Jesus Kurt Cobain Christ bought me a hamburger from a cornerstore in washington state.
'who's this with a bike? i'll buy you a burger, let's go in..."
Normally I would have been the first to converse, captivated by his woven cedar hat trailing eagle feather. But Jesus Kurt Cobain Christ didn't remember the weaver's name and so we sat in the shade at that timeless intersection between national park and indian reservation where this man's family walked well before Jesus had dusty feet and continue today well after curt cobain left, and I think Jesus Kurt Cobain Christ is still drinking
'i'm ben, what's your name cobain?'
'I'm Jesus F%#in Kurt Cobain'
Fair enough, a name isn't more than a code and names aren't so important when it's a conversation over a burger.
'food's up' Don Juan called.
I don't know his relation either, though I know he doesn't work there. Jesus Kurt Cobain Christ offered me money for groceries but I couldn't find food in the adjoining grocery store, the beer probably being the most nutritious option. god bless america.
we sat down to that meal at a crossroads between now and then, a gas station grocer resteraunt beer store with a sign for surf board rentals and neon lights that told me: we make enough money to stay open: this must be a food source for people...
that burger and fries was better than any real food, and that's the problem i figure. with fatty factory beef and bacon, processed 'cheese' and iceberg lettuce. together they're better than anything it seems.
I located ketchup and mustard in anticipation for failed flavour while jesus and don juan chatted about heavy weight boxing.
I wa glowing from days of hiking on the beaches, watching eagles learn how to fish, finding feathers, finding seals. i was facinated to be hosted by a person fro this place, enthralled by the layers of contradiction pressed like sedementary stone into the shape of Jesus Kurt Cobain Christ, older than most mountains.
I met Jesus Kurt Cobain Christ
and riding away amazed
at rich experiences
in incredible places
