a little less than an hour ago i was at the grocery store for a few necessities.  the lines at the checkout counters were long.  the wait wasn't so bad.  instead of scanning the celebrity rags i did a little people watching.  it was easy.  because nearly everyone near me had their heads down staring at their phones.  it was a tableaux vivant of digital cultures.  this is not a material world, by the grace of madonna, anymore.  it is an etherized world of algorithms and binary codes.  it's a digital world.

one must adapt.  right.

let me add the news that a poem by me and lars palm is up and published at william allegrezza's journal moss trill.  nine bows to my partner lars for his brilliant poetry and mr. allegrezza for accepting our work.

and dig this video of my brother in rhyme jonathan hayes reading two poems, one of which has a familiar name in the title.
