First Day of School

Chewing on glass
While throwing tomatoes
At a drive-through church
Scuba diving
In a cypress tree

Kicking thunder in the gutter
Ballon popping in a vacuum cleaner
Screaming lightning babies
and
Brontosaurus table tennis
Tongue book marks
The blood pressure
Off the shopping carts

Swimming sideways through wet cement
Cold hot ice pack
Bagel beagles bite lobster faces

Caressing cobblestones

Shards of glass
Stuck in shark gills
Chewing on my own teeth
Legal brainwaves
Gulping down gasoline
Licking up the
puddle of fire
dripping from my day dreams
Steam cracks the candle-wax
Nightlight screaming fish
Electric jellysandwich
Wrapping paper people
with kuala bear intestines
And presenting princess pancreas
with an anaconda heart

Crocodiles

Cold hands
Grip gallons of clams
Traveling bands
And see saw plans
You stand in a burning hospital
Naked and nurtured
With cultured vultures.
I prefer if you wouldn’t object
Inspecting intestinal perpetual pleasures
I gather opinions like onion strings.
I will knot if you ever cut loose.
Cut nooses.
Cut geese necks and red spruces.
Induced with another demise.
Rising down
With a clown
So torn to the bone.
Alone
Standing
On a cell phone.
Stones are tone deaf.
Unstressed with a cleft chin.
Spinning sidewalks talk to tongues tied
To a spy’s eye.
Relying on a relapse
The clams collapse
On a spatula’s cracked back.
Cold hands
Fade to black.

Smoke Rings

Choking on black tar
Coughing up smoke rings

Something
Brings me
Back to you

Through valleys of tires
On fire
Inspired

I climb over white clouds
Overflowing with glowing
Matchsticks

You lick my chin
As I begin
To light
These emerald embers
Back to life

Ablazed for days
Astrayed with glazed
Eyes aligned
With my last breath

My chest explodes
And unloads
1000 perfect circles
For you

Dodging Water Droplets

Its raining HARD in Buenos Aires. The sky is a grey haze and the ground a soggy cement. I hope my family will be able to fly out safely, if they get out at all. If not, Ill take em in. It has been a delightful treat having them here. I am incredibly lucky to have the family I have. I am very glad they came down and tasted the Argentine vibes.

Great company and lots of perks, like the hotel I am currently writing from and a fantastic last lunch - the seafood grill platter at Ferdo was gigantic and delicious. My dad and I went to work...

Packing up now. We will split ways soon, but not for too long.

Thank you ma, pa and Lay-a.

Love
Dave


...I just finished reading Stieg Larsson's "The Girl That Played With Fire" .... Wow

The 3000 Calorie Burger

I learned how to drive a stick-shift today. I feel like a man. Well, almost. While trying to make a U-turn, the car stalled twice - in the middle of the road - and I was kicked out of the car. All our hearts were racing and I gotta say, thats love. I give my mom and sister kudos for staying in the car while I drove...even though they had no choice.

This car was no ordinary car, it was a silver four door Chevy with a moderately awesome size trunk and funky seatbelts. We took Chevy to Villa Something where we left for a huge hike: which included lots of trees, good smells, big rocks, celestial views and mosquito repelant. I give my dad props for goin all the way up the mountain. He had knee replacement surgery 3 months ago. What a beast.

In other news, I finally found a hat! It has been many a long time since I began searching for this ONE hat. And there is sat, beneath all those other hats. But this hat, with it smooth wool skin, its lushious green aura, and water repelent and "crushable" powers shine above all other hats in hatland.

Hatland is my 5 second old nickname for Bariloche. The town of Bariloche is loaded with chocolate stores and 3000 calorie burgers topped with: burger, ham, fried egg, red pepper, lettuce, mayonaise, ketchup, cheese, onion rings, and fried on the side. With a Quilmes Stout on the side, I was "THIS!" close from a heart attack.

I think Ive gained a lot of weight since leaving LA and the month of January. Its hard to slow down when the food keeps coming. Hey, how can I say stop?

In belated news, we went on a chairlift/great glass elevator ride up a gigantic mountain. My mom was scared shitless, but I think my stick-shift skills did worse.

Anyways. It is time to skidaddle. I wish you love and happiness. ("Love and happiness...(Al Green, baby))!"

PS: D-A-Go! is going on a mega galaxy tour this spring. He just needs to clear the dolphins shot out of a canon section of his uberbighumungoexplosive breakout tour before he can get underway. Look out!
