2050

Late in 1999 the
prayer was to "...get
my act together..."*
Whichever were the
gods that answered
proved generous and kind

Fifteen years after
I ponder the
logical end game
to call wrap on
a phase an era and
Begin the BRAC**

Two years two more years
The year 2050*** set
to settle open tabs
The final sprinting to
outstretched ribbons and arms
Long live all the kings

Americans - April 12, 2014

Only Our Team is the Real Team

Keith’s solo on Bitch
My progeny is twelve-years-old
No I do not will not share

Let’s Take it to the Stage motherfucker
The intolerance of the middle aged cat
What my friend said about community

Floating on a lifetime of potential
Everybody has an idea
Execution is the only god

Somewhere something somehow matters to someone
Context sometimes
The process is the art

With many things I am actually done
Owner’s manual left unread
Time is the new boogie man

I lied
I Misspoke
I simply changed my mind

Diptych

Every now and then a photograph by a friend is so captivating that I download it, work a little post-production, print and frame. Sometimes two friends who have never met and who live on opposite sides of a massive continent collaborate in ways that I cannot articulate.

On the left is a recent photo by Evan. On the right, a photo from a couple of years back by Helen. In my studio, a perfect diptych.

Thanks.

I Remember All Lessons & Critiques

Fact From Hyperbole But
