the human fur is burnt
I wanted the fire to rise off of its keeper and spit up its fury onto the cliffs
of their shoulders.  I wanted their trance-like curiosity to make the shape
of gray smoke and puff up the sacs of their lungs while they choked on
the swamp of their voyeurism.
I’m the magic and the [...]


I think obsessively.  About harmful things.  Long spiny things full of metal and salt.  I wish I’d stop thinking.  I’d wish the long windows of the earth would close to me and nothing would leak in for me to considerer.  But surely the clouds with clowns strapped to their moist tops riding them like cattle [...]

brand new, birth, a baby of life
my wise morning came after such strange dreams that were in conflict with what i requested.
chameleon, adaptation, adopt new knowledge
a man came to my door with a box of supplies.  building materials.  machines and chemicals of progress.
possible selves, curiosity, childlike
ooooh.  the robotic fingers and the whispered apologies and the [...]


gray days

28May09

i have writers block.  i’ve always had it.  since the beginning.  and it just got worse.  i got worse.  as i got better i got worse.  the time between pages grew longer.  the pauses between words stretched out forever.  it feels good to say it:  i have writers block.  or i have some kind of [...]


together we stole from the ocean thirteen elephants who didn’t belong there.  we tied them to huge trees and set them on fire and watched them react without pain but rather the biting of their own trunks.  we smiled like how we thought an elephant might smile and then we walked away to catch a [...]

24Apr09

i checked out three books and three DVDs from the library.  my receipt only says i checked out three books and one DVD.  i have now been put in a position to make the choice to steal or not to steal.  but it’s not that hard.  i’m going to take everything back on the day [...]




kirk says, after having explained to him the nature of an amusement park planet created by a highly evolved species:  the more complex the mind the greater the need for the simplicity of play.
i like that.

episode: “shore leave”


i think i’ve come away from 2008 with very few memories.  i didn’t really change positions or locations too often.  i think that’s why i don’t have many childhood memories.  i remember spending my summer vacations inside my apartment in new york.  i don’t know if i ever left until it was time to go [...]


did you not like my last note. it was sent exactly a year ago from today.  it was a bit lenient on authenticity, much like most notes i sent to you.  i was just thinking of subway cars and their inherently ballsy way of bringing attention to themselves and i thought oh, yes, that was [...]


blog surgery

22Mar09

i just did some blog editing and got rid of a lot of the melodramatic junk.  i love throwing things away.  i’m not interested in pure uncontaminated memories.  i like my memories watered down and edited.  i feel  a lot better now.  now i need to go figure out a way to make some money.


i regret everything that happened there.  every word spoken, every action taken. everything.  it was a big sloppy, expensive, regrettable mess.
now lets have some yogurt!


upon retiring

03Jan09

Not much unlike the smell of a cow nursing its calf on a grassy knoll somewhere on the surface of the moon.  If you concentrate hard enough you will be taken there.
The rivers rushing with bile. The moon, a scoop of curdling cream.  Your bruised face healing like water vaporizing on a hot sheet of [...]


not settling, not compromising any values, not taking whatever i can get because of its convenience.
plain and boring, contemplating the unfamiliarity of the future, of the present, becoming more and more voluntarily detached from the past, all pasts, not just mine, but yours too.
bearing, enduring, solidify, strengthening, hardening, simplifying
out of control, unresistant, in unison with [...]


low on fish oil tablets, have three large bottles of chewable vitamin C in the house, got money back from the federal government, toes got numb multiple times, starting to believe i have bad circulation in my legs, found out on the internet that if you want to get a cake from charm city cakes [...]



it must have something to do with support or lack of support or because the number of black spots on the walls of my blood-pumping heart is growing rapidly.  small heart attacks.  i’m healthy.  i’ve been eating well.  i take care of myself as much as i can.  but every time i trip up, slip [...]


i’ve arrived

10Sep08

my fat face is ripe:
i don’t want to fall in love or share a bed or a bank account or an apartment
my eye is swollen again, adding to the puffiness:
i’m not interested in having date nights, that comes years after the prescribed flirting that comes months after the small talk over sushi.
my fiber intake is [...]

each year…
each moment…
embarrassing(
if not to keep my mouth closed
and the body postured stiff)
today and only today, i want to hear a deep voice,
particular,
miss everything
i imagined,
every delusional
plumage reaching out to me.

i want to leave behind a manuscript, an important one because in this moment, and many moments preceding this one, i feel capable.  after it is written i will go (leave the body) as i am here for few reasons, possibly just this one: to be written down in the books and set forth eternal.  [...]


i’m writing again and having writer’s block again.
my body continuously changes from solid to gas and back to solid again.
sometimes i am moth-like and bitter in my intentions when i am cutting open cocoons.
i am trying to stop but apparently it is as addictive as heroin.
the heaviness sill lingers.
i don’t know if i’ve ever had [...]
