Man w/ 1030am Beer

I was drinking coffee on the porch thinking about my job-getting strategy.
A man walked to the New Hampshire mart and I felt that he had less to worry about than me.
Then he walked back carrying a Big American Beer in a brown bag at 1030am.
Then I felt better about myself.
Then I remembered while I was checking my email in the morning I drank half a glass of beer that was setting there from the night before w/ out thinking much about it.
It smelt good.

Sleep Well Americans

You can sleep well tonight knowing you're an American
In America playing Rock N' Roll
Drinking big American Beers
Walking down streets w/ names of States
and American Presidents
solid establishments like McDonald's & 7-11
Perot was right in his theory of giving
it's like the poor are making it
off the people who are barely getting by

Janis Goodman

I took some photos for an artist and professor at the Corcoran, Janis Goodman.

Washington Post Post

While I drank a cup of coffee this morning I ran out to the corner paper box and did something I rarely do, bought a paper. It was just to see a picture I took of my friend M.E. Sprengelmeyer in the Style Section of the Post. Sprengelmeyer and his Jack-Abramoff-suit-buying antics are making me and him famous!

Celebrating w/ Something

There was something to celebrate.

The kind of people who are shunned
they have a position but are shunned

Rocky Mountain Photo

My friend M.E. is a writer for the Denver Rocky Mountain news. He paid me $50 and a 12-pack of pale ale to shoot a portrait of him for one of his columns that ran today.

American Sculpture Gardening

We are gardeners gardening in the most extravagant garden
"Do you want tea?" yes of course I want tea
of course I want tea
they're looking at us everywhere
there's little cameras looking at us
there's sculptures looking at us
and we're just gardening
. . .
In this expensive garden there's a hole chewed through the rat trap
in this neighborhood the rats have smaller rats
that they pay to do things for them
like chew holes through rat traps

In this garden the gardeners are artists
immigrants
innkeepers
botanists
countrymen
In this garden we artfully pick up wind blown leaves w/ our hands
and put them in our bag

Here I'm raking the leaves and my dreams
through the Mondo Grass
