Is April dragging on?

 Don't Ask


Estimated loving memories come hard on the heels of blindness and Rococo furniture.

Wait, I have more to say, but where is Leonard Cohen when I need him?

Probably in Mexico with Lefty and What's-His- Name

riding bareback with sunburns on 50% of his body and saddle burns on most of the rest.

Seems like he was a heavy guy even though he had two children by one different woman.

That's what she wrote this morning on a postcard from snowy Nevada with a picture of a red sky, along with goodbye,

while I was flying paper airplanes of 50 peso bills in the cantinas of love

where the sun never sets on the card table with several mangoes and an onion.

What is wrong with him?, she asked someone I don't know.

He's an incurable dreamer with a sunny prognosis and a death sentence, the only true answer.

I've been from Guadalajara to Merida, Sisal to Progreso, baked by the sun everywhere in Mexico.

When I was able to open my eyes the dermatologist stalking me said I was at least 100% Mexican.

I didn't deny it, although in rational circles I'm thought to be a gringo hybrid.

  1. I know, I know, that's why Naïveté comes before Don't Ask. No worries though, April is almost over. What kind of month is May?

Dear Diary

 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.

River of Gone Words

 Another trek to the river of Gone Words Another sack of snap-backs One more time of packing it down To throw in and be forgot Another bunch of words not said Another expression stillborn on my tongue One more bouquet of complaints Tossed into the River of Gone Words Another wish sent to drown Another desire to let go One more urn of the unspoken Sacrificed to River of Gone Words This is safer ​ This is best These are better left unexpressed

Joy of life and math?

Dabbling in joy fever curious I am so forever young but just now plotting my lifeline x-axis anticipating the positive intercept knowing pain will sometimes overlap the y-axis of joy and wonder. the x-axis is fixed, the y-axis is not, forever sits at said intercept on the x-line the plot a mountain silhouette stretched along the flat x-plane, peaks were the second derivative is zero and none is the number to come.
