Dash two My everything bagel has been burnt a little bit. My tea is in a bent paper cup and it is too hot. It’s going to be a day. That is not the whole story. All around are other things burning, world wide news-wise. There are confused and hesitant steps toward the future. WhereContinue reading “September 2, 2020”

What is it makes art, art? With the sun down,this low, dusty hill murmurs to quiet.At the tired house where a door hangs, crucified from one half of hinge,you can almost hear thatlight, whispering radio soundsremain within.The helmeted cops are probably,only recently gone on? Outside, almost hidden in heat blistered trees,are petty birds who’ve ceasedContinue reading “A Photograph of St. Aubin Street, July twelve, nine-thirty P.M.”

Start again. I had nothing to do (uh…not true, there was plenty but it wasn’t appealing.) I watched a documentary about Wynn Handman. I never heard of Wynn Handman. Wynn Handman ran a theatre and taught acting (still teaches) in New York City. Oh New York, Oh Greenwich Village, Oh the days…the long gone days.Continue reading “August 25, 2020”

A year ago last night, I swallowed an ancient poison. Out of slow pain, grows each next blunder, submissive sigh. I know well what terror’s counsels be. Crouched low, in a dim light, I followed familiar rhythm. There is no gain, no use, to wonder might I die. I could feel the mirror watching me.Continue reading “A Bar Man Asked, “What’ll It Be?””

Two oh, two oh two oh… another interesting day. There have been many, if you think on it, over the last nearly 70 years. My upcoming birthday (October) has me a bit reflective. This is a milestone, no matter how you examine it. I have turned a corner and, like an iceberg, most of meContinue reading “August 20, 2020”

Poem preview from the new book, I am sending this out to a friend who is at a crossroads (mild). There is no judgement here, no solution, only awareness of something…something new. 3. A Generous Breakfast The visitor looks paused, as if at brink.Maybe, he waits to gather forward motion strengthor considers deep a commonContinue reading “Poetry From ‘Every Dish in the House’”

Funny stuff. Some naughty stuff. Of course. I was reminiscing about hospital situations I have been in. At the same time, I was realizing that I have been in hospital a number of times in my life. I suppose the same is true of others? Yeah, I guess so. My first episode, other than theContinue reading “August 17, 2020”

Slip slidin’ through and past the ‘dog days’ of summer. The days named so because of the position of Sirius, the Dog Star. Isn’t that interesting? I used to think that it meant the days when the dogs get so hot and tired that they just lie in and be lazy in whatever shade thereContinue reading “August 15, 2020”

I haven’t had much to say the last little bit, have I? Been mighty quiet. I realize it is because I don’t believe I should speak, I don’t really know anything. I got into an interesting discussion with a friend about the word ‘regime’ and how the connotation changes, depending on how it is pronounced.Continue reading “August 12, 2020”

Already launched into August? Not. With no singing season in sight, the summer has felt endless. I can imagine that the schoolchildren feel the same way though their situation is less certain. “Will we be going back to school, will we not?” I know we, as a chorus, will not be singing until after JanuaryContinue reading “August 5, 2020”
