lycanthrope Things I’m Thankful for Lately

MIDI versions of Shostakovich’s Jazz Suite

The first piss of the morning

Blue comedy

Kids still saying they want to be marine biologists
even though none of us are marine biologists

That the word diphtheria is aesthetically pleasing

Other people being vegan.


Open heart surgery
open-faced sandwiches
just openness really

Obituary pranks

A mumble rap song played between two
Slim Whitman songs when I play from my music library
with the randomize feature on

The martini before, the cigarette after,
and the other implied trinities of Dot Parker

Telling someone a joke your dad told you,
and they laugh harder than you did

My arthritis riddled hands still being able
to open jars for now

That there is probably a movie titled Super Wolf

Parents who really nailed their kid’s name,
like the parents of Newt Gingrich

Civil things that aren’t wars

The ability to combine strange referents, as in the sentence:
Give us this day, our Daily Double

The rhyming of the concepts

Bodypainting slumber parties

Undertows and overachievers

Trees that look like mythical creatures when you’re drunk
and squinting under a sliver moon

Calling your mother
with a tin can and some strings

Beats fanning out in your salad
like little Roman generals in Gaul

The stubborn things that won’t change
in a city like San Francisco

Remembering the mnemonic from grade school for the mathematical order of operations
effortlessly

Remembering, with some effort,
the order of operations for accountability and forgiveness

That nice surprise when you start up an audiobook
and the narrator has a Scottish accent

You all

You all not emailing me for two days
