flat tire!

yesterday i had a flat tire. and the funny thing is, i didn't even know. and the kid, and the doctor, and the squire, and gerry all stayed and helped me. it was nice to not be alone at that moment.

have you ever felt like a flat tire? like you were able to deflate - become liquid - become a puddle - a puddle of nothing? and some kid rides by on his bike and splashes you around. and you end up on the sidewalk - where you inevitably get caught on the bottom of someone's shoe. stuck in gum and dirt. to land on that person's carpet to be vacuumed up and thrown out with the garbage. and you end up in the grass - meanwhile some dog walks by and takes a piss on you. and you end up stuck to the kid's bike wheels - where you are promptly ridden on all the way down the street, onto the driveway and into the garage. the garage - where you would collect with all the other dirt until years later the kid moves out and his parents finally decide to clean out the garage so they can sell the house...

and i say, 'FUCK YOU dog, take a piss somewhere else!'

i just go on singing ween, 'goddamn right it's a beautiful day'...
