Today's poem:

San Francisco
- by Richard Brautigan

This poem was found written on a paper bag by Richard Brautigan in a laundromat in San Francisco. The author is unknown.

By accident, you put
Your money in my
Machine (#4)
By accident, I put
My money in another
Machine (#6)
On purpose, I put
Your clothes in the
Empty machine full
Of water and no
Clothes

It was lonely.

Billy's Goddam Band

Out in the alley smoking a
Joint before the Xyna Gallery gig
A Ryder truck pulls up w/more gear than
Fits in the storefront we’re playing
And out steps Billy Fucking Corgan
And his goddam band. Guess we
Have an opener! Did they miss the
Turn off to the Stadium?! Two
Guitar hockey rink rock which I like
When I’m not annoyed, aloofness like
They were goddam Smashing Pumpkins.

mowing is the worst
grass is pointless to have here
