most of all

most of all

via Tom Robbins' Still Life with Woodpecker:

"Yes, and I love the trite mythos of the outlaw. I love the self-conscious romanticism of the outlaw. I love the black wardrobe of the outlaw. I love the fey smile of the outlaw. I love the tequila of the outlaw and the beans of the outlaw. I love the way respectable men sneer and say 'outlaw.' I love the way young women palpitate and say 'outlaw.' The outlaw boat sails against the flow, and I love it. Outlaws toilet where badgers toilet, and I love it. All outlaws are photogenic, and I love that. 'When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free': that's a graffito seen in Anacortes, and I love that. There are outlaw maps that lead to outlaw treasures, and I love those maps especially. 
Unwilling to wait for mankind to improve, the outlaw lives as if that day were here, and I love that most of all."

Neighbors Barbecue






















how to be a poet
says to let words come out of silence

so the fleas are flying out from nowhere
so I'll ignore it and it doesn't bother me

play some eighties music around the fire
after a barbecue dinner off highway 70

on a warm evening of dry lightning
sugar pine cones drop like bocce balls

bitten off by Douglas squirrels
our shoulders safe for now

Big Idea

BIG IDEA Bahay Kubo 'Little Hut'

It's been a longtime dream of my friend, Aileen, to set up a "little hut," a place to practice culturally rooted gardening and cooking with Filipino-American youth. Once a vision, it's now materializing as an official, first place Big Idea. "Tradition is invented."

Under Tables

Lying down on the     carpet
The smell of                 wood
Remembering
                                       childhood
