When Desert Lesbians Vogue With Momar. OOOooooo Girl!!
as one blogger put it
"Man, Ghaddafi and friends know how to rock a public appearance. I wish Obama dressed like that. I wish I dressed like that, surrounded by an all-female, non-matching uniformed, breakdancing hit squad."

I am ALIVE and WELL
Jeez, you would think killing off the last of my online hookup profiles would be less dramatic! not my intention of appearing dead or anything like it. Sorry if I alarmed anyone.

Diversion For A Fantastic Bird
young man have you heard
the pain of life lifted off with love
on the wings of some fantastic bird
like a cleft
or a diversion
in a stream
the remnants of a lucid dream
the remarks
from past lips uttered
undiscovered amongst the clutter
it catches up with you
when time changes all
in to a golden hue
the force of change
ultimately slows
in the wake of
time's undertow

Lonely People
katie its said lives all day in her head
marcus can't even stand getting out of bed
janet cries cause she's always alone
linda talks to shadows
inside her telephone
what if you
were lonely too?
what would you do?
David waits until the rain above us falls
Thom bets all his money on those horses in the stalls
Judy talks on endlessly of the
past staged curtain calls
derrik sits and gets lost in his teenage magazines
emily cries cause she's been robbed of her dreams
alma talks of the past and her favorite benzedrines
James turns on the stereo
gets lost in scenarios.
lonely people
never seem to know
what they should do.
what if you
were lonely too?
Alan sits and counts the wheels as every car goes by
Eli writes up all the shows by bands you never like
Monty plays all kinds of tunes
under soft shades of
the moon.

All My Sleeps
might
[psychosis over white]
all of those memories
turned over into territories
of the forbidden
the house is ridden of the live mice
they crawl inside
the places old boyfriends hide
let them have the chaos
them them be sea-tossed
dried salted lips,
hung by the neck
with an albatross
just give me an easy life
why won't every single thing be easy?
why do I have to turn on my brain
to fix the same problem over
again?
where are the luscious baskets
of young boys for my endless fantasy parade
when my soul is so ugly
like fruit that never ripens
truth in your life
needs a stipend
to even exist at all
in all of my dreams
in all of these dreams
there was never one so
dishonest-but who deserved the sea

The Middle Of The Night (Wakeful Dreaming)
rain on me
quench the fire
ingiting in my head
in the middle of the night
evil soldiers chase
in the russian winter's cold
guns fired from trees like icicles feel
falling to form this frozen cage
dark thoughts vibrate
in a chattering mindful attempt at quiet
in dissarray, in darkness mired
in the middle of the night
there are no stars to been seen
a total absence of tendencies
ran out of glow paint a galaxy too soon
but the show goes on anyway.
every time the clock stops
and eyes close and the face locks
and shields of supernatural defense
while desirable, are ultimately dropped.
the film flapping on a reel
runs out before the final scene
the budget is cut, production abruptly
shuttered when at long last there is light.
you can call them monsters
they all take their delights
tiny pills are stepping stones into the abyss
in the middle of the night.

Robert's Roast Beef
Well, I followed the instructions for reheating the roast beef that I got from Bob, from 2223 the other night and, gasp-I didn't ruin it! it was just as tender and delicious. I had it with a side of the rice from Red Jade the other night, piled over with soy sauce and the vegetables from the roast beef and it was also Goooood. That can also be spelled as gud. or goude, ummmm...I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the cows everywhere for their kind contribution to this evening's meal.
both cats also benefited from your culinary generosity. I cut some of the most tender strips out from the center of the cut that was left over and tore it into little slices for the kitties, over a light bed of catnip. Tweed, in between licking his chops was heard to say "Meow, meow and MeoW!!" Josquin, not surprisingly, also said "Meow."

Love Waits / Love is Now
being sad
ocasonally
is okay
it means you still have feelings
that you are still human
giving all the way in
means
depression
has left you reeling
but it doesn't mean
it doesn't mean
you're through
they want you
to give up
pack it up
don't come back
from their attack
but no
your ability
is endless
you may not know it
but you've got traction
love is offshore
in the conflict
waiting for the time
to be right
to fight
for a lovewar
maybe you thought
you couldn't wait
that long
too many years
too many nights
filled with loneliness
and confirmed fears.
but no,
the serenity
will come when it is ready
hold steady
when the boots come to tread
deadly on the backs
of heroes
zero in on the indecision
play backwards
the fates'
indecent indiscretions
love waits for now
or for never
hold tight
love is always
and for now
when the mind's eye
becomes a hallway
hate is a doorway
you can fall through
for freedom
hopelessness
may have vast grasps
but no
see dreams come
your soul is the sun
love waits for never
or for now but
is never done.

1990 Self Portrait
I know I look severe. What can I say, I was 16 in this image and still stuck in High School.
Dignity Missing - technical foul
Some of us are occasionally challenged by clothing options. Most of us rise to that challenge. Sadly, the same can not be said of certain groups of people-ex-strippers, the blind and those who shop, apparently, at Walmart-the very heart of evil.
careful boys! She flags Red!
Once it has been seen it cannot be unseen! impulse-buy scrub brushes are available at the check out to scrub your retinas off.

Memories & Mermaid Lovers
proof that nostalgia is a powerful force in the nature of our existence, a capacity crowd of folks-a mix of adults who were kids when the movie originally came out, a few of their parents, now all old and grown up, plus a smattering of small kids who were being indoctrinated, er, I mean...turned on to the masterplan. The reason they caught my attention was that as they excited the theater they were STILL singing, wearing fake paper gold crowns and generally appearing for all intensive purposes, to be having a blast.

Lift Off
two blood cells
pull together
and swim away
like two dolphins
beacon dreamers
in the lost streams
just a second in time
in the clock of the day
ticking away forever in my mind
you remember
new water arms
waves kiss shoulders
shuttled by secret heroes
aloft in the wet blue wind
wrapping itself inside itself
so no one will ever hear it cry
dry winds whips
over circles carved
out of earth over and
over the stars shed milky blankets
we poison the sky into invisibility
money cuts through the blood of the jungle
like green saviors made of crosses,
etched in stone walls in some distant place
that fill strangers with wonder, kisses the heads
of newborns casting shadows down to you in the sunlight missing
mated with slogans cut deeply by graffiti washed away by rain

You Know Where You Went Wrong
(Eulogy for Hedonists)
he kept them
all at arms length
just far enough away
to be disconnected
but close enough
to touch.
maybe it feels good
to be free,
no existential guilt,
for a small fee.
no level too low,
or place your soul can go
swallow the sword
but gag on the hilt.
like trying to graft a sapling
on to a burned out tree,
praying for light while
feeding disease.
the match snuffs out
like a rockets flare
failing in
our atmosphere.

Jupiter Meets Moon, Sings Song
dreamy seas and singing girls
lashing waves like cirulean arabesques
protean harmonies drive sailors mad
hung by pearls even in the shallows
left to feed the creatures of the reef
dissolved by an ocean's absolution's of sand
kicked into the rift of concrete.

New Self Portraits
The first one kind of has this Saint Homo Jesus of The Nazareen Penecoastal congregational church of the nostalgic futurists kind of look. uh, yeah.
the second one looks more like a shot from an interior CD booklet than a portrait. who knows. with a little spare time and some energy on Tasha's part it might still be that.
yo. diggit.
