Busted

Forgot to post this yesterday

Hand

more hands. On the computer this time. 

Et tu, internet?

"You won't
Believe what
Happens next!"
A website
promised
Bit by bit
But when
I clicked
Again and
Again
I then
I didn't
Give
A shit.



(Ugh.)

Take 6

Guitar solo ideas for a  tune my drummer Doug Kamprath wrote... for some reason the time signature is tricky to play to. He requested a legato feeling to contrast with the hard rhythm.

Lets just pretend I posted this yesterday.

Nanny McFee

Watching Nanny McFee tonight with the family. Such a loaded day, it was the first chance to draw.

Photos from walking around in Durham, NC

This one will count as today's post!

I call this one "doorway to heaven"...

And this is just to capture all the crazy cloud textures there were in the pre-sunset hour

Sorry for the absence! Travel stuff

I'm traveling again this weekend, and the last two days were just so full I didn't have a minute to sit down and post. But I did write two airplane poems yesterday, which I reproduce below for your enjoyment and am counting as yesterday's post.

I'm enjoying a bit of a return to form--I didn't mean for the following poem to be so negative, but that's what the form pulled out of me. This is practice for practice's sake.

Airplane Pantoum

Steady white noise buzzing roar

pressure just this side of the door

sitting in a terrible seat

nothing available to eat

pressure just this side of the door

Visibility is poor

nothing available to eat

peanuts, insufficient meat

Visibility is poor

next to me, insufferable boor

peanuts, insufficient meat

for those who’d rather be elite

Next to me, insufferable boor

full of self and needing more

for those who’d rather be elite

to walk and stretch their dainty feet

full of self and needing more,

I turn to fantasies of gore

to walk and stretch their dainty feet

tired of who I might meet

I turn to fantasies of gore

steady white noise buzzing roar

tired of who I might meet
sitting in a terrible seat

*   *   *

crisp sky above clouds--

descent pulls my body back
to earth's awareness

Commission attempt #1

Tapped on a tiny keyboard

Another light day
