I just finished F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night and the only note written in it by a previous owner was made around 200 pages into the book. The line reads, "Good-bye my father, good-bye all my fathers." Next to which is scribbled good insight . Please misinterpret this photo of my father(s) as necessary.

Night On The Island

2010-12-22T18:33:00.005-05:00

All night I have slept with you

next to the sea, on the island.

Wild and sweet you were between pleasure an d sleep,

between fire and water.

Perhaps very late

our dreams joined

at the top or at the bottom,

Up above like branches moved by a common wind,

down below like red roots that touch.

Perhaps your dream

drifted from mine

and through the dark sea

was seeking me

as before,

when you did not yet exist,

when without sighting you

I sailed by your side,

and your eyes so ught

what now–

bread, wine, love, and anger–

I heap upon you

because you are the cup

that was waiting for the gifts of my life.

I have slept w ith you

all night long while

the dark earth spins

with the living and the dead,

and on waking sud denly

in the midst of the shadow

my arm encircled your waist.

Neither night nor sleep

could separate us.

I have slept with you

and on waking, your mouth,

come from your dream,

gave me the taste of earth,

of sea water, of seaweed,

of the depths of your life,

and I received your kiss

moistened by the dawn

as if it came to m e

from the sea that surrounds u s.

Before living on a couch in a living room I lived in a room without a couch.

Maybe there were two rooms, but still there was no couch. While I lived there I took pictures.

One day a house got weather proofed from Obama's gold money.

I took pictures.

Now I wish my couch was weather proofed.

Weather is just the proof to my couch now.

A friend once gave me his dad's old 8 track player for me to put into my car. We were in high school and it was my first car. A dark green 1973 Monte Carlo with a vinyl roof. With the pull of a lever the seats swiveled around. The back seat was plenty big enough for two high schoolers but I never had the opportunity. I smoked my first soft pack of Marlboros in that car with that same friend. The 8 track player never got installed and my friend and I no longer speak to each other. Since then I've had countless friends and two cars. The only thing I have in the backseat of my car now is a copy of The Hobbit and a blanket. Honestly, neither have been used for their intended purposes.

We try most of our lives to gain recognition for the things we do. Most of what we did, though, we will come to realize were just simple cases of a carrot on a string in front of the mule. If you are a poet people will think highly of you when you finally admit this defeat. If you are a photographer however, people will simply ask, "Is that a picture of pomegranate juice on your blog?"

And then you realize life is actually just a road trip to a mid nineties indie band concert. You're not sold on the concert, but maybe, just maybe, you will convince your boss to buy that hip hop album the next day at the record store. And maybe, just maybe, he will. Then everyone will stop calling you crazy.

Let them eat your intestines and bathe in your stomach acid.
