dusty
crawling through imagination
through the dusty attics of thought
ideas perfectly good, tucked away
dreams now out of fashion
waiting silently to be employed
as the cycle nears its completion
and everything is new again

Did Stuff
Weekend the last Karla and Sarah came up from Jersey and Pennsy, respectively, to drag me out of the apartment and visit museums. We ended up not going to a second one, but we did have a trip to the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art), where I saw my most favorite painting of all time, Vincent van Gogh’s “Starry Night”. I took 4 pictures of just that. It was funny; there was a guard that was there just for that painting. That’s some respect, there, I’ll tell you what. My oldest friend Martin also dropped by on Saturday — a busy day. The girls and I also went to see Avatar, me for the 4th time, they for the first. Fun was to be had by all. The weekend seemed especially long, perhaps because I did so much that Saturday, where as the song said, the morning lasted all day (all day). So anyway, excelsior.

free
time withdraws for a non-moment
and everything happens all at once
left only with a sense of wonder to organize anything
everything you learned in dreams suddenly relevant
snap, and everything is real again
suddenly to find you now are free

I Get Up
Gotten some news recently. First, but not most important, I’m going to have to pay $12,000 in taxes this year. Holy crap on a stick. There’s no way I can afford to pay all of it all at once, so there’s going to be interest and penalties. Then, when I visited my parents last weekend, I found out that my dad most probably suffered a mild stroke just recently. Even before my mom was telling me about it, I could tell he seemed a little off. He talked my mom out of taking him to the hospital, and I get the idea that he didn’t explain it to his doctor, because the doc didn’t give him anything. I convinced him to go see his doctor again. The brother freaked out when I told him about it; he really must learn to keep his cool a bit better. But as I told him, it could have been worse. We’ll see what comes of all this.
In other news, I know Eun Hye is still alive. I saw her login to MSN messenger and then just as abruptly log out. I wonder what she was doing that this should appear to me so. I have written in my Facebook status that I have almost all the pieces of the puzzle. She is the only missing element. I have put it all in the hands of God, the whole matter. And I know that it is soon to happen, but to the Man Upstairs, “soon to happen” can mean 4 to thousands of years. All I can do right now is be patient and trust. For in me I know all it breaks down to is a test of faith: the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The only thing I’m curious about is just in what way this all will happen. For life unfolds in sometimes awkward, sometimes wonderful patterns. And sometimes it is all you need do to sit back and watch it all come to pass, however much you think you can predict how things will go down.
In still other news, I haven’t had coffee since the day before Ash Wednesday. So far, so good. I haven’t really craved it yet, since I am still on the intake as far as caffeine goes. I have a Bawls soda drink when I wake up (I ordered case of it from ThinkGeek) and drink tea otherwise, when the mood hits me to get buzzed on that legal stimulant. Since I’ve ratcheted down my own research, it proves to be not that much a problem right now. I think the timing is, if not perfect, rather ideal. And what else? I’m coming up to writing the climax of my short story about AI (go to palad1n.com, above right, to see what I’ve written so far). And I don’t know right now if my poetry is getting better or worse or just different. I’ve always wanted to get to the third level, the first being emotive, the second being intricate, the third being simple. In order of increasing beauty. This may be the direction I’m heading, or else I’m regressing. But anyway, most things humming along.
In which I get knocked down, but I get up again, yeah you’re never going to keep me down.
