WHO'S ON DRUGS HERE? ME OR YOU?
i walked into a burrito joint this afternoon & some bald pirate fellow was helping himself to the salsa bar w/a large blabbermouth parrot on his shoulder. i couldn’t believe the noise coming from that beak… hey control your parrot, buddy!

“work as if you live in the early days of a better nation.”
– ALASDAIR GRAY (inspired by poet Dennis Lee) i’m taking this deeply to heart. gray penned an essay for the sunday herald in 2007 expanding his thoughts on the slogan: The only people who think their nation can only be made worse, not better, are likely to be very rich. … The essential...

SIMPLE THINGS STUN COMPLEX HEARTS
ever realize you’re in a moment that will remain w/you forever as a nice memory even before the moment’s fully passed? i had one saturday evening, while waiting w/my girlfriend to meet friends for a party in the sunset… slowdancing to soulful motown numbers in the antique living room of a victorian on duboce park.

THE ELEGANCE IN EVERYTHING
sometimes when i’m reading in the morning sunlite, i’ll notice the fibers in the page & the smooth-pressed inking of letters &, all of a sudden, it’s difficult to even want to follow the progression of whatever story graces the table that particular day. the page glows pure white from behind its fonts & becomes a holy thing, like the very first time you found snow...

THINGSTHINGSTHINGS
it was like summer today in s.francisco… a warm sunlit midday & a cool evening of ocean fog. i left work an hour early w/coffee in mind. i couldn’t find my girlfriend (she was seeing a movie w/another man!*) so i grabbed a cup myself, sitting at the corner of two streets in nob hill where skateboarders bomb into the tenderloin. this is my favorite thing to do lately. i sit at this...

BE KIND, PASS BY
i live downtown, where san francisco is reminiscent of dirty paris falling down a hillside. some interplay of urban geography keeps all the trains (except those postcard-perfect cablecars) down in the flats of market street. & because i like to wander, i spend a fair amount of time pushing up & down these hills to those tracks. somewhere between here & there or wherever i’m...

REASONS TO LIVE IN SF
if you’ve never seen a man w/hooks instead of hands going through garbage in the early morning, in the winter rain, in only short shorts from the seventies… what stories will you tell your grandchildren?
“oh let me tell you, oprah dear… we loved that american’s next top model television program. yes, we were quite a generation.”
