me and number one went down to the laundromat today. now, i go to the laundromat a fair amount, to heat-set screen-printed t-shirts in their big hot machines. but today was the first time i washed my clothes there. and you can imagine how bummed i was that, though i remembered my sketchbook and my other book (which today happened to be the i ching) i forgot the action figures i was going to put in the front load machine with my clothes to watch them spin around and battle. but it worked out, as number one found the capsule toy machine, and we each got these cute little alien figures, kept them in their capsules, and put them in the wash to play “wash riders”. number one’s capsule busted open and mine stayed intact, so i won the quarter back (the little guys cost a quarter). wash riders are go!
huh, it just only now dawned on me, “[x] little martians, all dressed in green, tried to get to heaven in the washing machine”.
