A Poem About Intentional Mowing

Flower Islands

White dots, blue spots, bright yellow stars

Pink  globes the size of hamster eggs

float in tangled rafts

on the calm surface of the newly cut lawn.


This is poem #1 of the 101 in a 1001 days, only 100 to go.

A Quantam for the Mechanics

quantum 004

This old German mule is off to the junk yard. It has sputtered and wheezed its way through the last 2 years, held together with duck tape, spit and prayers. In the ice and snow of December it finally refused to start and has sat molding under the trees through the spring. Hopefully someone will come and take it away and pick its bones for useful parts and melt down the rest. I can’t worry about it, only remember that it was useful and helped me get places and carry things. Now those times are done, and someone else must decide how to make it useful in some way a mechanic can only think of. I am not a mechanic and can see no future for this rolling conglomeration of German metal.

101 in 1001

Self-Experiment #?

I have been inspired by fellow blogger  Three World Chant to create a list of 101 things I will accomplish in 1001 days. I have posted the list on a separate page here. I have been so inspired I started immediately working on the list before it was even finished.

Yesterday I walked a mile and a half at a place I had never been before and took 16 pictures some of which are below. I also got my bike out and started fixing it up and today I got a helmet. I put my car on Craigslist and wrote in my journal. I am still diligently reading 2666 by Robert Bolano which is so intreaguing in a very wierd way, but, also, so very long. I am half way through it. I hope I can finish before it is due at the library. I have another week off to tackle other things on the list. I worked on my novel for 5 hours the other day and will do more tonight. I am off now to clean out my moldy car so I can have people look at it on Sunday. So much time and so little to do. Wait strike that. Reverse it. Pictures from the sculpture garden tucked away in the middle of  a foresty part of a park in the middle of a nice little neighborhood in the middle of our charming little city.

Boiler Works Building

I am interested in the way human constructions interact with natural structures and non-human animals.

A raccoon family camped out in this building for a while.

Today many people bustled around inside doing whatever they do in a boiler works, while  the sun, water, air, and plants continued their work on the outside.
