sound track


the savage god
and sylvia plath and ted hughes
the power flowed between them like water poured from one vessel into another.

two steps back today
going to shut my eyes
and dream and wake up from the dream
and not remember if I was dreaming or not

kerouac waking up in that cheap clean railroad hotel and not remembering his name
happened to me once, not a bad feeling, I knew it would all come back to me but I was enjoying the moment of not knowing my name. Who am if not a name and social security number. If the dark sea within is full of whiskey
I am going in to dive deep
into that sleep that comes before we shuffle off to Buffalo
sleep such a dull word
for such an interesting phenomenon.

I will probably regret this post
Regret is kind of a religious thing for me,a Quaker, jew,Buddhist thing
I am grateful for my regret
Dino blessed be his memory
I never met him, I never met Miles Davis either
but they shed their light on me

Whenever I find myself trying to text while driving a thought always slams into consciousness, "You don't need no more regrets!"

“I taught you incorrectly,” he began. “For some time now I’ve been reflecting seriously on my thoughts, words and actions. I’m realizing that I am not acting out of love. The trigger for me to be judgmental and even mean is when I meet someone who has different beliefs. I start to think they are wrong [and] their ideas are stupid or harmful to my way of life. … For now I am thinking and feeling that it’s very important for me to be more aware and much more cautious with the things I say and do.”
