finders keepers IV, V, VI

IV

I saw a silhouette from the alphabet while seeing sound collide; coinciding like centuries of art drawing senseless shapes, eating grapes, and another piece goes untitled.


V

(chanting: from lithium onwards) hydrogen created a new document



VI

a sea-dove, cold from wind and wings fastened with wax--
fly by all means was just a part of speech.



Portland Oregon part three





Portland Oregon part two: for carl--wherever you are (thank you john)

U is a great letter

alphabet soup number three



then i recommend numbers:


specifically number eight.


eight being eight as the cardinal numeral next after seven with its nouns expressed as viii.

Finders Keepers III

simplicity over compensating for color as nouns as categories of words.
used in the frequency of early conversation adjectives, attempting to qualify the density of essential.

finders keepers part II

[obscure]

i have a secret.
a vowel sound
unaccented,
illustious and humble, but mine.

adaptations melt gradually into the calm of you.
as colors fade
i will hide under language to blur the qualities of sound.

finders keepers part I

[quiet]

everyday i count a handful of calm,
a breath will not disturb our smooth glass spots of air

"this is a matter that concerns my calm"

hurry my friend, hurry,
we are without verbs of being,
remaining and maintaining ourselves.

mmmmm soup

an exclamation. louder then expected by some to attract the attention to the speaker, or to give some sort of time to (re)consider what to say; also, you may vocally express disapproval by a factitious clearing of the throat. Hence ahem.

More alphabet soup please

In the smallest of quantities in ordinary air,
susceptible only to combustion,
I found what I was looking for.

alphabet soup number two

It was night: Quiet and calm spoke the birds, laughing at nouns added to the verb of a sentence to complete the predicate. It was night that was reminded whose head is a noun or pronoun, or a hot air balloon safely off the ground. (And you whispered, “hence they are used for observing atmospheric phenomena.)

part IV: one theory on the autobiography of red






hairnet paradise

its weird and beautiful and just what you need to hear right now.

Santa Cruz part three





bad bee

I said, “I love you” softer then it should have been. It was quiet like the sporadic California dragonflies who became unfamiliar with our gifts of fruit salad that we tossed to the grass. It is nice to be alone I said, a bit louder then before and began searching for a hidden golfer and their repetition for numbers.

We sat beneath a summer clear blue sky and you asked if we would ever be golfers one day. I think we could be, I declared, but we should walk with the following clubs to maximize our theory of a perpetual “hands free” movement. In our bag there should be a three wood, a four and seven iron, pitching wedge, and a putter.

I must have trailed off eventually, because I remember you saying something, lightly swatting away a bee that wanted to be your friend.

ballast

A [little] gust that shifts or changes position or direction,
such as sand or water carried by a balloon.

Disclaimer:

I do not condone bad graffiti. its true. i appreciate the ability to craft genuine art in a way that produces a new collage in the process. good train graffiti is applauded and celebrated with the hope that it will only get better. i am trying to promote effective and creative art and my current favorite is via stencil. this will be a series beginning with the roman numeral one.

fiddlehead ferns



haiku

a few(not many; amounting to a small number) haikus for the day:

i, geometry
different shapes you and i
kissing each other

----

photographs of you
a background of early spring
i love your secrets

Shasta

a few pictures i took in san francisco. Shasta, the forgotten cola. However, it is not cola, but pop. Not hop on pop, but soda pop.
This cracks me up: http://www.shastapop.com/



Vetiver

there are very few bands that put in the perfect mood
and sometimes you just forget until you sift through your cd collection and re-happen upon it
a pleasant mix between fantasy and wanting to leave reality
the freak/folk/psych/country roots that Vetiver has is one of the those bands
it seems to be the perfect music for late morning, just as the sun is peeping out and the california fog has lifted
now i am not telling you how to spend your mornings, but should spend it with Vetiver, a San Francisco band consisting of Andy Cabic, Devendra Banhart, Alissa Anderson, and Jim Gaylord.
