Adam's Beanstalk

A daily adventure-bag of insights and old bones from an unknown poet in Manitoba's south. Caveat: Not everything is to be taken literally. Things are often shaded with poetic crayons; be the owl. Also, not all these bones are collected from different fields. Find themes that run througout each post and the journal as a whole; the most insignificant event may be part of an ear.

I apologize in advance

Hello, my little peaches! Time to pluck you from the orchard. Yes! Let me get a ladder and a big wooden bucket. You are quite plump, and will sell for a good price in the market! Don't be ashamed -- you were born for this! Live it up!

There is a girl in front of Tim Hortons who is wearing a bit of a bedsheet down below and only some giant daisies up above. She is quite plump.

Trying to read "Housekeeping" but fall into the most beautiful nap right after the train flies off the bridge into the depths of the lake.

Yes. I think I hit a tasty spot.

But where does God end and the world begin?

Tell, me peaches - can't you speak?

Why do you think we have feelings about fictional characters? Are we stupid, childish? Do we believe them to be real people? I have my ideas. An essay topic, perhaps. But tell me what you think - talk peaches!

Green things grow on the cheese in the fridge, green things grow on the cheese. Black things grow on the plug in the bath, black things grow on the plug.

Oh! A pit!

Did I tell you I didn't like peaches?

Don't call me daughter!

Sick, lame, stupid fruit.

I read a book all day - fuzz face!
I played guitar all day - mush brain!

Take a look at the sky - and suck!
