyone sitting in front of me to creepily watch. That's where having a collection of kick-ass poetry comes in. The good stuff is better than hoping a horse bites a stranger.



Come in and check out our selections of new poetry. There's some filthy-brilliant-sick-funny stuff here. There's tons of staff recommendations to help guide you to the perfect collection...just in time for poetry month! (Or did I miss that?) Either way...It's more entertaining, and makes you look less crazy than say....taking photos of empty seats.

"excuse me sir?"

"Do you have any Captain Underpants books here?"

oh yeah, sure.

"Oh, PHEEEW!!"



So, just now, there was that.
And then earlier this week, my son:

"Dad, do you want me to tell you a story?"

of course.

"There was an elephant tiger, with stripes, and then he turned into a chair lamp, and he fell down the table, and thpt hoyba pupu he BONK!"

jackson, that was awesome.

"Dad, do you want me to tell you another story?"

of course!


And in between, Kendrick Perkins got traded, Qaddafi showed his true colors, Christchurch shook, and I took the kids out to stomp in giant, shivering puddles.
Get in touch with me if you can find anything that holds this post together.
