the days run wild like streaks of shadow over the snow on a cold forgotten day...

Self portrait...here in this moment....down by Donnie's bench with leo hopi...watching book tv right now on cspan about the harvard psychadelic club how funny is that...leary,...ram das...the dead...ginsberg...they are all there....and there i am...going with the spiritual...deep into the 21st century...
playing pool...
playing pool with leo hopi and giant the other day in hastings-on-hudson...a forgotten town on a forgotten night...crack whores....abnormal men with no teeth...smoking in the bar, mad with hallucinated visioin kerouac's dream....america in the 21st century trying to stay warm in the ice ago of american thought...

Change the dial...
change the dial turn the frequency...new perspectives...sun licking the east river...the roar of the fdr drive....park workers taking their time...joggers lost against the backdrop of east river...winter...soon spring...and time marches on...here, in this moment at this time...

the qua at night..
the qua at night I walk like a thief amongst my hallucinated dreams with the ghosts and spirits of yesterday passed and one's yet born...in the stillness can be heard such a beautiful noise as the agora sleeps and the cops don't notice my presence...words as my friends guide me to states of higher being the faded notebooks of yesterday's dreams the strength to propel into the future the act of seeing a revolutionary act emerson speaking to the harvard divinity school in 1837 laid it out succintly...

amazing sunset
caught an amazing sunset over the tappan today...it was completely improvied when leo hopi picked me up and his car and we followed the muse over to the river...I felt the spirit of ichabod crane as the sun made its migration through the color...although this pales in comparison to the shit in Haiti it was still a magical spirit moment...almost time for the videopoem to come on...

IMAGE...
Listening to WBAI on a cold winter's day...James EArl Hoffman on the politics of Black America....the hypocrisy...how Barrack has done nothng for black america...clinton too...the brand image of politcs...surface reality...and the bars around the east village no longer resonate with ideas..suburaban kids with finance dreams looking to get laid driving the rent up in the hood...and the sun sets in the qua...orange sreaks coloring my emotions of nothingness and the train belches carrying the theives back from ththeir robbery...america, never innocent...founded on slvary....runned on jim vrow...1.2 millioin spent on every soldier in afghanistann...50 percent unemployment rate for black...the incareration rate of the prisons...and the foreclosure rte...and they say I am crazy....ah, image..

The light...
The light from a year ago...golden melting sun over the "grand union" parking lot...lol...the sense of home in modern american...what a concept....seeing is a way of being...the tv show criminal minds plays on the tube...it's about profilers...so it goes..what will the light bring this year...?...

New Year...
It's a new year with new light with a new camera...old seeing becomes new seeing....emersonian awareness not lip service to Mr. Fury...Melville's Dream...the great white whale....krishna's story of bhagagavita..I would say jihad but I don't want some CIA flunkie misconstruing what I mean by that...jihad is battle within, not conflict with the West...it's a new year with new light with a new camera with new seeing in the old familiar place fixing a hole where the rain gets in keeps my mind from wandering where it will go...

Qua Videopoem
I write about random images of a speeding life that stands still in an eternal moment...thing are constantly changing as they change not at all...the buddha teaches us all is existence is maya which is defined as illusion Brit Hume not withstanding...as I go a thief in the night I am one with you...could this be the night of our pain?...American culture reduces us to being passive spectators...by seizing the image I feel like I gain back a small iota of control...it's not much but it is mine...in a culture that is defined by commodity relations identity is so cheap and small...human relations defined by the power between us in the pecking order...so long ago in the cafeteria I wanted out of that world but there is no easy exit accept for the Big Sleep and who knows what comes then...?....
