An Exercise In Speed

Let me tell you how good it feels to have the phone ring after someone says ‘I’ll call you’. The waiting for it wasn’t such a bad thing after all. After all has really entailed me not being the caller so much. I told myself, Hey what happens happens. At [...]

New Enough, But Classic Forever

“You live wherever you live,
you do whatever work you do,
you talk however you talk,
you eat whatever you eat,
you wear whatever clothes you wear,
you look at whatever images you see…
YOU’RE LIVING HOWEVER YOU CAN,
YOU ARE WHOEVER YOU ARE
‘Identity’…
of a person,
of a thing
of a place.
‘Identity’.
The word itself gives me shivers.
It rings of calm, comfort, contentedness.
What is it, [...]

I Love This

Lock and Safe

Holy crap, is my house hot right now. And I can see why there is a cable hook up in the basement; someone did some veg away from the heat. With the setting of tomorrow’s sun, I fully expect to have an alcoholic beverage in my hand. A reward to me.
And a [...]

The Shape of Petite to Come

Woke up at four this morning. There’s still a hint of warmth in the air. Maybe that’s from the pillow and blankets. It’s glorious to get up and make a pot of coffee and sit on the front steps just letting the sleep roll off me. I needed a good crash [...]

Sweet Summertime Radio

Best part of waking up today (and it wasn’t Folgers in my cup):
My body feels good.
It feels tighter, healthier. I actually want to stretch cuz then it will feel even better! I love it! Musta been that rousing game of tennis with the ladies this weekend, or the bit of biking, or [...]

O-h Mine

More than a continuous line. The Story of O. One of the best gifts to get from a good looking guy on your birthday, that and a mixtape. I’m looking forward to the day, not even my birthday, that will top that.
What did I think of O reading it as a teen? [...]

Morning Streches

Waking up this morning has been so good. The sheets are so soft against my stomach that I have vowed to stay in bed until noon. I am writing to you from there. The apartment smells like strong coffee which I will add creme to and feel its warmth through the ceramic [...]

Reruns and Riches

More treasures, this one in the shape of an old mobile home about to be demolished. Please, can we have the keys?
When I first went inside this place it was like nothing I had stepped into for some time, if ever. It was the Seventies choking on itself. The air felt unhealthy [...]

Microfine Droplet

Wholly gawd, I need some light blocking devices on the holes in the wall covered in glass! That and some pillows over my head to block the serenade at 5 A M from my neighbor the tree. Well, not reeeeally the tree, but the bitch-ass bird in it. Don’t he know a [...]
