To The Lady Who Stole The Parking Spot That I Was CLEARLY Waiting For At Costco

Fuck you.

Seriously. Are you stupid? Do you not understand the rules and etiquette of a crowded Costco parking lot? You are insane. Or you better be insane. There better be something wrong with you: mentally or physically or neurologically or something. This is bull shit.

Do you know how long I have been driving around this parking lot? 10 minutes at least. Who knew that Costco would be so crowded on a Thursday at noon? I didn’t. Yes, I know Costco has $1.50 hot dogs and those berry smoothies for really cheap, but still. I don’t know who I’m more mad at: Costco for not having a bigger parking lot; or you for being so incredibly stupid.

On second thought – It’s you.

Are you unable to see the distinct flashing of hazard lights? I had them on, and they were meant to be a signal that said, “I’m waiting for this fucking parking spot.” Do blinking lights not register in your pupils? You know, maybe they don’t, because you’re so damn old.

Yes, I went there. Agism is not beneath me. It’s a relevant accusation in this situation. This time you’re stealing my fucking spot at Costco, but next time you might be plowing right IN to Costco, hell bent on getting a year’s supply of metamucil and Old lady vitamins, uncaring of the countless pedestrians and Costco workers being crushed beneath your boat car. Get your grandson to do your shopping for the sake of this town. That is, if you haven’t already severed that grandparental bond with your lack of presents, your constant say agains, and your oppressive old lady farts (don’t act like you can’t hear them).

Alright, wow, I lost my train of thought here. What was I yelling at you for? I’m kind of out of breath because I had to park a half a mile away just to get my big bag of peanuts, my soaps, and some fucking samples at this place. God damn. Okay, yes, now I remember. You’re the bitch that stole my spot. Don’t you walk away from me. This is serious. Ma’am…what are you…don’t call the police…I NEED MY PEANUTS!

Caged Coastlines

Caged coastlines
None more sad
Than sequestered sand
Manicured and abandoned
Restlessly reflecting the moonlight
Guarded against the machinations of men
For what?

Nothing more soothing
Tranquil and organic
Than a wet beach at night
Soles damp and caked with sand
Dancing along the edge of evolution
Swells make waves meet rocks for eternity

One ceaseless unfathomable entity teems with life
Bringing death
Erosion eats
Adds mass to its gurgling stomach
Without understanding satisfaction

Violence on this end of the phone
Placid code bounces off satellites
The unseen is always preferable
When reverberations finally come to kill

Angry like the agreed upon faces of its creator and its children
Flexible in its dormancy
Harboring the worst
For one big blowout

You try to cage us
But you are foolish
Our fingers extend to lengths you cannot comprehend

Experi-MENTAL

The following is an experimental writing piece with an illustration attached. Process: Kent wrote lines for “Manny”, and Kyle wrote lines for “Simon”. Simple. Simple Simon, the Pieman. I think I would like to be a Pieman. Ah, I hate career moves.

Enjoy.

Manny: Hey man. How’s it going?

Simon: Terrible. My cat has disappeared – completely.

Manny: Really? Oh shit, I’m sorry. How long has he been missing?

Simon: You don’t get it. Mr. Fluffer HAS DISAPPEARED. There was a sorcerer at my house…things went awry.

Manny: No. I mean, I remember seeing him Saturday night at the party, but after that… nada.

SImon: You aren’t listening! You couldn’t have seen him Saturday night, because we were cuddling. Mr. Fluffer and I like to cuddle Saturday nights; it’s in my calendar. He vanished into thin air – literally – last night.

Manny: Look, if you don’t trust me, you don’t trust me – but I am telling you the truth!

Simon: Manny, none of this matters. I’m processing the disappearance of my cat, and I am okay with it. The big problem here is that your mom is overweight and mean. Frankly, she is a fat bitch.

Manny: NO YOUR MOM IS FAT, BITCH!

Simon: (Jumps at Manny, puts a hand down his pants and yanks on his pubic hair)

Manny: EUAHH! STOP PULLING MY HAIR!

Simon: Like that will stop me! I want you to say “ok ok ok ok” and then “truce”.

Manny: Ok ok ok ok. (out of breath) Truce……fuck (annoyed)…. you fuckin’ ripped a chunk of my hair out.

Simon: It wasn’t something I wanted to do, man. You were just being a huge dick, and I reacted to your dickness. I am sorry.

Manny: Yeah me too. (bashful)

Simon: You wanna go hang out with underprivileged youth? Sometimes you can get them to do stuff for you – bad stuff.

Manny: Ok! Sure!

Simon: And when I say bad stuff, I mean (puts his hand down Manny’s pants again)

Manny: Wait. What?! Stop touching me?

Simon: (Rips more pubes out) (Laughs)

Manny: It wasn’t as bad this time!
