another horseshit day in paradise

i'm on my second cup of coffee

a lonely theme stated by gordon lightfoot
some 40 years ago

the whole song is a prayer depicting a guy caught in a fierce tug of war between his love for a bottle his love for a momentary lover and the love of his family back home

but i'm in a monastery
not lost
tasks ahead of me
a tour
i get to explain the design minds of great architects
this is a good gig
and i dig it

and tonite i will organize irish tunes for the irish wake of a an irish abbot

trudging plodding looking over my shoulder on occasion
looking all around 360 degrees quite often actually
staring into space at night
you better believe it

still swimming in minnesota
i confess
cross my wretched heart and hope to die
we are still swimming in minnesota
in october

when summer finally ends and i have some time
to reflect on all that has been accomplished
in the endless summer project
i will wax wittily about it
but for now
i must go out to enjoy it

it is autumn
but the fierce force of summer
is still apparent in the dazzling sunlight
lower on the arch of it's trajectory
splashing us in the face

conquistadores por el verano perpetuo

el verano perpetuo
Si. los infiernos perpetuos

Yo se pienso, ahora ....
que detesta Jesus la lengua ingles, y todos la lenguas pinches gothicas y semitos, pero el ama griega y latino, y talvez las lenguas romanticas. Feo, pero es verdad, probablamente. Mi espanol es no gran, pero mas or menos correcto

el verano
but of course
i must apologize
my slovenly approach to the language of poetry
spanish

more or less correct
by all means
i blather in espanol
like a drunken slav

adn this blogpost was destined for bewildering search
how it got over here i shall never know
probably blog patrol cyberdudes having fun or something

anyway

don't think twice it's alright

i was just thinking that myself
that this is a rather long post
for de gustibus

a good one nonetheless

vive l'ete
et bienvenue l'autumn
