On a lighter note, I’m gluing stuff. Hiding poetry behind the paint. Infusions.

Bumpy view of last night’s SpaceX Falcon 9 600th flight. 24 Starlink satellites launched via Vandenberg AFB. Notice rocket booster separation from below the “jellyfish” contrail which self-guides down to Spaceport drone ship off the coast of California. Interesting to watch, mindful of its villain

The 'self’ that I learned through childhood to present to the world was lost… I am always aware from moment to moment that behind the mask there is nothing and that very silence is the most wonderful, the most perfect, thing there is. Marc Hamer

another Walter Pavlich excerpt “…eyes that don't go through a person but go in and stay there, feeling their way unobtrusively around a sadness, or, recognizing pain, glancing it like two ants interrupted by each other.”
Like a thumbnail with one expression, with eyes that don't go through a person but go in and stay there, feeling their way unobtrusively around a sadness, or, recognizing pain, glancing it like two ants interrupted by each other.

It is the face of a clock with its hands in its ears. And its time is the beginning and end of any flower

Temperature of such a face: tapwater over a dead wrist; or someone's hair just before they awaken after a long sleep.

You would not know where to kiss this face unless you married it

Prepping a knock-off of Portland's plant-based Mississippi bowls. Rice, not-beef, coleslaw, green onions, ranch, bbq, @ranchogordo.bsky.social yellow eye beans, side of garden amaranth. I remember 2010 food trucks & miserable midnight shift at crisis call center. I ❤️ PDX #recoveringsocialworker

Red Delicious. Like eating a Glade Plug-In dipped in nail polish. I’d rather chew on Washington’s dentures. Can’t wait to chop this down and replace it with free Palestine and impeach Frump.
