Having astigmatism in your eye is no fun at all. I have a few days off work now, and so it seems that this would be a good time to stop procrastinating and actually begin practicing all the things I always wanted to, to be all the things I aspire to be. I long to be further along this road, already set in my ways...

They played at my college's end of the semester festival.
Too much to think about. Another day of work, like any other. Home for the first time in a few days. I am tired. I walked down Clinton Street, light rain chilling my feet. I should have put my boots on. I listened to my dear friend jeff sing songs as I walked, remembering the past and other things. Waiting for life proper to begin,...

a haiku for poetry day, somewhat inspired by my rant from earlier this evening (and that I met Rain on new year's day)

through this transitory world,
new year's housecleaning

Whoa! I was just going to comment on your last post and then I got all caught up in looking at Rain and the cute kitties and you and when I came back there was this beautiful haiku. That's soooo cool! 
Thank you by the way for your rant. I am constantly struggling with procrastination and creativity. Your words spoke somewhere deeply in me, and they said encouraging things. Thank you.
PS~ Ever get crepes at Java Vivache on NW 21st?

just got back home. it was the best trip ever. too short though. the scenery was very beautiful and i hate being back in the states. 
most of my life I have written long slabs of self-deprecating nonsense, filling up journals and giving myself a hard time for not coming up with anything good the first time. I was always afraid to keep practicing, i.e. just write and write and let go of the control I kept insisting upon. instead of venturing off into the wilderness of free prose I turned...

for poetry day, I submit a piece written by E.B. White many years ago. perhaps not poetry per se, but it was, as Rain so aptly puts it, written just for the sheer joy of writing, of creating an image and a song and a dance with words. We would all do well to dance that dance more often...

i am a sad bastard today. no real reason for it, more a cycle i spin through, up days and down and back and forth. directly correlating to the amount of action i have taken in dealing with annoying realities and responsibilites like getting my car registered and insured, my health insurance taken care of, my college application info filed away, and so on. since...

good morning. it is fucking early. another day of work. getting up this at this hour demands a certain quality of music to wake up to. this morning quasi keeps me company while i dress in the darkness.
and it is poetry day. Rain showed me this one... enjoy.
Where does this tenderness come from?
These are not the first - curls I
have stroked...

where have i been the last few days? work work work. and quite a bit of sex as well... the minders/thermals/quasi show was fucking great. i got to meet Jayne there as well. tonight i am utterly spent and exhausted, flush with a sense of my own pathetic little hangups and utter inability to lighten up about petty things. i feel very tired in general,...

no shit can i take some of them back so i can have more time to get things done

they say you can write your way out of anything. they neglect to say you can write your way further into the mire just as easily...
for a few years now i have hated the idea of writing any poetry. felt i'd lost the ability to be honest with myself. i remember years ago i wrote lots of bad...

i don't really believe in the myth of the tortured artist. just some thoughts i had in response to the news today.
He walks out of the theater. On a city street, illuminated by the moon and lamplight overhead. He keeps his hands in his pockets; a light noncommittal shuffle-walk. He is thinking about genius and necessary torment. So many have died. They keep dying...

Your profound post on Spaulding Gray almost makes me fell guilty for feeling so brilliant and alive right now, but then that is the antithesis of what you have written, non?
Much joy to you on this spring day! We will have to share a pot of tea someday.
*hugs*

PS~ Your new profile picture is wonderful! Very nice job on that, so peachy keen as a certain dark-haired lady would exclaim. 
today Rain and i went down to the Multnomah County Courthouse. i got ordained by the Universal Life Church last night, hoping to go down there today and help a few same-sex couples tie the knot. Rain was ordained a few days ago, in preparation. it was pretty overwhelming to behold once we got there, the joy in the air was incredible. i was too...
