the sun,
with all those planets
revolving around it and dependent on it,
can still ripen a bunch of grapes
as if it had nothing else
in the universe to do.

galileo

If there are no negative reactions to your art, you are making something that isn't at all interesting.
-T. Campbell

the eager winter
...fall resists
the rain that's streaming off these steps
havoc for the thoughts i'm having

when the last leaf calls
with the the first snowfall
i'll have nothing to do with all of this

the wind still whistling in my ear
a rumour i refuse to hear
i'll never go home

it's biting
i'm fighting my way down these damp stairs
