puzzle reincarnation

Some say that close enough will do.
To me that sounds like a decision
Between friction or misalignment
Altogether.

Some say that fit should be without aperture.
To me that sounds like a decision
Between perfection and constraint
Altogether.

Astray or in array
never or someday
patience.
ambition.
happenstance.
order.

mc-soundtrack malfunction

I've said it once and I'll say it again: the music at McDonald's makes me want to off myself more than the hangover that brought me there in the first place. Is a barely-got-there- 10:29 am-number 11 really worth having to endure The Chipmunks do Glee? Glee is the worst as it is, but reallllly we need to cover them with autotronic rodent garbage voices? What the fuck are people thinking? Alvin does some shitty actor in Glee doing Dionne Warwick? Who's ok'ing this? Who's buying this and playing it? Is this just a ploy to keep your table turnover high, McD's?

Even the crosseyed homeless dude would rather sweat out his choices on Van Buren than rectify his bodyheat in the cool, cool A/C of the golden arches. He's real...he searches for all the Marines he can find downtown and shouts out "HOO-RAH!" Their girlfriends are not from the city and are always real creeped out, but most of the jarheads give him a fistpound and support his revelry. Best one I've seen was yesterday, this lipsticked straight-haired wide-eyed Betty just screamed and ran away...into McDonald's, while her uniformed boyfriend acted like a true gent and even appeased the bum by swapping service allegories and offering him some change. While charming, it was short-lived as his sweetheart darted out the revolving doors of McDonald's screaming longer and higher-pitched than the last time. Guess the Chipmunks didn't do it for her, either.

haiku for the sun

Good to see you, sun
embodying all hope.
but i know the truth...
you might be bright now,
and while my time preceeds yours,
we are both burnouts.
