Response

It's in
the lanugo
soft contour
radiating
the power
of being
light
meeting
in the
middle

There's no
one left
to forget
what we
used
to know

Hearing
you say
holding
him

It's in
the way
it bursts
black sheen
joyful
presence
the weight
of a loss
no one
knows

As the
day grows
dim
holding
him
holding
him

I can touch

Reach
deep
plucks
the string
eternal

Taking
pictures
capturing
he swears
you hear

Sometimes
I can touch

Sometimes
I can touch

Untitled by C.Zurzolo

Seated on the color purple
in contested terrain
Where untold delights await at inspiring prices.

This all strikes me as funny,
writing about, racism, hegemony and power structures
As I sip the brew of world domination

And in she strolls
my mirror, my image just 20 years from today
with the same stoutness of hips that I see creeping into my reflection.
Shared jokes with men half her age,
Lubricated conversations as she plans
Trips to the cottage after MTC tickets
With all afternoon to walk and talk
I want to ask her if she is happy.

To see the startled expression on her face
As she fields a call from her husband
Checking in

As I check out of my life
On a trip, for a moment
I luxuriate in my own sweat
“Where are you”
“I’m running away from home”

But
He deserves the rest (from the 50 hours of free time in his weekly schedule)
While in his meek confession of this I note
my time
Must be used with such efficiency
That circus music plays as I move
The balls floating in the air
By sheer force of will.

Try

what succumbs

lithe muscles

what foretells
the lily-

blessing

the moon's
gypsy
turns

finding

Facing west.

Rainy Portage #2

Facing east.

macro? micro?


anyone seen the macro-scopic creator of this work in its original un-photoshopped condition, tell him to get in touch w/ us. (hint: it used to be a vacuum.)

there he went...


...shuffling off into the ottawa summer predusk, ol' knack, who'd come all this way for really no reason other than to see us--eyes, fixed on the sidewalk ahead. Bent to it again. Gone.

--paraphrasing of some good ol' Kerouac

GreenRoom

that was your little warning
as the earth spoke it
that's just part of the revolution
you said holding back
negotiating with him
wondering what was
bringing the attack
and he didn't like
the fact that the vacuum
became something else

Cry

Mood
swings
fractionated
into
spin

For
protection:

Love

So loud
the word
gathering
sound

Cry

For
protection:

Love

Broken

Love

active
absolutely

We're
broken

Drift
clouds
through
weight
living
in

We're
broken

Transcending the Word


Nothing, originally uploaded by The Stranger.

The higher state is that which is unlearned.

Logic is burned in the blaze of nothing
of everything.

What has the crow ever said but nothing?

Are you greater than the crow?


The Knackerson Express readys itself for a trip to Toronto today to visit the good doctor and El Macro. All aboard who's coming aboard!

Here s my camera, my kitty, and I.

Mars is very very close to us now and I feel we re on the brink of something. This Halloween weekend will be significant.

Be alert, sobre, ready. But fluid.

We are not alone



facing west #1


yeesh.

facing west #2


can you believe this? this image is 100% undoctored, cuz this is really what it looked like.

facing east

My Tyrannosaurus Pecks

Always uncertain, but never in doubt
I think of Auster, and his post modern gaze
Running blindly into things with my head held high
Banana hand shots, men and women unite to the task
Genderful communities working hand in hand
The Spanish government try to hide their chocolate I understand
While my German sausage lusts after the mustard, sweet, brown and smokey.
I'm conquering windmills like an ignorant brute
Filled with Elliot's melancholy, and forever a student of history
I write this on a snowy, blustery day, while running behind
Do I have anything else that will work?
A stack of photographs teeters, ready for me to re-render the world.

Untitled 5

Born
of flesh
and fruity
loops
it tears
apart
never
the
heaven
of the
heart

Untitled 33

the mass
moved
protecting
all they knew
they had:
a next step
returning
forgotten
but always
felt deep
of touch
that rises
from the
hunger

Untitled 24

strange
loves
the beat
one two
folded
into three
not added
and multiplied
giving into
sin

when you
think
you've
had enough
it'll all
be worth
the gift
and taste's
again
and again
