A HOBO IS JUST A TRAMP WHO'S TOO PROUD TO BEG

There are kata kata you can

dig like

lemons & there are images I

may taste like holes.

Drop one in the garbage like

a pastry wrapper. Spit

one up on

the sidewalk after pudding. Wrap it

in a blanket and sail

it down the

river. I'll

be your R.S. on a ladder. All unpacific

spindrift and stairstepped

representability. In the lunchroom with

striated

palisades and trilobites. Breathing inter-

mittent epochs and

Carboniferous crinoids: your

basic

carbonaceous what-have-you ... Sessile,

Cambrian, Silurian. It

should be stated that, on the

ground, I'm

nothing like him. I'm

a shark, wet

behind the ears. Happy Sargasso.

trilobites.

COMPLETE SEAFOOD

Complete seafood: Silurian, tropical. I like

that. It's a Cambrian thing. So intermittent.

Palisades? Yep, everything. The spindrift

is carbonaceous. They do this Sessile thing

with the crinoids. And the epochs are

striated with trilobites. It's very unpacific.

We usually go in around noon or

twelve-thirty. Last Friday we stairstepped

yoga and went straight there. The representability is

Carboniferous. You couldn't ask for more.
