Glimpse in a Puddle of RainThe sidewalk passed under me. I walked alone.   
 
I saw an echo of a foreign land  strange synesthesia in a pool of rain:   
a tree's reflection - mystic and a-shine,  new-like, sharply etched in hyper-life.   
Golden from the cloudy glow  of streetlights' beam made strange,   
I sought a glimpse of liquid dreams,  of something beyond simple sight.   
 
What is the way I go to seek, to walk  this light to freedom and to faith?   
If something in the ninth dimension,  curled at my feet in mist - I did not see.   
But somewhere in its Glimpse in a Puddle of Rain

Post-Modern HomeworkThe cat slips up to the windowsill, moves  the shade to pour a wet streak  of winter light across my book.   
Aha! I say to myself -  the post-modernists are illuminated.   
It is not about words, I muse,  it is about the light of artistic creation  or some other narcissistic jazz.   
The cat turns his head, disdaining,  goes to get a drink.  This, he already knows. Post-Modern Homework

Poets DyingMillay sat down the porch,  sighed, and departed,  the warm sunshine competing  against the cooling of her flesh.   
Rexroth though,  he went out in a cascade of sparks,  the heart monitor blazing  as his flame was snuffed   
I’m sure Williams was staring fiercely  watching the window for a sign:  his most important image.  And likely, Whitman merely drifted away,  opening his arms,  at last able contain the world.   
And Barryman?  Well, it takes a lot of talent to  leap from a bridge  and not hit  the Mississippi River Poets Dying

Please Don't Tell MePlease don’t tell me you’re a poet.  Oh please, oh please  Please don’t say you’ve written poetry   
There is nothing less charming than a poet  Standing all in black outside my door  Beret just so,  Tinted glasses far down the nose.   
Oh please, don’t be a noticeable poet  Stuffing your wail-wet papers under my door   
I don’t know what a poet is  Or who you are supposed to look like  But I know you bother me   
In the same way that  A knife, scratched the thousandth time over pale paper  and drawing blood to flow down weeping cheeks  In a dark ho Please Don't Tell Me

Totally writing a book about this

Wed Aug 15, 2007, 3:06 PM
There are just too many stories about my job. I absolutely need to write a book.

It shall be called - Pack It In: A Summer in the Moving business. Lots of entertaining characters, crazy situations (mover's humor: "So these guys were on a piano move...") and life lessons. Critical darling all the way.

The parallels are pretty kooky - moves yesterday and today had the same number of kids and pets, but the way the houses were run was totally different. Think filthy versus shipshape and you'll be close.

I've now encountered two successive shippers who owned dogs-that-do-not-officially-count-as-dogs-but-as-cats.

And there is so much irony in hearing people complain about a house smelling when they themselves stink of cigarettes.

Critics will grumble. Of course they will. That's one of the functions of critics. As an artist it's your job to give them ulcers, and perhaps even something to get apoplectic about. -- Neil Gaiman
