another construction friday:                                                  smash, lift, grunt, clean, sweep, collect, empty . . . (grind) lift up (hup!) doors, hang 'em, nail 'em in. rap up the stairs, feet heavy in big old boots                                                                               thighs aflame --- heavy--fuck            clomp     clomp--stomp. swish. stop for lunch: sandwich/grapes/arizona sandwich only cheese so not satisfied full.. dusts in the mouth                                   (and nostrils) so i sneeze & sneeze raw-nosed in the attic cleaning ---brooms and dust dust dust. good view to the bay up second level tho: autumn vistas and panoramas and waves on white shorelines giant's tomb in the deep, breast heaving big wide windows w/wasps buzzing eternal buzz whack each with rolled window installation guide grind with the heel                                   grsch each one dead is replaced with one more crawling from odd upstairs nest ---from rest. feel guilty & awful killing them but so aggressive in their slowness (compensating) this time of year that moving material presents good risk of sting.                                                                           ---zing.       hope they will forgive me.
