travels with cavafy

the mind is porn
after-images
no longer tell

it is like what is
the emptiness
of the theater

a warm hand
strong shoulder
going home an idea

hotel durant
tempt-ation is lust for the uknown
--john weiners

dig the good trip man
explicit shapes of light
dappled on moss and redwoods
against an idea
of peace park
come get yr freak on
head for
telegraph ave
a hit of blotter
soundtrack provided
by an suv pounding
the grateful dead
why you dude
with the tie-dye
and thinning long grey hair
tied together
in a loose knot
look around
look good buddy
did ya think
you'd live this long
