I am up watching Live coverage of the royal wedding and surprisingly they are showing the inside of the cathedral-its still beautiful as I remember it.
Now for sleep...

More Santa Fe Memories
A picture of my favorite guy...with his feet in an ancient river
In one of the best places on earth...having a wonderful time.

there is a damage that is done
when you stay in school too long
how much longer are you planning
on building forever,
that ladder
into the sky?
the great work
the building
and places
talk and talk
like unbreaking
machines
destined to find
reality doesn't check
like a coat, covered
over like a hole
punched in the wall
anger fed by jealousy
the folly of love
probably grooves
on modern panic
and tragedy.

Moving Pictures / Still Pictures
traveled by potions
crossed oceans with
a box of paint
rejected quaint notions
of sitters and sailors
rich patrons
on a summer
jaunt.
drag a brush
through the white
varnish the crowd
just clutch
through the push
if his beauty
makes you numb
lock in a line
realize the edge
in fine detail
his smile is captured
but whether crisp
or drawn in the rough
one gaze is not enough
before the catch
or the locking latch or
the vast tourist
and perpetual bachelor
draped in soft light
head down and lonely tears
drift across painterly sighs
for J.S.S.

Untitled # 223
don't let your heart harden
lets travel to astral gardens
don't get down on an ism
like Fred said
lets go by Trism
the real strength
is inside
the door to life
you hide behind
therein lies a vast kingdom
if the castle ever comes to the trees
while you're queen.
I ride to you
wherever you are
in the world made for two
horses hooves carry truth
summer's breath is on the air
and the low clouds carry a blush
that envelopes all the ideas you are
trumpets on track four
nothing will stop
the rhythm
spelling every last letter
words that are war
words are
worth fighting for
signal flags and your family's name
rubbed out on the moor.

Wild is The Wind / Billy MacKenzie
there will NEVER be anyone who sounds like this again. This blows bowie's version right out of the water and takes nina's to the park. He still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time I hear him sing.
Oh, and he loved whippets. Nearly every published picture, including album covers, showed him with his beloved whippets. Towards the end of his life he had upwards of 10 whippets at a time.
Missing you Billy...
Up To The Top Floor
One room
One wall
with a window
a place to draw
good light and a view
of the moon.
leaves dew
on a nearby hill
birds, mice and bees
and some things no one can see
the wind pushes through the plants
blows the evening's pollen into the air
its a free trade zone
free for everyone
except you.
up to the top floor
through a hole in the ceiling
tear with hands and heart
its just a feeling
climb into the sky
but you could be more
got tired of what
I became while sleeping
covered with a golden age
and some dust
a lifetime of gathering days
counting every heart beat waiting
I like to dream a lot
got over feeling bad about that
press an image through a computer's brain
try to break through to people with something pure
threw out all the ideas of the past
be there in the future
the name and the flesh
together with
some dancing.

will roses grow
from where
all my mistakes
are buried?
wooden crosses
painted white
or a hill of grass
and stones.
silent marks
in quiet earth
surrounded by
laughter and forgetting.
ideas of air
fuel thought
trains as they
reach home.
your voice
pulls through
the strata of
stale ideals.
Don't want to win
if it means
lost sense of self
is victory.
what kind
of hero
stands against
mountains of steel?
children of tears
become river men
as time cricks
ages gears slips.
when carbon clings
to your hands
we'll lose our way
telling tales asleep.

Du Chat le Video!!
This is the first time I have uploaded something from my phone to my blog that is video. Interestingly, blogger already has a codec that makes it work with the coding template I just started using. The res still sucks but its better than it was years ago. Its David Sylvian playing in the background from Gone To Earth.
Penny For Your Thoughts
sometimes you're caught in its wake
something you can't shake
what does it take
to make it
through
a day?
sunrise
gives way to
evening and her
colors in the dwindling
light suddenly sun is slack
all colors hurriedly run around
sky gives way to blue then way to black
and you can see stars
and you can see
and you can...

Fatty Fat Fat Fat
I can't sleep.
Just had the most insane nightmare. dreamed I was having a heart attack. Strapped down to a gurney surrounded by people and screaming "I'm sorry honey, I'm sorry!" at the top of my lungs before waking up in a cold sweat. Gee, my unconscious mind is a blast isn't it? This is my brain's way of telling me my weight has finally become an issue. One I cannot ignore anymore. None of my clothes fit, or I don't like the way I look in what does fit. The tiredness and lethargy I am experiencing from the Zoloft has turned in to weight gain-now almost 30 lbs...
and that boys and girls is not okay. While I may not seem plump to the average joe I am heavier than I have ever been in my adult life and I can feel every pound. I don't care what anyone else thinks of my weight but I DO care about HOW I FEEL, both physically and mentally. Right now I feel like a slug-and its getting to the point where I am noticing back pain and pain in my knees that was not there 6 months ago. I cringe when I look at myself in the mirror-something I haven't done since I was a teenager. The thought of having to replace my entire wardrobe makes me shudder.
Yes, I need to eat-and yes, I need to manage my depression and mood but not at the cost of my health and hard-won self esteem. I didn't spend a lifetime of watching my weight to suddenly be miserable and fat at 40. Bald I can live with, but fat and bald makes me think I'll look like stuart-and I'd rather take a blowtorch to my face than go down that road to hell.

from the beggars banquet
to the bakers weight
around his neck
From the kick in the teeth
to sheer disbelief
jack boots in step
hated for loving
suspicious disapproval
eyes pierce in the gloaming
plans of evil and swift removal
when trials of youth were worthwhile
to try the hats on
from a different style
experiment in predominant
affectations
balance the equation
with a stranger's smile
while days ago they announced
the war at the end of the world
does anything mean anything meaningful anymore?

Big Hair Days
Me, Summer, 1991 in my trailer in the redwoods. Working in a kitchen in the middle of a forest surrounded by children, spending my spare time eating Otterpops, listening to the smiths and hoping that one day I would I find my prince...
Dual / Process For Explanations Of War
man is on fire / goddess in the rain
tires screech / underneath the street
futile attempts / cynical vents
troops in fury / military accidents
truth down a hole / manufactured consent
deep in the valley / in the past rutted out
light shines like a beam / cracks form in cement
sky changes colors / gas filled bombs odors
thunder comes down from above / nothing left standing
the post war grove / kill for freedom
no disease more virulent / ivory tower observation decks
for the affluent / to cheer for lions
cultivated destruction / for damaged prions
god minions wreak havoc / in the paranoid silence
their violence out of sight / to be found later
no victim of fate / in the bomb's blast radius
(Note: To be read in a call and response pattern by an iraqi child and an american child while they face one another but with two televisions in between and facing them from which they read the lines back and forth to one another, hiding the other child while they speak-at the end of the first verse the readers flip and the child reads the other half of the text to the other child.)

will it be tomorrow
will it be next week

before the reaper's
promise to keep
will the bells toll?
will tears roll?
you'll be dressed in light
sealed airtight
the clouds will open
like cracks in the sky

The Palace of Invisible Bridges
she cannot humiliate you anymore
friends that are gone
too many battles with no
survivors
now that they are won
who will forgive
as the war rages on
inside
guilty of dreaming
too often by fault
tried to tie my tongue
pierced down the edges
with daggers
to keep it from running away
with my mind
the clanging still ringing
from bells long since silent
the bell tower is full of cobwebs
and old poisonous books
you can't read
but there is
time enough
for rough edges
to roll flat,
to feel.
every page
to turn back
be torn out
and thrown to the wind
the story and its demons disassembled
cast out.
as we sit trembling
in the encroaching showers
we are naked
the guitars play backwards
the records shatter into shards
sound will wash away the black widow ink
while we huddle in the rain
and the dark escaping
as thunder rolls
hands over ears
when silence appears

Signs of The Apocalypse II / Non-Hamster Related
In a much more serious note, they have essentially declared that a meltdown of significant proportions has happened in Japan, contaminating food, soil and most importantly, seawater.
Yeah, as in water that is STILL IN the sea! So unlike Chernobyl, which was inland, this meltdown is happening RIGHT on/in the coastline. Who in the hell thought THAT was a good idea? I mean, yeah, seawater its cheap and its right there and I can see why cooling it with this makes sense-HOWEVER it doesn't sound like they put ANY planning into prevention of what would happen in the case of a serious tsunami. clearly-cooling your nuclear reactors is cheap but comes at the cost of putting your energy generating source right near the one thing every living thing on this planet needs to live-water. Water which is now flowing directly back into the larger seas right along the some of the deepest underwater canyons known to man. Joy!
"Its in your nature to destroy yourselves."
Ya got that right.

Space Age Thinking
remember the future?
the house of tomorrow
and cars that flew?
anything you could wish for
anything you could dream of?
science becomes reality
the Jetsons only
in the real world
but the fallout
astro travel was kind of ill planned
they didn't think of everything
lots of Phillip K Dick but
not much sound proof of
anything else..
hear the din of the future
problems from the future
indentured servants
just like you

Frank Tovey 1956 - 2002
When I was a teenager I was so influenced by Frank Tovey and his musical pen name Fad Gadget that he released records under that I produced not one but 6 videos to his music(he had none at that point and he was unlikely to ever get anything on MTV). Firstly he taught me that I could make music no matter what I had or knew how to do-I could figure it out myself if I really had something to say. Two-he taught me how to put what I felt into my lyrics. The human emotional element of my writing can be partially traced to his heartfelt and humanizing words. They helped me work out how to say what I wanted to say in my own lyrics and gave me the validation that I had something to say in the first place.
He died far too soon in 2002 at 48 from a heart attack caused by an undiagnosed heart defect but he changed the way most electronic musicians make music-including building his own synths back in the day-that his influence is more like an under current in nearly all dance music. I wish he was still alive and making music. He was a real artist-he never compromised his vision ever-and was unique by miles. Undefinable, a true believer in the magic of music and the word. Thank you thank you thank you for making my life easier and for chasing the blues away when I most needed it.

forced down in
forced down town
waiting for you
the light is stilled
by his acquaintance eve
she takes his hand
and starts to mislead
she is a domino
she really wants your soul
she wants to learn what it
takes to control
everybody makes mistakes
only you were raked over coals

Untitled # 220 / Word Association In The Hall of Oats
don't hold your breath
I'm coming up slow
low on air
I don't care
would these arms
be fishes fins
if today I wanted
to leave the fair
couldn't pick up a phone
wouldn't know what to say
if you somehow
one day
turned up
a lifetime would
careen into the chasm
lord what a state I'm in
no questions to ask
of anybody
no roadmaps
but landmines and familial
boobytraps, bootstraps
quack lashes medication
deadly madness in a bottle
but the beast that
is here in the hall
no shields
unreal versus the
real in a mirror
slimmer, thinner
then disappear
in the note
of fog
in the night
(the firehouse is leaning)
(perturbed by the darkness and her affections)
(crackling nearby)
(In the heather and oleander)
(rustling alerts the eyes of strangers)
(the danger of water, or bridges)
(would he had he known it was you)
(lets play games)
(lets play)
(lets)
(forget the past and this bloody mess)
(baby, all I want to do is dance)
('click')

What, Me Worry?
Think nutball pastor Terry Jones is weird on camera? the rule book for his church if you want to become a minister is riddled with misspellings and crazy cult like language-and this crazy cooter has managed to swing world wide attention his way! This guy is crazier than all the crazy cat ladies put together.
Just more proof if you ever needed it that there is no god-at least not one who is giving much of a shit about us at the mo'. Look who he is letting rep him here on earth?

Off Her Gaugin / Please Fuck Off And Die
Meet Susan Burns-yes, the woman who tried to tear Gaugin's 'Two Tahitian Women' right off the wall so she could destroy it because it showed homosexuality.
Of course the mental health advocates are coming to her defense saying she was off her meds and that she would not do this otherwise. But...How many times has she done this when 'going off her meds'? She has been arrested several times, and not for petty crimes. if two little girls were holding hands, would she hit them with a car because they were showing 'homosexual tendencies'? Like holding a bouquet of flowers and watermelon is some sort of sapphic rite of passage for lesbians everywhere?
Which begs the joke "How many lesbians does it take to make a tropical party?"
You know what? fuck her. Drugs don't make you a homophobe. Is there such a thing as reverse disinhibition? No, I don't despise her because she is mentally ill-not because she lost her job and life is hard-those are things that happen all the time to people both on and off medications of many types. If she loses her job/benefits its HER responsibility to MAKE SURE SHE FINDS A WAY to get more or get help another way-not the museum, or the general public's responsibility. There are any number of public health options and private options for getting medications that cost NO money. As someone who was taking these types of drugs, she was well aware what not taking them leads to-as her long criminal rap sheet can attest.
No, what actually bothers me is-even in her delusions she is still a homophobic bigot. Reality does not alter your values or their expression-please don't try and cover that by blaming her schizophrenia. it is not a get out of jail free card here. How long until she goes off and kills someone, even if she just perceives them to be "homosexual?" what if the painting was of two sisters? would she attack any painting that showed people of the same sex in the normal non-judeo-christian ethic clothing normal to their culture? even if they are not touching each other-simply in the same frame? C'mon, this is about being crazy-the meds here are NOT the problem - its the crazy white lady who won't take full enough responsibility for her mental health-full stop. Lets just hope she gets real help before she tries or is allowed to destroy anything-or anyONE-else.
We need to stop babying people forever and acknowledge that some people are just NOT going to do well in a normal society and DO something about it. better that than cycling these people endlessly through the mental health /criminal justice systems.

What happened to the blog, yo? / New Layout
I got tired of the code breaking and things like the videos not displaying inside the available frame(because the code for the layout was designed as an early template, it had very little in the way of tweakability) so I am changing it up for Spring!
Borrowing from my Fine art portfolio's code, which I will reformat in the coming weeks so it looks a little less visually clunky-I now have a more stable and sturdy(yet changeable) code. Enjoy!(hopefully)

Untitled # 219
the hands cover
over the mouth
over the eyes
hands clasp around
the heart and hurt
anything trying
to get in from the outside
no information
no explanation
you find yourself
face down
dead town
rusting city
torn down
playgrounds
children hide on the inside
crumbling statues
reveal hidden values
heroes covered over
by moss, acid rain
and ferrous stains
shadowed by the evening lights
over the mouth
over the eyes
hands clasp around
the heart and hurt
anything trying
to get in from the outside
no information
no explanation

Untitled # 218
left with nothing
but a name
same arms
blue eyed charms
I'll meet you in the progress
of sleep
in the back room
built before the tomb
claimed you and the family's desire
to breath
your name
but stars
you held
in solid
regards
(life is fine here/there was a lot of arguing)
cobalt
coal hands
cold houses and
rocks in the sand
a lot of waves befell the sweetened beach
now filled with the walking dead
sunbleached, damaged
before tomorrow with words
unspoken
but a name
same arms
blue eyed charms
I'll meet you in the progress
of sleep
in the back room
built before the tomb
claimed you and the family's desire
to breath
your name
but stars
you held
in solid
regards
(life is fine here/there was a lot of arguing)

Procession For Empty Spectacle
procession for an undetermined time
processed with confusion
unintended consequences
blasted childhood resolution
with drop zone destruction
would it take a hammer
a gun and a silencer or fire
a wicked blade in the quiet silence
a well placed poisoner
the breath of apostrophe, jagged
like blank and torn semaphores
or simply the long, long exhalation in wait
profession of an apology from the cage
somewhere in texas where they're already dead
half gifts returned from half a person
crowned prince and frog
at once.
the enemy is unmasked
the location of the masquerade
in the upstairs room at the haunted cafe
dimmed voices in the cloisters
obscured by trees and rain
what is left to hear in
the here and now?
an answer for the unanswerable
an effigy for those who can't see
the difference between
vanishing and vow
the murderer waits lost in vice
for the right time
for the slice
of mortal agony
death's hand closes
like a wrapping of ice
made from antimony
(unfinished)
