Moment

A perfect night in Queens. 

Kicking back and Writing my novel while having a local ale at Kickshaw. 

Later While waiting for a taco at the taco truck Feeling the Awesome sensation of the 7 train rumbling overhead like thunder while at the same time hearing the piercing cry of fire engine sirens and police sirens crossing in front of me, a sonic trifecta.

The unbelievable taco!

Going into the local Bodega for a can of green ginseng and honey tea. The Indian behind the counter is listening to sinuous Ragas which are instantly felt. He offers me a straw to drink my tea. Godly detail.

Love this burrough more and more

Big day w girls

We had to move the car because of Monday street cleaning so we went to spring blooming Central Park. At Central Park we went to the reservoir where we met a nice birdwatcher and used her $300 binoculars to look at the duffle head ducks, wood ducks and Double-breasted cormorants. awesome. The birdwatcher, a beautiful red headed bird herself, also alerted me to the fact that there were black-and-white warblers in the park on migration right now. She had just taken a class with one of the Central Park birdwatchers from the Netflix movie. I would love to get a good shot of one of those warblers. then We ended up at 96 street playground for awhile. then try to go to the met but it was closed for special events so went to see the futurist exhibit at the Guggenheim instead. I loved it. The Carrie Mae Weems show there was good too. Ah NY!

Good Game

Hail Mary pass
Over your left shoulder

You would catch it 

If you were Jessica Fiorini

Or at least not Rob Fitterman
Hating his fictitious self

She said she was still a pattern though

The poem should end
After every line

"Beginnings and beginnings"
Said the Alice that doesn't live
        here anymore.

Day w/ Dad and beyond

Such a long day. I remember not finding parking in Williamsburg after dropping Dad and Bonnie off at Fleas & Artists, but I didn't care because I just loved listening to good radio (Mississippi John Hurt) and driving around looking at beautiful people and feeling the sun hit me. Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. I listened to that today too, as I was getting Tyler's little girl to sleep (we were babysitting while he and Jessica went to see Emily Lou Harris. Finally ending the night watching Foster The People and Lorde live at Coachella on Youtube.

Last Minute Save. So many in my life. That would be a good book title.

Happy 7 year anniversary

I woke up inside my dream this morning while looking at a very green hill of grass. I couldn't believe how real the grass looked in my dreaming mind, couldn't believe it was just a dream. I was wishing for a way to capture it, some way to write it all down and take it into my waking life. A little elfin Zach Galafianakis character popped into the frame and pointed toward the hill. "The pen is on the other side," he said with an impish gleam in his eyes. So I started walking up the hill and, consequently, woke up. Then, during breakfast, Genevieve gave me a gift for our 7 year anniversary and it was a green pen.

God ears

I saw the Hasidic man driving an odyssey driving in front of me on Franklin Avenue in Williamsburg. He was playing with the curl of hair. It was as if he was playing with his ear. I realized that he had grown of metaphorical extension of his ear. It was like an antenna. To better listen to God?
