joy?

duders,
i had a busy day!
i broke my lawnmower,
so i've got a half-mowed lawn;
i did the teentsiest tattoos,
but they took up half of my day off-
that's the price you pay for trying to be 'nice'.
(those ninjas finish last);
i hooked up some mexican magic at my favorite
ethnically-pretend atmospherically inclined
restaurant in the area.
i got up super early,
hit up the grossness of the grocery store,
at just-opened/mostly-empty o'clock,
and gathered the goodly 'gredients to greedily 
engage in some active participation that just
had to happen for everybody's future faces!
oh, yes, i did....
more pie, for your eyes?
yuuuuuuuuuuup.
teleport:

coconut, almond, chocolate, sugar.
that's almond joy, right?
right.
except, what the F* is joy, ninja?!
shut up.
a big fat crunchy-topped circle of treats, yo.
i'm luring all the hungry ladies to my lair with
fancy crumbs and fancier fire-kissed toasted
versions of the most nutty of those tasty nutrients.
toasted almonds?
dooooooooope.
toasted coconut?
expert.
neighbors,
there was no shortage of things to do on my
action-item list, y'all.
i still found the time to hang out after dark with some
good guys from the realm of soccer and situationally
appropriate young man interactive camaraderie.
teddy and thatcher, friends.
they know that sprankles are the answer:

c'mon.
i deserve it.
but that was just a blip on the timeline.
a bitty baby bright spot,
snuffed out as soon as the last bottom most tip
of that sweet sorbet sugarcone got bitten.
just sayin',
really real men do really real things.
like what else?
uhhh, like,
pack and organize ten years' worth of sh!t.
arrange and separate his from hers,
and laugh out loud at the idea of ours.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
losing isn't the same as giving up,
is it?
lost time, lost wages, lost things, kids.
an infinite expanse of lost things.
i don't think that a slice, or even a whole entire pie
would or could be up to the challenge of
filling in the blanks between before and after.
the only thing left is the now.
and right now,
today is another 'nother day.
it's all really happening;
never quiet, never soft.....7x20!!!
