hummina hummina summer is coming the weather is warming and hummingbirds humming around my canyon window in the last weeks before i move my carload worth of personal possessions to a fortified compound in the barrio of highland park where i plan to spread out in the three bedrooms of the main house and set up a writing office in the grand finished garage out back where i will write my masterpiece as the great rob fitterman scoffed not believing in the idea of the masterwork ha tell that to richard wagner who probably would have beaten rob to death with a potato which i heard is all wagner could afford to eat in his early days as an unrecognized genius in his own mind or a goddam maniac in my mind but whats an unrecognized fellow like me got to say about genius when i cant even get recognized as a real writer by my friends and family who have the manuscript proof that i do in fact commit words to paper at a frequent and often feverish rate and which i will soon string together in masterful fashion in my mad garage of verbal alchemy within my fortified compound in highland park when the weather is high and you can stretch right out and touch the sky in the summertime hummina hummina hummina
