    In Your Easter Vomit
    by Peter Stampfel & Antonia, circa 1970s

    in your easter vomit with all the flies upon it
    you’ll be the drunkest wino in the easter parade
    you’ll be all hung over and when they roll you over
    you’ll be the rankest wino in the easter parade

    on the avenue tenth avenue the
    photographer will snap us and he’ll say that
    you’re like a pile of manure

    fifty pounds of comet
    could not remove the vomit
    and all the flies you’re wearing
    to the easter parade

    Happy Easter … and remember, don’t eat the little “eggs” the bunny leaves on the lawn.

  • i didn’t throw the pebble

    I walk through a Ford dealership every day to and from work. Last Thursday, going home, my eye was caught by a tiny round black pebble dropping onto the hood (= bonnet) of a nearby car.

    A salesman was near, and saw the pebble. He yelled at me, asking if I’d thrown it. I said that I didn’t. He didn’t seem mollified. I better watch out for him.
