Perhaps notes on moving. + building of momentum.
i’m wondering, for someone who so very rarely sits down, how have i managed to collect so many chairs.
Getting a/head of ones self.
i have altered moments when i’m driving + do not know what coast i’m on. Or, the license plate in front of me refuses to be understood + continues to belie a foreign county.
Travel is good for the perspective, yes?
i love the act of packing up + LEAVING.
GETTING THERE + UNPACKING, not so much.
i saw Salvador Dali coming out of the laundromat. He walked past (a very pale) Bud Cort who was sitting on the curb.
Ct. Kangaroo was in the car next to me as Fidel Castro drove a Dolly Madison truck through the red light. He was eating a package of donuts that had ‘accidentally’ broke open.
Dave Van Ronk was walking his dog. Actually i see Dave a lot, so he’s not even worth the surprise of mentioning, but it's always nice.
Tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in, switch off,
switch on and explode.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I hate moving books.
ReplyDeleteWe've read that second portion before, have we not?
Jeff; I remember mentioning Burl Ives and nuns in a rambler, could have Castro too. He is a local and is seen driving in the high front seat weekly stopping at the small gas markets. One of those funny, consistent characters in my life and worth a second mention. And you have to admit that is a great name. Kind of an oxymoron on it's own.
ReplyDeletenice. like the art...i dunno. books are my friends and any reason to pick them up and flip through them...but moving yeah we have done way too much of that...tell ct. Kangaroo hi for me next time...used to watch him as a kid...smiles.
ReplyDeletei could see Castro eating those donuts and the white powder sprinkled on his OD uni...
ReplyDeleteCiao Bella, Are you moving agin, or was that just a thursday theme idea? I sometimes have that feeling of not knowing which place I am in when I wake up.... having counted up and realized I have lived in thirty different places since I left the Rodney Street parental abode...I am enjoying staying in one spot for a bit... coming up on a year now back in la belle province...
ReplyDeleteSeems like a nice bunch of people to bump into, even today.
ReplyDeletetoo bad you didnt see mr. kite too, but maybe it wasnt a very windy day
