1. Commute

    “This is the sound of first class”

    steel against steel

    faster than the last invention

    slower and slower than the next

    Passing varying greens and golds—

    dead to those who see 

    what they want to see

    Gazes drowning in the circuit

    en route to the next of nowheres

  2. What is real: neither past nor future. Or, for Seneca, “While we wait for life, life passes.”

  5. The SFMOMA Blue Bottle team serves ‘Rothko toast’ at the SFMOMA Rooftop Sculpture Garden. Sounds like the best idea ever to me.

  7. 5-minute poem

    in a moment –  

    the cool breeze,

    the passive sway of palms,

    low hums rising to symphonies,

    floating belly-up,

    binding the heart to the sky,

    the known and practiced joys,

    the prick of an afternoon beer,

    (despondence but a distant untruth,)

    a cheerful readiness,

    sand on salty skin

    – the gorgeous happening of life.
