The Doppelgang Is All Here

Riding the bus.
Neighbour gets on.
I wave to her.
She looks at me and
says: "Richard. didn't I see
you with your daughter..."
"I don't have a daughter."
I reply. "I'm Martin."
"It must be because I'm
wearing a hat." "I'd take
it off, but I've probably
got hat head."
"Well, it is almost Halloween."
She replies. I laugh.
Her stop comes up.
Just before she gets off she says:
"He's good-looking,too."

You Must Be Nuts

On a walk.
On College, (having
passed University).
Stop next to a retaining
wall on the edge of a
U of T building. A squirrel
comes up and looks right
at me. Let's stop this
culture of entitlement.
Even the damn squirrels
expect a hand out.
Nuts to that.

Money For Nothing And Your Cheques For Fee

Went to a sound rehearsal space
and jammed with my bro and a
friend. Got a blister on my
mouse finger and my keyboarding
finger. Haven't played an acoustic
guitar in eons. Maybe buy one
at Leons. Get good enough to
play for the peons.
Plebes To Meet You.

Room With A Pew

What's your name?
Hugh's your daddy?

A Grave Accent

Walking past Mount
Pleasant Cemetary.
A sign outside says:
"Rest asssured we have
lots of space."
Dead is the new 100.

Soar, Loser

Off the fisticuff.
Just wanted to keep
my hand in blog wise.

Make A Pacifist

Whoever invented the pacifier,
she sure was a genius.
Whoever invented the car
alarm, he sure was an idiot.

Streak And Ye Shall Find

Are you old enough to remember
the cultural phenomenon called
"streaking."? I seem to recall
that it was a mid seventies thing.
In fact, I went streaking one
night with a guy from the neigh-
bourhood. Didn't go far.
Wonder who started
the craze in the first place.
Could be time to bring it back.
Preferably in the summer.
