i see dead people

Lucky stared at the fool in the basketball courts, wondering when the hell he would stop staring. Staring is rude you know. He grew tired of staring at the fool and strolled down towards the subway, remembering that smell of cigarettes and chinese food. As he walked down the street, lucky soaked in the sun and remembered the walks he took with his owner when he was young, before the accident and before his troubles. He got to the subway station and walked down the stairs. He felt the rush of the train and heard the sounds of jazz from the homeless musicians. He strolled over to the track and watched the rats scurry around underneath it. Lucky barked. He saw a hand poking out from under the track. When he looked closer, he saw a face, one that he had seen before. It was Leland Jack, that fool that didn't blog in time and was told that his life would end in 28 days, so similar to Donnie Darko that its scary. Wow, how the gods hate that fool. Lucky barked again, this time with laughter. "How fitting," he thought, "now the rat will spend the rest of his life with his kind," at least until someone else sees him...

fountain of youth

Lucky woke from his pie incurred daze. Everyone was gone, and the smell that he loved had drifted away. He got up and started walking, like always, nowhere in particular. He came upon the fountain, which for some reason was working today. He started running toward the fountain, eager to jump in and take a bath, something that he hadn't had in ages. Lucky vaulted the lip of the fountain and dove into the water. What was once clean and clear water turned brown and hairy, and washed away all of Lucky's troubles. He hopped out of the fountain and shook off all of the excess hair and dirt and let the wind breeze over his coat. He sat in the sun and dried off. He watched the cars speed by, with drivers on their phones, ignoring life fly by, worrying about their calendars and their schedule and not about the present. He tore his eyes off the road and looked towards the basketball courts, where a man was standing, staring at the fountain. He looked like a freak, bug-eyed and jaw on the floor, as if he was watching a miracle. But really, its just a fountain, and the water must've just gotten turned on by some incompetent city maintenance fool. Funny what people are amused by, how some old fountain can be awesome and appreciated on when its on half the time...

Gimme someadatpie

Lucky had just finished NOT EATING in the diner and walked through the kitchen, speeding up when the cook saw his tail and thought it would be a good idea to chase him. Seemed like a pattern wherever Lucky went, no matter what he did, he was always being chased out or yelled at. Funny how people discriminate against the outdoor dogs of the city. He walked down the alley and suddenly smelled heaven. He hadn't smelled pie since he lived with his owner, who baked daily. He had grown up with this smell, a smell that he had come to associate with home, something he hadn't thought about in a looooong time. He walked to the main street and saw a line of humans lining up for something, but he didnt know what that something was. It looked like a Village People revival, firemen, policemen, construction workers and the like, lined up for something that lucky had to see. He started at a walk, but soon started running, why , he did not know, but a the time he felt like he needed to run. For once lucky was running after something rather that being chased. He got the front of the line and hit a wall of pie aroma. He was in a daze, in a land he hadnt been to in a while, a land of pie with wings and crowds of village people waiting. It was peaceful. It was quiet. It was pie.

the diner

Lucky walked into the 24 hour diner with food on his mind. He crept in through the back door, carefully staying out of eyesight, yet following the smell of fries and onion rings. Slowly, he crept into the main room, running from table to table with his tail between his legs so he wouldn't get stepped on. A waiter ran by, so Lucky ran to the booth and waited under the table. The woman in the booth smelled strongly of cheap perfume and nail polish, which made his nose tingle. His sense of smell was overwhelmed because at one point he was relishing the smells of the diner, and at the same time he hated the woman in the booth, whose tacky stench screamed in the face of all that is holy. Lucky's stomach growled, and he wished that the bitch would just order her food so he could snag a bit of it. While everyone ate, lucky sat, waiting for something, anything to fill his belly.

pollen makes me sneeze

a rap by lil doggie

pollen makes me sneeze,
that yellow stuff makes me wheeze,
better go buy some nasonex,
before my body turns into a wreck,
it makes the cars turn yellow,
and makes the Porsche owners bellow,
"shoulda' bought a car cover,
gonna go cry to my mother."
that pollen makes me wheeze,
goddam it makes me sneeze,
might be sunny outside
but its stormy in my sinuses...

men in robes

Lucky walked though the snow towards the Vietnamese restaurant, his paws cold and his coat wet. He stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, soaking in the heat, as well as the stench coming from inside. He lay down near the door and waited for the snow to stop, if it ever would. 30 minutes went by, and just as he was dozing off, he heard a man in a red robe screaming and shaking a stick. Lucky got up and watched this red robed rebel rouser, and barked a few times just to make sure the idiot wouldn't try to come near him. He got up and walked towards the man after he realized that he was no threat to him and followed the man down the street. He went all the way to the subway entrance and stopped, because subways smell like old fried rice and cigarettes. "I gotta get out of this damn snow" he thought and headed towards the graveyard, wondering what else that biotch mother nature could throw at him.

damn felines

Lucky walks down the street, looking left and right, left and right, watching for food, cars, and feet, all of which are common on a sunny Sunday afternoon. He spots a cat, sitting on a wall, staring back at him with those yellow eyes, swishing its tail back an forth, back and forth. Lucky barks, like he should, (he is a dog of course) and the cat hisses at him and scampers across the wall and disappears into a window on the apartments. Satisfied, Lucky walks down the street, running through puddles from the open fire hydrant that the kids play in, shaking off the water after he is far enough away. He walks down to the park, and sits next to his owner's grave, and sleeps in the afternoon sun.

RAINY DAY

Lucky finishes urinating, and walks down the street. He sees a billboard on the right side of the street "STOP GOING SO OFTEN WITH FLOMAX" and this gets him thinking, "maybe I have an overactive bladder, that explains all of the frequent visits to the fire hydrant. ( or sleeping Russians) Lucky continues to stroll down the street, passing by the subway that smells like old fried rice and smoke. He sits on the vent, taking in the heat of the subway cars, remembering the hundreds of heaters that he has leaned against on lonely nights. He recalls the warm bed that he once had, in the corner next to his owners' bed. He longs for a real bath and a bowl of real food, neither of which seem real anymore, just memories and feelings that have long left his body. For the first time in a long time he hates the unlimited freedom that comes with being a stray, and yearns for companionship. He walks into the alley next to the apartment building, and curls up next to the entrance, shivering. He sleeps on and off, feeling the heat of the apartment rushing through his body every time someone opens the door, and then the biting cold of the city streets.

fine dining

Lucky walked down the street after his bladder was empty, next to fill up the ol belly. the falafel didnt really agree with him last time, mabe some chinese this time, gotta love that General Tso's chicken. He walks out of the apartment building, dodges a taxi and heads towards smell of fried rice and wanton soup, hot damn that is just too good. He walks into the restaurant and remembers, "dont they eat my kind in China? mabe not a good idea" he goes around back to the dumpster and spots a couple of those take out boxes, "jackpot" seems like the day is going quite well for lucky, guess its just his lucky day (chuckle)

a night on the town

lucky walked down the street looking for a place to relieve himself, somewhere nice and cozy where he wasn't too vulnerable, somewhere he might get some more food too...he strolls in from of what looks like a nice apartment building, maybe some fool put his leftover Chinese food out in the hall, never fails...he walks up a few floors to a door with lots of locks and a sign on it that reads "VIVIAN MOONEY," "looks like an ideal place" lucky thinks to himself, "nice oriental carpet too, very artsy."

a day in the life

Lucky just got lucky, good for him right. He got lucky and on top of that he got some he got some free flalafel so he is doing alright. Needs a bath but whatever he is a dog he should smell kinda funny .
