PLUTO



We got the updates about You!

Photos from NASA on how Your 


heart shines, and Your five moons:


Charo - and we've heard Styx,



Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra -


that You're cold and distant, a


stygian money making machine


for the City's parasitic hills.



You're like the weeds hemlock and 


broom, who won't read this poem,


just here to command my attention.

Someday I'll learn how to listen.


À la recherche du temps perdu

Tony Toni Tone - Lay Your Head On My Pillow https://youtu.be/4b92-S8Qexk


Wheat-paste and spray paint over
rum ads we had just barely begun 
the biggest Free Fred on a billboard
when caught by the Lucky Florist man. 
We got away, like the three other times   
we told the po-po the art teacher said so.
They left us with the paint  and  buckets
except our friend Mexican-Indigenous hand-
cuffed and hauled off. She was roughed 
up. We  raised  bail  that same night  
in  jail she ate a  bologna on white 
bread  sandwich.  To  my  freedom-
loving  accomplices  who  know   
we  can  get   better:  Lay  your  head        
on  my  pillow  and  just  relax, relax, relax...
