SWord fish in the sky!
Video arcade by the bay
with lots of history /memories
horrific laughter of Old Sal
tormenting kids for 50 years
watching handcranked flip book movie
of marilyn monroe
and XXX wife beating up husband
heads rolling
bells tolling
man hanging
down comes the curtain
after the 25cents quarter clank
mechanical whizz creak little hiccups
rusty heaving--not quite expired
still an entertainment
looking at pictures 3d in a little peephole
still feels great
and smells like rust
sweat of little boys now 60 year old man
their delight still preserved
trying to lift that hammer
or beat the arm wrestler
a satisfying clang of the bell
as the hammer falls
fortune reader says:
I have the sex appeal of an
ice box
and am destined to be a dishwasher
watching a ghost pianist
in the reincarnation of a strip of
paper patterned with holes
and the keys jumping
wood and metal shuddering
from the strain and pleasure
as the glass reflects our
obvious pleasure and satisfaction
that old bar tune on a honky tonk
machines

Later, the silence of the bay
as the sun dissolve into that
inky dinky wrinkly thing
as seagulls do that silly call
and sealions sound like
a crazy person imitating a mute duck
Such happiness
as lights blinker zip zap on the waterface
and the silence dance to the beat of the lights
I breathe exhilarated
heart beating like a six year old
