I met

December 21, 2007

A woman in a bar. And she said. I don’t know if I should respect you or fear you. ‘If you fear me, you’ll sleep with me, if you respect me, you’ll fall in love with me, and that’s much more dangerous my dear.’

blues

December 19, 2007

Last night I went and saw local blues guitar slinger Albert Castiglia downtown in Himmershee Village. A couple of my buds have been trying to get me to see him play for quite a few years now. He played his little heart out. Certainly a fine player in this vast wasteland of no respect for [...]

Beale Street lyrics

December 17, 2007

someone wanted the lyrics for this song. here they be….
I stared down broadway
stood out on madison and vine
seen this land scared
by man and the hands of time

in a shallow grave
the day they tore [...]

sleep…

December 16, 2007

I can’t seem to get any tonight. I lay down and start to write poetry in my head. Over and over. It’s pretty damn pointless.
“The most beautiful paintings are those one dreams of while smoking a pipe in one’s bed but which one doesn’t make.”
I keep thinking of Van Gogh. “Lust for Life” has [...]

Kava

December 14, 2007

It’s a very strange night on the beach. From what I can gather, there is a tropical storm brewing off the cost of the Dominican Republic or something. It’s December, and the weather has been very tropical. Squalls off and on and quite a bit of rain running through the beach. I had a really [...]

a soar spot

December 12, 2007

Turkey vultures are riding thermals over the bar and grill next door.
Makes me wonder if they are sensing some sort of carrion or if they’ve
just fixed their attention to tonight’s specials.
I went over to the local music store and bought a couple of sets of
guitar strings. Living on the beach makes the strings go ‘bad’ [...]
