"Not to bring up something upsetting, but when you leave here today, you may go through a period of unemployment. My suggestion is this: Enjoy the unemployment. Have a second cup of coffee. Go to the park. Read Walt Whitman. Walt Whitman loved being unemployed. I don't believe he ever did a day's work in his life. As you may know, he was a poet. If a lot of time goes by and you continue to be unemployed, you may want to consider announcing to all appropriate parties that you have become a poet."

sunshine don't know me


i guess one could say
she swept me off of my feet
two days of music
and i almost believe, it's something

three days of summer
and a camera full of film;
in cinematic dreams in the sun
she shot the backs of my eyelids

self contained, no, i'm
self sustained, no, it's
not enough for the longhaul

selfish games for a
selfish gain. it's no
wonder i'm hitting a brick wall

count all the blessings
in born again nights,
when i found all i needed
inside of your simple, sweet mind

think you can point my gun
back at me after one season?
with your...pagan thin reasoning
sowing some SALT with the seed

we'll see no fruit
from these wounded rows
before you let down your guard

until then, i shall till the soil,
toil under two suns,
and make the three, my one.

i only want honesty
honestly, on her behalf

(notes for mom)

my thoughts on:

valuing people versus...

depending on people,

attachment,

getting unsatisfactory and insensitive advise...

from an old friend.

last stanza:

i shall work endlessly day and night...

with the strength i can only receive from...

father, son, and holy ghost.

love - cody
