i don't want to day my way by life
i want to tickle out some comfort from
the tight fist of destiny
i don't want to steer my moments
through traffic but
wish only to massage a decade
into a dream.

I just finished shooting a set for my crazy Brazilian friend, Ro, and for its own reasons it was pretty intense. Point is,...

oooooh I can't wait to see it!!! Has she heard back yet?
I miss you, on a more specific note,
I wonder what you're doing right now... your socks will fall off when you check out who's also been happily coerced into SG land... Toby

I miss you. I said that.
I do. smile
toby:
Hi ya cowboy! I'm hiding away in Iceland, Ontario. wink
Let me see this room of yours... I'll go through it with my dirt detector nose... Hope all is well in NZ. smile

underlit by gauges reading zero, we
terrify each other with what-if kisses
and severe hesitations of the neck; we
momentarily commingle our bubbles with a heavy toss
of odds, of whatthehells.

and who knows when those dice will hit bottom?
who knows when i will hit another deer
that was jesse owens in its last life
and deserves to be president in the next

halleluja

to the sweet soul remembering
that can only come
with a return to austere Nature
and the warmth of an older friend
than current self;

to the prospect of new beginnings
with an old flame
with a new set of strangers
somehow less strange for being
farther afield;

to myself,
for self-love restored
in an unwitting moment
of smile,
of clarity,
of troublewishing.

Mmm...

I'm leaving for New Zealand in less than two weeks--gack! All this week it's been -30C (-31F) and I've been outside all day. In Auckland right now it's +24 (75F)!!! NOW ask me if I'm excited--YOWZA.

Alright so a quick update before I go to bed, with minimal drama: got together with a beautiful poet-queen, Zoe, who I've had a schoolboy crush on since we...

Uh oh.

Tired of one night stands;
Too tired to fall in love again.

What's a boy to do? (No, really -- please tell me!)

Where's the soulmate with her tool belt slung low?
I need someone I don't need to figure out or explain myself to --
how impossible is she, on a scale of now to never?

ahahaha. I'm bringing smart ladies your way... plus they ain't hard to look at...
Honey. I know how hard it is to be happy in a situation that isn't ideal to your level of intensity and worthy of the amount you have to give. Enjoy your time to let go and stop looking. Plus, i'd never have found IT if i had concentrated too hard on the finding. I just thought i was getting a particularly hot one nighter and it turned out that i just kept winding up in her bed.
shayne:
so when exactly do you leave... and do i get the pleasure of seeing you before that mystery day?

sophie's good evening
counters shayne's gentle goddamnyou
and i'm left in liniality
trying to skate my eyes just fast enough
to catch a glimpse of something still,
something steady.

a whipsaw cowboy slows down, rolls down, and elbows out some profundity:
"life is no place to convalesce"
and a siren hesitates in her careening to whisper,
"Incredulity is the new enlightenment".

if you told me...
