Useless to think you’ll park and capture it
More thoroughly. You are neither here nor there,
A hurry through which known and strange things pass
As big soft buffetings come at the car sideways
And catch the heart off guard and blow it open." -
For a moment everything will be all right. You’re back
at a beginning." -
She kissed me…and she tasted like New York. She tasted like coffee and bacon, and she tasted like longing and rain on the hot sidewalk."

2. from Some Walks with You, John Hollander
Lying in love and feigning worse (we love to know
That show of pain consumed it and non was left to feel)
For so long we had made up dozens of excuses
—Excuses for making up excuses they were—out
Of the stuff of love. Ah, but even saying it makes
The heart sink: what do we make things out of—need? desire
To have, to make? Or rather our of whole cloth? or yet
Of tattier fabric of vision and oversight,
Undersong humming along with it all, Gretchen’s wheel
Spinning its own disco music? This can go on and
On, but what of candor now, of truth? We must reflect
On this obscurity with a bright, open face, not
Foolish, and musingly look at the dark and light up. -
ATTN: ARTISTS
Please consider submitting/donating work to the Art for Oil fundraiser show. The situation in the Gulf is getting worse and more damaging by the day, and there are so many great organizations working towards cleaning up the mess who need (and deserve) all the help they can get.

You simply go out and shut the door
without thinking. And when you look back
at what you’ve done
it’s too late. If this sounds
like the story of life, okay." -
My blog just turned 2! I knew I had started it sometime in the summer but couldn’t remember the actual date. My content sure has changed a lot over the past two years!
love notes
these are things that I could not tell you;
things that remind me of you when I want nothing more than to forget;
things that have gone wrong;
things that have gone right;
things that will never happen;
things that are your fault,
my fault,
the faults of no one;
these are things that we did not do and will not let go of
