Q (Interrogator): Something must be terribly wrong. You just slept for seven hours straight.
A (The Accused): What? Oh. Yes. Lobsters. I always do.
Q: Lobsters?
A: Yes. I always do.
Q: Very well then. Let’s move on.
A: Move on?
Q: Indeed. I need to know about the night in question.
A: That’s not a question. It’s a statement.
(Transcriptionist): Could you repeat that, please? I didn’t get it.
A: I didn’t get it either, but I was going to let it slide.
Q : You were going to let what slide?
A: What I said. It was critical. But she didn’t hear it anyway.
Q: Let’s move on. I need to know about the night in question.
A: The night in question?
Q: Yes.
A: Well, I’d slept seven hours straight. Something must have been terribly wrong.
Q: That much has already been established.
A: Has it, really? What about the lobsters? Can you ever establish lobsters?
Q: Lobsters.
A: Oh. Yes, I see. Well done.

Tonight
Now incense holds the air where promise looms electric
and music catches breeze; where gentle catches kind:
………………..stay, stay the moment, linger—
……………….or, if we sense a song,
strong we raise our voices there where harmony we find.

You’ve been here before
You don’t even have to knock
You’ll be back again
The gate is always open;
but you knew that, didn’t you?

It’s Almost 4AM And
After a double dose of Columbo and
and a couple of Perry Masons, he’s
had enough. Relax, he tells himself
— or thinks he tells himself (he’s not
certain if he’s spoken out loud or
if he’s spoken at all) — he’s only sure
it’s time to relax, so he rolls over
onto his left side (his good side) and
presses the Pandora button, hopes
that a little Susumu Yokota Radio
and the tranquilizing effects of the
Lapsang Souchong kick in soon.
