Bouncy

The walnut table is
wobbly. My rib hurts
where I bumped into a chair.
The coffee is rich and luxurious.
Someone is pounding something
out on the street. The air
feels sweet and moist and laden
with particulate matter. Somewhere
a machine is humming. My bare feet
feel sticky on the wood floor.
A paper towel crumpled into
a ball opens back up slowly.

Thursday Top 5

1) The crazy rain falling right now.
2) The Diaries of James Schuyler.
3) William Basinski - Disintegration Loops III, Dip. 4.
4) The crazy thunder & sizzle of rain -right now- over William Basinski.
5) She thought I said Dunkin Donuts instead of Drunken Boat.

Late July

The heat swells around us,
it holds us upright,
but tilts us forward just a bit.
Weather with presence. There are
places people pee that were invisible in winter,
but are now broadcasting eye water
on Bergen Street. There's a guy
eating a burrito in a tinfoil wrapper, while
a man sweeps spent MetroCards
in front of the turnstile to the F Train.
The heat broke everything.
The stairs sagged under my feet
as I climbed them.

Three homes from my childhood, and the same three homes put through dream deeply

This morning I wandered through neighborhoods of my childhood on google's street view. I captured them by taking photos iphone directly from the computer screen. Then, I took the images and fed them through dreamdeeply.com

First house: Knollview Court in Atlanta, Georgia.
Second house: O'Hara Drive, Atlanta, Georgia.
Third house: Indian Trail Road, Ottumwa, Iowa (I wrote my first poems in the third house when I was 13).
