About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find people who want to make things

ABOUT ME

sit with me on this bench
in this park
right now.

i know your feet tire
hey wax eyes
my arms tire of my sides
sit with me.

today is the birthday of grasshopper
the anniversary of the necktie and man’s workday
sit with me, for every day is an excuse.

my hair is matted from riding trains,
my tongue is tangled with me knees,
me father was a greyhound.

you wear a tablecloth dress,
you hair is oats.
hey, your eyes melt in direct sunlight.

here is how i found the meaning of life
it was in the bottom of a barrel marked fish
hungry, i climbed in.
the bottom was all little things
that i have done and forgot
(a mackerel too)
praise be to mislabeled barrels.

PHILOSOPHY

O makers, you and i are all the interest me now
the do-tos and rearranges
who said to you begin?

what you are is nothing if it does not change
and nothing if it does not keep changing
touch me,
i am stacks of wood,
a dead jelly fish,
a ribbon of ink black and red.
and paint, paint, paint.
i stack towers of oily rags up as a flammable idol.
share my god if it appeals to you
and i will call you brother.
if not, erect you own
and i will call you son.

but record nothing that does not say do.
how, when, and why explain no further:
do! now for its own sake.

make no offerings, for in return there is only modest gain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got born one time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Tonight i take refuge the ol’ art lib lady unknowingly locks me in
but Tonight caravaggio from a book of reproductions, a self-portrait (as backus), hacks and spits:

collaboration is a beast that can not be eSCaped.

you do not have to believe to participate.
you do know have to be aware to be evolved.

the Traffic Jam is a giant beautiful SCulpture.
requiring the input of millions every day.

take time to marvel at it

it is beautiful but these people are fools,
do not allow you worship to be subverted.
