so hangs the hour like fruit fullblown and sweet,
our strict and desperate avatar,
despite that antique westward gulls lament
over enormous waters which retreat
weary unto the white and sensual star.
accept these images for what they are--
out of the past a fragile element
of substance into accident.
i would speak honestly and of a full heart;
i would speak surely for the tale is short,
and the soul's remorseless catalogue
assumes its quick and piteous sum.
think you, hungry is the city in the fog
where now the darkened piles resume
their framed and frozen prayer
articulate and shafted in the stone
against the void and absolute air.
if so the frantic breath could be forgiven,
and the deep blood subdued before it is gone
in a savage paternoster to the stone,
then might we all be shriven.

last night while you were sitting there with your pants down, we were having our ears destroyed by the unsane. yes they rocked, and yes you should be jealous and sorry you didn't go.
a socialogical observation: there was a gaggle of the rocker chix at said concert last night - chix that the missus had introduced me to on several occasions. but i never feel comfortable just going up and saying hello without said missus. i feel like i'd be perceived as some sort of dirty old man. or worse yet, like donnie brasco w/o al pacino there to vouch for me. it's a weird tribe, these rocker people. i portend to be one, but it's questionable as to whether or not i've actually pulled it off.
i think i've made a new man friend. this is rare. chaps in nyc rarely get chummy unless there is promise of pussy or cash on the other side of the new rooster. in this case, said fellow is hitched, has probably one of THE coolest old ladies and coolest kids ever. and his kid has an outstanding thomas the train collection, which is always a plus. anyway, all this doesn't mean this fellow isn't in it for the pussy or the cash, but he did tour with the jesus lizard, so that cancels out any of my cares.
there is word on the street that black label is having their shopping cart iditerod today. if you live in or near nyc, you know what to do.

Lucky you. I don't think I'll be back over until the end of the season. I should be back in time for the FA cup final though. Hopefully I'll be able to bag a season ticket for next season.
