There was a bug in the bean and ham soup on a hot autumn night
The restaurant was doldrums with Haitian spice
A man was talking to himself at a table in the corner
Jamming his fingers into invisible holes
They called him Orifice James because he was a sexual predator and crazy
What else is new on the moon?
The moon wasn’t very colorful
Just a lot of somber grays and whitish ash and the silver glints coming from the monoliths
Holidays in Eden plays on the hi-fi in some Chicagoland apartment
Brick-ish, square, solid windows, plants on glass tables
It’s wild to be able to fly
Over the ramshackle forest leaning to the left
A rainbow-coated waterfall falls in Iceland
Ruby tears from a swordfight run down a porcelain doll face
A railroad crossing in blue fog
A portal to a new, sustainable life
