The Locals and their Salt

The locals home cooking
is too salty
I can't take one more bite

and why does everthing have fish
this looks like french fries
it's actually thinly sliced sea urchin!

there's a tower up over there
50 locals are hanging upside down from
strings pegged to the top
the tower spins
they are flying upside down

I would do it but I'm too salty now

salty skin like a stallion in klingon underoos five light yrs away from the spore cake party, unltd seedlings vs. the walrus underbubble forming between your smurf-nubs? coolie high homily & nite-cap loans us dimes when it's shining outside but I'm underlegged w/ hands of hemp -- rotten fingerstrings w/ red threads, unglued mock-chalk & rio grande mud, son. 1  out of 1 found this valuable.

rotten fingerstrings with sexy red threads,
muck clumped on her chin again
nite-cap all down her chest

light years from a time called now
the walrus, haroun, the unlimited seedlings
start eating shadows during the worst
light famine of recorded time

In the Danube, in the oldest place
in the known world
a bowl of salt-water soup, clear broth
was place in front of me
and in the center of the bowl
a fish tail floated,
an inch of fish still attached,
mostly bones.
I have rarely been so happy
or so salty sweet.

I am what I eat.
Now, I am a fish tail floating
in pure, transparent, pristine, glowing
salt.

Every day I ordered fish tail soup and sat staring at the fish. It lay on its side. One eye peering up. At me? The ceiling? Did it see the gods like flashes of sparks and lightning? I stared at the fish in dead stare. There was a feeling -- a freedom, like part of me was gone. Like a pressure had been lifted. Like having impacted wisdom teeth extracted. Yet there was a tingling. Like salt in a wound. Then I was struck by something -- a thought, a revelation? -- no, by a spoon and chopsticks. Do you find this valuable?
