What's wrong with this picture?

Dearly Belaboured,
It has occurred to me that I'm spending most of nine hours
five days of seven (more or less)
these past twenty years
in the middle of
freakin' Golden Gate Park...
in a windowless concrete bunker...
What gives with that, anyway?
Ever your servant,
Purple XXXXX
Post Script:
Kindly eat this photo when you are done lookin' at it
so I don't get in trouble showing you all
this restricted super secret top security corner
of the M. H. deYoung Memorial Bat Cave.
The secretary will disavow any knowledge of my actions.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

We see dense clouds,
but no rain coming from our borders in the west.
Hexagram 9
I Ching

and the elusive foam of speech the dots on the letters

My heart exceeding
my need, hesitant between two doors:
entry a joke, and exit
a labyrinth. Where is my shadow—my guide amid
the crowdedness on the road to judgment day?  
from the poem
A Noun Sentence

Lunatic

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy,
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space,
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
Bob Dylan


Wishing you a fair wind and flocks of nightingales,
Bobby

Back round moonset this morning

Your everlasting summer,
 you can see it fadin' fast
So you grab a piece of somethin'
 that you think is gonna last
Well, you wouldn't
 even know a diamond
  if you held it
    in your hand
The things you think are precious
 I can't understand

Are you reelin' in the years,
  stowin' away the time
    Are you gatherin' up the tears,
      have you had enough of mine
 
Becker and Fagen

Yours in pettifoggery,
