.
I could have stayed in bed,
but I would have missed you noticing
that vein pulsing, aggravated, against
the run of my neck and nose.
Libra, tall like Amazon,
you talk quick like me
P'haps you smart?
I's smart, like a thousand-book-sandwich
trashed on benadryl, and perched in traffic
With no punch or pipe
Fuck, I hate Spring
My face weighs a ton
Fun, you bet
A regular beer garden
On the outskirts of Calabasas
Saw the biggest prairie rattler ever
Bit the dog bad, had to put her down
Gift from the folks
There's a man talking to me,
Estranged...
I sip my gin, and run
Stopping at three state park signs
I read about the coastal ever green oak,
and then, I look up, and there are -
- the oaks, all squatting on the hill
for a picture.
I said out loud,
(To no one really
Just kind of off the cuff)
"Some one's going
To cut them down
Sure as my headache
Indians lived here once
Too...
The Chumash"
I look over to my right
Two lizards are fucking
On the rail of a rickety ol' bridge
Odd, I thought
that's something
you don't see
everyday.

Ooh..."the wonders of nature"...hmm, that seems a bit of an understatement here. Interesting write. The lizard thing cracked me up. Never saw it, though. Hope to someday.
Thanks for the killer entry.

Speaking from experience.. I know just how you feel. I used to have allergies many years ago, went 40 years without them after I made up my mind that I'd had enough.... then I moved to Phoenix, crap, now I have them full blown again and my determination to stop isn't working anymore....but the 4 mg of chlorpheniramine kicks ass.
As for the rest of your poem...I've seen two lizards going at it ...and it IS wierd..... Funny thing, we write about all the wonders of nature, then mind trash it when the ides of spring start to take their toll on our sinus'
Sneeze on... and bless ya with each one
