tuesday 6/24
Mom would be 107 today.
Day began very well. Greeted the lovely young lez with the good haircut and her pooch with the runway saunter. I say pooch looks happy and her owner says oh, yeah, he’s bustin. I collect shells for my new art attempt … faces … we’ll see.
Big tall taller hubba hubba dad walks naked to the shorline with his fishing pole and walks right back up my walkway as if he forgot bait or had a bad premonition bout one of this 3 shorties.
Last nite I went for a sunset beer at Cherrys and felt the sun inside my face. As I snapped the gate latch I ran into lower to the ground younger dad in his speedo and his big silly chest tattoo … Hughie. wow is all I say. still. He’s very dreamy in a bursting with youth kind of way. he’s maybe 27,28. I am careful to calibrate my scans of his body with when he turns his face to one side and looks off. Thats when I drink in his drench. later, back at the bar, watching the boys bounce round on the dock, again, I have a deep sense of cherophobia. I close my eyes and try not to think about it.
West Village in the Wild Wild West 1970s
Bars all round
Pier 45
Colt models swarmed
Village people sang
Bankrupt city
Bronx burned
Son of Sam
Looting riots
Cumo vs Koch
Vote for Cuomo not the Homo
Piers falling into the Hudson
West side highway collapsed
Boot n Saddles
aka Bras & Girdles
Ex cop submachine gunned the Ramrod
the night after the night I was there
Cavernous warehouses
Bodies fished out of the river
Meatpacking streets
Hooked carcasses
Blood in the streets
Mineshaft
No sign
Lots of don’ts dress code
Jagger and Nureyev turned away
O what days
OMG … I spotted the Cherry Grove Unicorn …
Just cleaned up my fotos - 33 made the cut.
I love being/getting closer to my body here. Sun to flesh. The short dad is getting bronzer. Noonday sun bleaches his square shoulders white. His 3 little kids are brilliant on the sand. cartwheeling, jumping, ninja fighting, digging, bouncing, break dancing. O what a beautiful 2025 American family.
