Break

Carrot cake

Coffee with cream

Lilacs in a jar

This might not be a free lunch

But it’s as close

As you or I can get away from yesterday

From all those other memories

Going

Still going

Craft

Mind concentrations sat aloft the stand

Obsessions foraged from the land

A thousand seed reductions are given to the need

The Million Dollar Collar by-passes inner greed

Available at Amazon

A million dollar collar

Safety pins and tweezers

The parachutes of artichoke seed heads

If ever one thing confirmed the beauty of art and craft

If ever one exposition showed the complement of art and craft

If ever doubt was mistaken in the search for truth

If ever life for youth

Don't go there

For you are art; however here we see you

I have nothing but my memory to remind me, and those few words of yours laid neatly on the wall. What chances then for your survival, among a world of artistic competition. Would one photograph be a catastrophic difference, or is it the fear that this picture too would be overlooked. Jesûs Mari Lazkano how do I see beneath your surface, how do I get under your superficial skin? I do see the point; or rather I don't see the one point, I see many points to view, but somehow too big a thing to grasp. For certain without your explanation I would not see the layered depths that you speak of so neatly; so how do I regain you, when I have nothing, nothing but my memory to remind me.

Obscura

It is a fair measure of my dimness that I failed to see, or comprehend, or realize the nature or intent of the conspiracy. That by disallowing the use of camera or video or other photographic recording tool, the use of paper and pencil was thus restored.

Sketchpads and notebooks

Memos on the cafeteria serviette

Words being brought back to life

Thoughts spoken out loud

Just so they would

In time be remembered.

The darkness then is light

To each effect a cause

The point and shoot is replaced

Not instinctively

But to think

And then to write or draw

To think, then to write or draw

To each effect a cause
