now

so much, so much, so much
how do i balance now against the rush of
true freedom,
if they are not ready for it
and i don’t want it until…

because I want them more than freedom
and i see how they do too
it’s their family, their friends, their life
they are the ones who will feel their blood
trickling down their face
instead of some money gone
if they prepared
their desperate fight fills me with hope
even though their fight is as useless as mine
but that is exactly what brings us so close
and i know their desire is the same as mine:
peace
a moment to lay in bed
a moment to kiss the girl they want
a moment to be and not worry, except about stupid shit
a moment of thoughtlessness,
this truth we hold to be self evident.

follow friday is stupid

I don’t care who you are following. If I wanted to know, I would check your followers and see who looked cool. Or, I’d check wefollow to see who is relevant to what I want to know about. I say, #fuckfollowfriday. How about Fellatio Friday? Fornication Friday? Fermentation Friday? All of these are much better options.

he knows i was born under a bad sign
because of her
and i know he knows i’ll hold it down,
pull though
because of his guidance
he knows
i’ll keep on through the pains
i’ve got his discipline
but i have the same attraction
i’ll fall prey to the same hunter
but i’ll be reborn unlike him
because i’ve chosen to see
or i’ve been gifted with his curse
enough to realize
when to say
fuck you

Cézanne and Beyond

Saturday morning I went to the Cézanne and Beyond exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Yesterday was the last day, way to go for procrastination. We arrived at 11am and didn’t wait in the lame line, which was excellent. In the future I will go all will call for my museum exhibits.

I’m not super knowledgeable about the art world but I certainly enjoy art. For this reason I appreciated the comparisons of  Cézanne’s work with contemporary pieces from other artists, I really felt it helped illustrate his unique view. The subject matter covered in most of the pieces was boring (still lifes of fruit, bathers) but I was blown away by the techniques used.

I really enjoyed Cézanne’s work before he started to move towards cubism. It was as  though he looked at normal and boring subjects but he made them overflow with his personal style. His pieces weren’t abstract yet they spoke as more than the simple bowl of fruit used as the model.

This exhibit also introduced me to Jasper Johns who I’ve been aware of but never really exposed to. Ironically  I’d have to say my favorite works were those by Matisse and Picasso which were also in the exhibit. Of note was “La Reve” sans elbow hole made by the owner, Steve Wynn.

Overall I felt the exhibit was interesting and informative, Saturday mornings are excellent for good company and impressive art.

whiskey, breasts, beer, bukowski
how i love thee
the lamp on the path
to pizza crusts and frustration
to realization of true love and futility
thank fuck for mingus chanting love
driving me towards the hope of a moment of peace amidst it all
i saw that girl and it wasn’t just work that made her scowl
all sad when you look at them
from what some fucking asshole did years ago or
yesterday probably
but i can’t break all their legs,
sorry babe
i can’t pray to god to make it all go away
really the only pathetic thing i can say
is to listen to that saxophone or drum
let it wash over you like the rain
try to forget just like me
all the pain and knives
forget the police and the bracelets
forget the guilt
just have a drink
try to escape the loneliness made all the more real
by all these empty bodies
pretty, drunk, vapid,
fucking when i’m sitting here writing this
