Open

    I take a five minute walk to buy wine. I pass a guy walking his dog in 99 degree heat. For some reason - something in that sight - brings to mind a beautiful Asian reporter at the Newshour.   She wears expensive clothes  and walks in a determined clip. We stand next to each on line in the station cafereria. She is served mysterey meat, potatoes and string beans. I say to her - I always wondered if those were real or instant. She scoops a spoonful of potato and says "open." I taste it and say, real . She nods and says now we know . I walk into the wine store and when I take out my wallet to pay, I notice one of my two credit cards is missing. As I cross the street, I wonder if I lost it when  from behind me ... sir, sir.   A guy from the store waves a  my card , I say to him, the best, the best. I go home and find the other card in a pair of shorts in the laundry. fascinating, huh?
an all tech all the way bad day. at first. hate them but did get my phone and mac and tv fixed. but had to go thru that tunnel of trouble ... that boulder that sits tight until is doesn't in most endeavors. you doubt yourself, you go way too far, it gets way more complicted than it needs to be. that fuckin house icon vs the rectangle with the arrow piercing it on the remote.  Samsung - get thee to different..  oh and btw ... if you're a billionare and you get married at Madison Square Garden  - you are officialy baned for life from the Cool Artist Club.  God Almighty Fuckin' gggggeeeeeezzzz. never underwhelms.

Sew eyes sez 2 'em

  M entioned this in passing the other day. everyone looks very tasty on Village streets in this just hatched july. the streets look more movie well lit for some reason. most everyone is fit. they wait in line, blocks and blocks of them, for Greek yogurt. blocks long. 77% of everyone is 28. the boys are not tall, they care about their hair and clothes and show off what their trainer plots for them. babies are more cute than usual. people look better when they're trying to impress. no dirty nails, no frayed collars. girls hang out in 3s and 7s or 17s. they don't seem to care about the boys. and the gay boys with their clothes so tight out in the neon night know they may get lucky so they try to look happy if they're not. talked with two out of towners about how expensive everyone is  and we compared walking to school in the snow stories. I made a dozen somethings in June - paintings, photos, collages, writing - it's like I am chaneling him since he don't be doing tha...

Early Gary setting up his two chairs and small wooden table. the birds sing along to Barbers Adagio for Strings.  the old determined woman stomps in the sand & takes in the shifting beauty. the tall nude balls and chains with their broad shoulders and bad tats and beautiful wind up brood of energizer bunny shorties.  Fab Barbie John  is like a great 60s TV next door neighbor. My new story  My Abuela and the Bully, wine, late day light, grilled dinner, ice cream, laughter, talk, book, bed.
