Morning Poem

The sky is open with rain today
eyelids flutter with sleep, unprepared
for pinched straps, tight subway cars, wet shoes
plod on grey carpets leaving behind
dewy prints and bloody mary drops
exhaled sighs, elastic images
stretch across dark green sight losing sea
a thirsty mouth will not soon forget
the taste of clean water on dry lips.

Skywalking in Russia.

I came across this video on HuffPost and had to share.  This is wicked crazy but I love the footage.

Hooray for Grey Days

It’s been damp and grey the last couple of days. Yesterday, I took a walk down by the Lower East Side and came across this wall of urban painted pictograph on E. Houston. I had to take a pic. At first, I wanted a shot of it straight on but I liked the details on this piece. The paint was running down the wall. Unlike ancient glyphs, there was no etching into rock for longevity. Instead, the temporary aspect of the piece made me pause. The city keeps evolving and changing each year with a quickening pace. I looked down to see if the paint had reached the sidewalk but the rain seems to have washed it away.

Anyway, I kept walking, listening to Ani DiFranco on my iPod, and on Lafayette something caught my eye. On Bond street, there is this amazing iridescent green building that I haven’t seen before. I was trying to get a decent pic to show off its colors but alas I only pinned down a corner. The building has a stone gate that reminded me of Gaudi. Lovely.

Enjoy the pics.
