Where ideas happen: a documentary of small moments





In the slight slender seconds of pause
when the tea is hot and the quiet is steady,
or at the stoplight, waiting to cross the street
beside a billboard, and then the galaxy of staples
are all invitation I need
to linger, to take a picture, to look and then look again.
It happens in the washroom at the little vegetarian cafe, where the picture of Bukowski, likely piss drunk, is a lurching reminder as I dry my hands to be irreverent and bold with what I know; in the same way that the ink-spattered sink promises that being in the midst of the mess is the best if not only way to find the truth.
And it happens always, in the cafe, a frothy cappuccino its own evidence of creative collisions and circumstances that invite recollection or collection; And also always staring out my office window at the sky, where the moon, white and round, offers endless chances to describe its pale face anew, and so I do.
// An invitation: Tell me your way of talking about the moon without talking about the moon at all. (I love the way you think.)
