Turbulence.

2010-03-05T07:23:00.002+08:00

In a sea of air

the metal

is too strong

not to suffer.

OMG.

"One day, my son,

all this will be

plastic."

40 or 43*.

I recognized him immediately
sitting at the coffee shop's yard he
was my teacher and now
losing his hair in the fall
looking with x-ray eyes
at the bottoms of young maidens
who pass and pass
and pass and he
40 or 43
was my teacher and now
a newspaper on the table
the ashtray the cigarettes
the keys the keys
the keys clouds floating
the young maidens pass
pass in the fall with their pretty legs
and he looks up
40 or 43
was my teacher and now
undressing the sky
with great compassion

Defense / Budget.

I grabbed life

by the throat and

it gave me a kick

in the balls.

Storming Up a Cook.

2009-04-21T21:43:00.003+08:00

Walk a mile

my shoes.

Then,

see how they smell.

All you love is need.

I have the courage
to be
anyone's hero
but mine.

Writing
lets me forget
my
self.

Sometimes,
it even lets
me
remember.

Getting Physical.

Running
is the best way
to keep your heart
~~strong~~ weak.

Money changes everything.

A mistake is like
love.

Once you pay for it,
it no longer exists.

Stroke.

When life
imitates art,
life is artificial and
art
is lifeless.

True
living
is artless.

Crowded.

Some copy,
others paraphrase.

Kids are the only ones
still
that can say anything new.

In medias res.

2008-11-20T22:22:00.002+08:00

Funny
how quickly we find the need
for a look,
touch,
any type of attention,
from someone new,
who was not there,
and was never needed.

Perhaps because they
make us feel like we found our "self" and,
quickly,
we become attached
to that "self" and need the other
to constantly reinforce it
by remaining there.

Until we find ourselves again.

Little Wing*

2008-09-29T22:21:00.002+08:00

Place me

under your wing

and be to me
a mother
and kin

your bosom will be
my head's refuge

a home
for my
lost
prayers

And
at an opportune time

between darkness
and light

reach
and i'll make
my
suffering
known

they say
there is
youth in this world

where has my youth
all
gone?

*Originally from C"N Bialik's "Place me under your wing", translated by me. The last 3 stanzas were ommited. I think it says enough as it is.

Life
is a long
massage session

in a five-star hotel
in Shanghai

You forget yourself in parts of it
in others
the pressure reminds you
how human you are

and through all this
you always
always
wish that the ending
will be happy

and if it is
it is
probably
illegal

Beijing 2008.

Driving through a lane
designated for bicycle riders,

a local taxi driver
honks
at an old lady pedaling before him.

Here I am:
lost in Beijing,
found in Tokyo.

Shift.

2008-02-09T19:26:00.000+08:00

"Is it so difficult for you to explain?",
she asked.

I am, but
once the snowflake lands
on the palm of your hand,
all you have
is a drop of water.

Reflex.

I guess,
my best feature is an ability to see beauty, and
make it visible to others.

Can, doh.

2008-02-09T19:22:00.001+08:00

Before knowing what it is,
I already know I will reach my next goal and
end up in the same spot.

So, the only challenge is
to make sure that
wherever I go,
I remain
by
your
side.

When you think about it,
life is always
elsewhere;

once you stop,
It's here.

For a while there I believed

that gravity exists.

When I looked down,
properly,
I realized,

it is just a bunch of dwarves
clasping to the tip
of
my
shoes.

Beijing Weather.

2007-12-06T16:48:00.000+08:00

Standing outside,
It's 5 below zero and the sky is Blue.

Feels like a bit
of both,
and not enough of either.

Crack.

2007-12-06T16:39:00.001+08:00

I dread the day
when I will write
about a
love of the kind
that everyone else is
looking for

she will smile to
you
from this page
and I will be
in
Peace.
