I’ve got work to do

then I started procrastinating
then I started writing a procrastinators’ manifesto
now I’m reduced to reading random posts
and self observation

time for a break

but I’ve got to work

I get up and pace
in and out of the office
furiously

why am I agitated?

my head
my left shoulder
I can’t remember anybody’s name
I can’t . . .
my feet give out
I fall
in the hall
looking closely at the carpet
the dirty carpet
with motes of dust slowly settling

such a beautiful pattern
gently quickly unfolding
seeing through the wall
everybody
like a surprise party

I’ve been on vacation a long time
so happy to be home.

That gray band near the top is the near distant river that’s flooded (in May, 2011). So there’s a bunch of vertical reflection in the water which I’ve messed with a bunch, along with the magnification, ‘n’ stuff.

Trying to channel a little Turner

If Turner were dead today . . .

Turner managed to make part of a canvas look whiter than white. In the 60s there were detergents that also claimed to achieve “whiter than white”. It’s like somehow that white next to the buttery yellows makes it pop.

Picture if you will, this mofo on the side of a semi or on some otherwise faceless wall in an airport.  Click on it to make it big. Big big big. Made this today because I wanted to look back onto spring.

Take no action

Take no action without commercial career shin
co ear careers cold years
to someone corrosion
corrosion
co ears careers corrosion
co wears coat careers
to coerce coworkers there we go
no no
it’s a good way to worse
coworkers coworkers careers
co worse
to go where so there is
to do something
cool we’re shin

— Trying really hard to get a voice transcriber to write “take no action without coercion”

There’s a crack in the pavement

There’s a crack in the pavement
and it’s ok

the crack lends character
the crack provides visual interest

the pavement is better with the crack
the pavement has more to say with a big jagged crack

plants grow up from the cracks
insects live there

feeling the crack as my brother

Fall Evening

Windchimes and the graceful movements of clouds just after sunset. An occasional raindrop lands in my wine.
