This Is About.

It's a digital age, man. So to you we present our virtual talk show of Nonsense: The Silly. The Beautiful. The True. In our own words or those quoted by others. With our own art or that created by others. We will laugh. We will smile. We will entertain you all the while. So grab a drink, come in and let's chat. We'd like to meet you, your mama, and your hot cousin Fred.

Springter

can we just be very clear about something.
crystal clear. pepsi clear. beverly cleary.
WE ARE CONFUSED.
you know why, don't you.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW
whether it's mitten weather.
leather boot weather.
sunny with gusts up to 2000 mph.
or breezy with a side of tornadoes.

everyday lately, we go out with our cheetah
fur mittens on (FAKE) and our triple-lined
waterproof weatherproof 'skimo coat
and we come back just glistening and ready
to jump in the lake! where is the how-to
people, where is it?? or of course the 
opposite happens. we go out sans coat
when we spot the sun and lo and becold
we came back with icicles for teeth
and snow cones for boobs.  and sometimes
we wanna lay down and retire by the fire 
but we don't have a fire. just candles.

WE ARE NOT FINISHED.
because let us tell you something else 
we are confused about.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A JOB.
but not just any job.
ONE THAT DOESN'T SUCK.
and furthermore
ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A BOSS
OR REQUIRE TIMELINESS
OR MAKE US FILE OR COPY THINGS.
and it's hard to find but another
thing we find is hard is find, we 
just can't
won't
refuse
to work 
in a building
that is ugly
or gray on the interior
or without windows
and it presents a problem that buildings
such as the one below literally prevent
us from ever considering a job
that may be magic flowers and pineapple
cakes and peace signs, the whole bit.
what to do! jump ship, join the navy?
teach spanglish? 
invent?
ugh!
