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

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.

Deep Web Theory
These Kids Today
Impressed Because They
can make plans
have an idea
solve a problem
Certainly The Old Heads
Had Issues With My
Youthful Ambition
as folly
as reckless
as impossible
I Remember All Lessons & Critiques
All Words Are Wisdom
Fact From Hyperbole But
i don't care
i don't need you
i don't want anything
Legends Are Bigger Than
Individual Victories
