pretty funy, the 'return'. glad the state prison system was sucessful with their arthmatic basics program. you probably use your new skills to count empty cans for the recycling center. you know we respect you for giving the environment a moment of your time.

yeah, it's pretty interesting. in fact it's kind of like being 18 again: looking at the future in a new way and wondering what i can do about it. that's not a pleasant thing, really, cause there is no future -- i've lived long enough to see that we're always here and now -- and pretending to have control is boring. i liked last year, when i was feeling very much that i had to feel and live being under 62 -- but, what's in a number? -- well, these things shape and control our social reality. i actually think i'm going to be isolating myself now, without really wanting to, just so i can see who everyone else is. it's interesting.

thanks for your greeting!

mike

any regrets at this point in your life, joey?

only when i'm looking at things -- everything reminds me of some failure in my life these days. that's why we go around looking inside flowers and stuff -- looking for what we haven't seen before. so many lives in our one life -- the creative life. it seems to have created me out of life itself. not that i mind, cause i wasn't very good at living like everyone else anyway. wanna see my new poem?? isn't what people really want. need either a better people or another language... yes, well that's what poetry seems to be for me. another language over the same world? klaatu baraata niktu.

that's part of not trying to be in control, else you'd try to contrive the whole thing which would be and always is a vain attempt. there was a time -- for many years -- when i never cared for my birthday and birthdays in general but i give it a look when that day comes to see if there's something new and better...if i missed out on something and, that is to say, if i see and have learned any better.

life can be stressful and really boring and, at the end of that realization and feeling, i end up looking back at myself and see so much flaw and start fixing me again. a vicious cycle and keeps me going like in the last 7 months or so.

there could've been a new poem by you on June 24th.
there's always a new pollen for a bee to bother with from even the most wilted flower. holding back?
