Road Map to Peace

Filling Station

James Creek Gas Station

St. Louis Airport

A note I found in my passport. Possible research for a story I'm working on.

Sophie, Please Don't Go-phie

Because Sophie is leaving for Prague in a day we all gathered at Goldie's Italiano to cheers her "good-bye" (or in it's archaic form "God be with you").


After Goldie's closed us out, we headed to Alex V's front yard. (Yes, Alex happens to be in New York City.) Of course our random yard events are "High Society." Eric Denker, National Gallery of Art, senior lecturer, stopped by the yard for a beer and to help send off Sophie with an aire of sophistication.

Thomas Clay DePalma

Me, Casey Smith, and Jenn DePalma made these triple exposures inspired by the art of William Newman. The execution is "Exquisite Corpse."

A Site for Soar Ears

The Danielle Steel(e) Society of Advanced Poetics has just begun a website. The idea: many poets, one site.

Beltway Driver

I went to help Alex V
I drove his car and he drove a car
And we were going down the highway
It was the first time I'd driven in four years
And I don't have a license anymore
(I haven't had a license for nearly 4 years.)

And I remembered while we were driving how the highways were
-during rush hour
On the on-ramps more cars get on
-and it doesn't seem like any get off at the off-ramps
But I had a lot more patience this time
My first time driving in 4 years
-than I did before

When I get off the highway
We snake through a trail through the trees
-to the suburbs

Through Rock Creek Park and into town

Don Cabellero: Backstage Black Cat

"I came here to hear them, not you!"

"Oh, you can beat me up after the show then. I'll be outside."
