Good evening, daddy
I know you’ve heard
The boogie-woogie rumble
Of a dream deferred
Trilling the treble
And twining the bass
Into midnight ruffles
Of cat-gut lace.

                           --Langston Hughes
                            "Boogie: 1 a.m."

what makes you feel most fiercely alive?

i have been known to
....rearrange all the chairs
....help people pass through the parted seas
....actually move my body
....make fire fall from heaven
....bang loudly on anything percussive

the stage. the scene. the breath. the machine.
the dance. the play. the haiku. the way.
the love. the dare. the ways i don't care.
the spaceship. I TRY. the monkey (don't die!)
the sex. the socks. the music when it rocks.
the ink. the pen. the wonder of when.
the letter. the lighter. the broken typewriter.
the chant. the song.
again, all day long.

marvelous thanks for an oversized air france plane from prospero-- do identify yourself, tempest!

then again, it may be from sendsomething.net....
