Attics Of The Rich

 







Attics of The Rich


(a nonsense must read blog posted on
 November 32nd)


Cricket bats at the ready, boys!
We gotta clean out the attics of the rich
And decipher kryptonite particles
Written in the tea leaves of Cypress
Before it is too late.

Go on now, go on!
Ain't no sense being stubborn
Mules got souls, too, I know that
But you turkeys 
Gonna end up on somebody's plate come Thursday.

I got me a cannon 
On the top of that hill
I'm gonna light it up and fire it
At Jupiter one of these hot damn days
You just watch me out of your blind eyes!

Weasels! Weasels! Everywhere!
Just look at 'em! Wearing lil ole heels
And mink coats and mini dresses
Made out of mp3 players
And fine copper wires.

I says to my buddy the other day
I says: Hambone, where you think we goin'?
And he says: I don't know 'bout you, Plumber
But I'm goin' to sleep!
And I says: Well, bring me back a souvenir.

Rose, my baby Rose, (you know the one)
She smile all the time and it make me suspicious
She even smile when she cryin'!
I bought her a turquoise Thunderbird to drive herself crazy in
But she put it in a blender and made one of them smoothies.

Did ya'll see that news story the other day?
'Bout the end of the 5th dimension
And the ramifications of the non-totalitarian be-bop society
And the effects of Popsicle dreams on a left-handed 
Son of a moonshine maker in Rockport, Cali-sumthin-er-nuther?

It gonna be the death of us all
The death of us all, I tells ya!
That and peanut butter left out in the sun
And shooting stars laying all over the ground
For kids to trip over and make airplanes out of.

But back to the attics of the rich
That's my call in life
I know that now. Me and my baby, Rose
Gonna clean out all them attics with cricket bats
And settle down in Whynot, Mississippi and sell gorilla cookies.

Uh huh. Sho 'nuff, we are. You just watch!
Gonna sell us enough gorilla cookies
To get our own attic.

December, To Me








December, To Me



Sad month
Month of loss, not joy
Month of birthdays
And growing older
Month of promises
Never kept, never kept.

The most sorrowful time of the year
For people with no families
Or families that do not love them
Families on t.v.
Making you look at your barren heart
And silent home
Full of emptiness.

Decembers used to be wonderful
When I was a child
And didn’t know that parents lied
About things that children were led to believe
But there was no Santa and no chimney
For him to come down
Even if he did exist.

It was lies, all lies
And especially………
When they told you they loved you
And then proved they didn’t.

I stopped believing when I was nine years old
And have had a hard time believing in any thing
Since that horrible night
When I was punched in the gut with the truth.

I tried so hard to believe
And to pretend that it didn’t matter
That nothing was real
I tried to make up a whole world
Just the way I wanted it to be
Every December for a long long time.

But in the end, I couldn’t hold onto the illusion
I had to let it go
I let it go that December eleven years ago
When I found out that fairytales never come true
Even with pearl white snow on the ground
And a full moon in the sky
December became to me, forever imprinted on my heart,
The month that good things died
Even as it stood as the month of my birth.

I still love snow
I still love babies
I still love laughing
I still love the moon
I still love love
And every now and then
I let myself gaze into magic
And starlight for brief moments at a time
Before I blow it into prisms of shadow
And watch it fall between my fingers.

I am a child that never grew up inside
Because I was born old
But not by choice
I am a child that never had the chance
To taste true love or feel it touch my face
Because it was always hidden behind a mask of lies
And to this day, I don’t know what it feels like
To be truly loved for more than a moment
Because that is all I have ever been allowed to have
Before the rug is pulled out from under me again.

December is the end of everything to me
The end of the year, the end of dreams
The end of hoping that the new year will be different
From the year before
And it never is, it never is
Every December I feel less needed
And less loved than I did the year before.

Which is funny
Because I love life
I love running and playing
And dancing in snow and rain
I love giving and gifting
And watching the eyes of others light up
When I show them my love
And my thoughtful gift.

And then they are gone
And I wish that I had somebody
That loved me the way I love them
That I had a friend
Exactly like me
That cared for me the way I care for them.

But December comes
And all those dreams go out the window
With the promised snow
That almost never comes anymore
To cover up the sad brown fields of my life
Instead, it comes in with hope
And goes out with hopelessness.

I love friends
I love family
I love sharing myself with others
And helping the helpless and homeless
I love the idea and the ideal and the myth
Of a world with peace on Earth and goodwill to men
But I do not love December
And now you know why.
