changes (curse the gods)

sometimes i feel like
a motherless child.


other times i feel 
like the father of it all.


it changes all the time
and that i suppose is
called living.


still
i wish that 
things would
remain constant,
once and a while.


that
would be
great,
wouldn't it?

(that if i stand here) long enough

ask me about love and -
i'll talk about sex.


ask me about sex and
i'll talk about memories.


it all gets mixed up-
love, sex, memories.


so much so that i'm not sure
which is which anymore.


but i think that if i stand here long enough-
i'll figure it out.

self analysis

ahh... self analysis is such a waste of time... such a joke.
i did what i did because i felt like it... i wanted to be a bitch so i became one.
and - now that he's gone why am i having second thoughts?


ahh... what's the use? what's done is done. there's no looking back. at least not today.

the muse, the booze

if the music is the muse
and the wine is the booze
what else can i ask for?


what is there left to dream about?


if you have the answer
tell me please
because
i don't.

it's something

i saw a man on the street today who made me sad.


he was a derelict with a bottle shouting to the world: "i haven't been laid in 8 years and i don't care. ... what the hell is sex anyway? just a moment of pleasure and a lifetime of remembering and regret..."


then he took a drink from his bottle and went on.


he wasn't all that old. in fact not much older than me.


"is that how i'm going to wind up?"  i asked myself. "did i see my future today?"


... it's something to think about now that alma is gone.

the wort project

wort stands for Writings On aRT. and that's literal; it's not writings about art or related to art. but handwritten words on top of images. the aim of the wort project is to get a handwritten interpretation of a visual image side by side.

i will be giving images to various people (not just writers, but people that i think will provide an interesting commentary or interpretation) and then posting them on this blog as they are completed (or maybe in progress).

i haven't fully worked out the format - whether the images will be black and white or color, ect.- but i hope to figure those things out along the way.

thanks for reading & watching.
