Eye was fine until the rain came down. The blanket seeped. The CharlaX wept.
The wonder of a dry warm place replaced with cold wet water on my ankle. The
blanket caught the water for it's a comforter with many little triangular pockets
made to simulate a quilt. Eye was trying to have a play a day time dream and
when eye was almost there it came the water dumped inside the thing and
cascaded on to foot. CharlaX almost cried again but long interment in the
camping zone has warned me to be always ready on the go.
Everything eye have belongs to me no thief am eye eye gather all eye need a dry
coat and a shoe on foot these things belong to me the socks so dry on toes.
When eye decide to eat some meat eye twist it up and in it goes the meat is mine
not taken from a car or from the backseat of the bus unless its left for all of us to
have the many people leave a mess sometimes and so the CharlaX is a
scrounge rhymes with clown but the rhythm is so wrong the oversize clothes the
hats made all of wool and so many they seem like a hive upon the hill when rain
comes down the head is dry the hands in gloves the feet so dry in layers of
sockings from the night before the rain eye get my things the old fashioned way
eye work my hands in every trash can in this city trying to pull jewels and
diamonds from the dirty bags of tossed decay. Eye ate some onion grass when
eye was smaller than the now the version of my youth was hungry now and then
eye placed the grass in mouth and eye did chew and the day came when eye
finally saw the grass come up and it was not an onion but a flower all the time
eye had been daintily chewing upon the flowers calling them onion grass its true
no ewe don't laugh its true ewe so very true. Stop the Press. Leadville is turning
into Muddville in John Denver Colorado. This just came in over the wire,'
