TIMOTEO'S WACKY WORDS (that you won't find in the dictionary) # 2


CHIRKY: Combination of CHEERFUL, CHIPPER , and PERKY. Persons who appear to be consistently chirky can be a royal pain in the butt for coffee junkies who haven't had their morning fix.

MOMENT OF CONCEPTION (saluting National Poetry Month)







Trapped in an unrelenting
avalanche of words,
conjuring the vision
that has made him blind,
the poet speaks volumes
without moving his lips.

An act of procreation
without touching,
but somehow you've been
touched just the same--

Aware, as you muse through
your morning walk,
and later,
rappel down the mountain of
papers on your desk,
that the words have seeped
into your being...
the seminal fluid
implanting its seed of truth.

In light of Sandra Bullock's recent marital problems, I thought of some movies she might want to REMAKE:


THE DEPARTED

THE BREAK UP

WALK THE LINE

GET SMART

BODY OF LIES

SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE

THE DIVORCEE

DUMBO

UNFORGIVEN

THE GOODBYE GIRL

GONE WITH THE WIND

THERE WILL BE BLOOD

SHOULD I BUY THIS CAR?





































The owner says he was very careful with it and always drove with the headlights on. It has a very smooth ride, as none of the passengers have ever complained.

ALMOST GROWN















My grand daddy chewed his food so slowly
that everyone at the table fell asleep
waiting for him to finish

A lone lima bean slipped his lips
and dropped to the floor
providing some diversion for me
when I was three

I was good at entertaining myself
playing both sides of the chess board
with an uncanny insight
into the mind of my opponent
while my Uncle Viggo recited
off-color limericks into his
tape recorder when he was drunk
enriching my early vocabulary in ways
the boys at school thought was cool

Upstairs in my bed
I'd lie awake at night
my little radio pulling in the booming signal
from south of the border

Wolfman Jack gave me an appreciation
for rhythm and blues
and the revelation that being crazy
would be my ticket out of that lonely farmhouse

Biding my time

Playing Chuck Berry 45s on my lo-fi
and anyway I'm almost grown

A world of glory and heartache looming
that even my fanciful imagination
didn't see coming
