cat pyjamas

looking for an ending
just like at lunch today
funny how it always loops back to the beginning

infinite...

(he called me the other day to let me know that a bird of paradise had popped up from beneath the backyard weeds)

...because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars... - Kerouac

abacus

am i ready for nine to five?
in the eye of my storm
woke up to a song today that says me better than me
hoping for the best but expecting the worst
are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

heaven can wait
and diamonds are forever

new deal

the devil thought i was nancy, so long ago
this was a lie too
nothing ever changes, until now

actually, make that never again
starting now

flashback

wow, dale cooper...

I fell in love once, on the water. 
I had plans.
There was a boat, and something about a fishing trip.
All was on the up and up.
I suppose that was a long time ago.

Here, men are fishing, 
but there are signs everywhere that warn: 
'Eat at your own risk.' 
The local sea life looks harmless,
but it gets you from the inside.

Love, you may have damned me, but I have no regrets.

homage to my flaneur

first instinct, second guess...
advice

walking through puddles
“notice what you notice”
we leave these things for others to find

eyes open
hearts open
minds open

notebooks...
open
be ready

stop (in the middle of the crowd)
energy swirls and we see
time slows

kindness
homeless
*blink*

little gifts of gods in details

sit still
ask
walk
look down

tiny black beaded bag with a red bill or two
and nothing more

maybe we see better in the rain…
