Portrait of of an old gay man

  Lynda and I went to the new LBGTQ museum for lack of a better word. It's cool but there's vast room for expansion. I talked to Em (they/them - I thought I almost called her she, Lynda says I did). .. told her I walked these streets for 50 years and I have 14 journals plus to prove it. I think they need to focus on memoirs ... would be willing to help curate. If they would be interested, I'd leave them my gay pride show from '95,  my Keepsakes series and millions of words - 16 sketch books full and a doc that's currently 721 pages.  It'a a plan. We shall c.

Dog almost gone it

MOMA is one of the few perfect city places. Peerless art, beautiful young Japanese people with beautiful dark Japanese hair and beautiful glabrous Japanese skin and cool clothes.   They have a huge Joan Jonas show - one of the first downtown performance artists - pre Laurie Andersen - which is more than pretty pre. The pooch here is hers. She loves him dearly. Once when Bob M and I went to her loft to tape her for thirteen sometimes in the 80s … three seconds after I entered her place … I accidentally brushed up against a standing blackboard that contained a drawing of her 4 legged mutt lover. Close call.   I walked home thru sundowning Times Square and marveled at the angles and humankind hum buzzing with everything going full blast environment. Later that night, tears came when I recalled opening a store door for a very brave woman in a wheelchair - imagining her trials and the courage required to overcome them and all the people that do the same.

  Saturday … the two things I miss the most -  the breeze/wind thru rooms, livening everything and everyone.   And saying hello/greeting everyone you pass - easy short, may be superficial exchange but it does something to you inside, especially in your mind. nice. miss.

adieu

  Hello Perry family -   This is my fifth full June out here - many changes even in that time. Covid and post … and fashion - the boys wear speedos now - but still and always - scores of close encounters of the lovely kind. All kinds of big blues and yellows and friendliness and long sun days - but the time seems short. I love your fathers ceramics/pottery. So good and personal and warm. Thank you for the loan. Lets do it again as the world grows harsher but this place stays modest and beautiful.

5 peppers 1 shoe

  final Thursday … a wild, loud downpour at two in the morning last night. Got up and ate a chicken thigh and apple sauce. the dream again - dark somewhere in Brooklyn and I am in need of refuge. Brian heard my yelling and screaming and then, before he decided to get up - I stopped.   this shoe has been alone at the top of the stairs to the beach for half of my stay. one shoe lost? there must be a story there. The Philly Dads and their brood of tiny kinds like itchy crows made me think of a book we had when we were young .  THE FIVE LITTLE PEPPERS AND HOW THEY GREW UP.    I was kinda proud that we beat them by one - six of us kids - moving along and getting taller with better vocabularies.   watched Baby Reindeer - good
