Question

Does anybody actually read these things?

looking right, heading west, east forty seventh street

if you happen to be in 

london, you should make

it a point to go to Alon

Zakaim Fine Art down 

on Cork Street to see

the new exhibition by

Dan McDermott; he

does oils and you won't

be disappointed-eon scott's tip

three pictures or "doodles",

what you do in spare time

before brilliant vision 

comes into focus

soft head

all day       a blue fog        like cigarette     with           no reason to write         anything         anything at all or         everything                        everything and then some        vision seen                 and recorded while it lasts as

the pose            straight ahead               staring   in time          the buzzer rings relief        they dissect my features for the canvas             as I ruminate in secret             imagine the attention                     prosaic manner               the notion of reflex    long time     behind you     a difficult worse   appropriated as 

a groaning criticism         imagines their attention   in detail    images with remarkable results 

I didn't want   exclaimed  twisted   positioned  receiving   outbursts   employed   without consideration     nothing     nothing at all    

posterity is meaning

winter storm watch ahead......

as sitting is making sense to me

as I wander through mentality

where thoughts reverberate

winter storm watch ahead.....

at least it's warm, so take

your outdoor plunge without 

me where a batch of snow

lies in wait.....

winter storm watch ahead...

I remembered a storm to 

salvage and send away to 

publish but it would probably

feel like zero

Vacuous abstract floundering

on the rocks of reality

is emphasized as the air

 is sucked out of the room

learn the lesson that's 

dispersed through developement

of effort and reaction

that's been decided to a 

quagmire that have elements 

of reasons for defense and 

danger and prestige that are

hard-liners supporting retaliation

activate today, it's the end of the 

pilgrimage that was felt through 

the heat of the day, present day,

what is visible in a scrap of 

daylight, serene and omnipotent,

none of those where I come

from, how to be,  how to be....

looking at them squarely.

scattered sanded saturdays

up against the wall with sunday,

we'll talk, talk

about priorities, winter storm 

watch with no agreement, no

zambonies........

%$%$%$%$%$$

mellow dramatic meanderings over 

maudlin subjects throttled my 

mottled mind

as the wind

witheringly eclectic 

propelled product

through my 

threadbare intensity

that hunted 

for savannah

and relief

from a salvation

rife with questions,

then crossing over

to the post,

another departure bids

adieau,

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&

out into the sun

bashful to exit

silently past

                                                           layered for warmth

until spring buskers

in an alleyway 

the vagabond retreats

desperate to cling

to lifestyle so 

vainly

the rent is 

past due

it takes time

to be in time

to the sound of

what's there

in the air

violated to despair

and beyond repair

a process

that there will be what

and whatever and all

that would be........

is it far from the bittersweet 

effect of the evening?

all the angles

that multiply

have been covered

do not disturb

but listen up.........

****************************

find a way or make 

let's take a call, an important 

function of academic confidence,

historically in an academic study the 

quality without context the 

level comparable with the 

struggle denied so let's have a 

fair race

this is blue on account that 

black would be too formal

on account of everything being

that of the unknown that 

ultimately fades to black

where compulsion to swear 

is regrettable in the extreme

**********

winter crisp pan arrival

with flakes from up north

the water drains quickly

before stillness captures 

it's movement was what 

one was thinking as the 

mercury plunged south

and introduced an earthly

delight some and a maddening

sensation to others that in 

some respects I am one with 

the latter unless the petro 

remains......

*********

when I hear a steel guitar, I remember

when and if it sings,  disregard 

and recall scratchy miscues and distorted 

delirium that mixed into parables of 

mistaken presumptions

as if we had the gumption to produce slash

create

it must, it must be exclaimed

how we polluted the air with 

sound, we twisted reverb and feedback

writhing in torture from crap

without end that would encore repeatedly

'til they released the hounds....

Sun please!

can you f-ing believe it? It's raining again! All I can say is this better give us some serious green in weeks to come. Want to see more paintings? 

#1- untitled, 2006 -ink, acrylic and chaulk on paper

#2-barn next door, 2007 -watercolor on paper

I should put some prices on these things but no bother, they'll sell anyway.

Oh dear, oh dear. I know I must be in Hell because I just went through a bunch of blogs that dealt with "life?" on long island. Notice the ""'s. What is it about this overindulged, segregated, ash-heap of vanity that deadens the senses and stifles expression? Is it a psycho-diffidence to insult? I'm really wondering....
