ici je suis

emancipate yourself
from the criticism
of a crass majority

our society is rude
materialistic and half delusional
it has no place judging anyone

i try to remain optimistic,
on account of strong principles

i wait in the wings
quietly, with mounting courage
a maturing minority

listen, it sounds so pretty

watching tv
living vicariously
skydive wedding bride
four hundred lbs
before and after
faster than the human eye
faster
feeling someone else's feelings
crying
elated
and the rock and soul music
seems like your own after a while
greasy fingers soft on the remote
checking on your babies

sleep tight prospecter

pyrite

spring's first sunny day
followed by another
cold night

the wind blowing me hither and thither a hundred and forty
lbs of feathers trying
to take flight

la jolla toledo

53rd & sophia

i'd rather have indescribable than incredible

though both have their own drawbacks

windbreaks on the pacific

ocean english bay

walk until 5am in the day

then wade into sentimentality

3 square meals of love

per day

keeps the water

tepid and serpentine

loose lips sinks ships
