Waking up this morning from barely sleeping, a little here, a little there; the overrated nature of sleep is well known but not well appreciated.
I read in Theater Undergrounds blog (look for link to left) that my pleading to be included on their page of local sensitive artist types has worked so well that I've been invited to place some of my words there. Obviously a bit pink in the cheeks and thankful at this I will comply with said request. and gladly.
british war advert advising the best thing to do while the bombs are falling around your head. While this has nothing to do with the above or below I've been dying to post it as the advice is sound. No sense in losing your head while others are literally losing theirs all around you.
and so I sit,
in front of you with nothing else
and so I sit.
dawn.
on a bench drawn with broken pen.
tapping with my fingers through
the rain of last night.
October weather warm,
boots sole cleaned from
wet sidewalk walking.
and so I sit,
in front of you
with nothing else.

hold,
have a weekend. - J.

Keep calm
what I felt it was all about:
advert,
largely ignored genius,
published,
sleep

ReplyDeletesitting with nothing is a very respectable way to sit, i think.
