Throw back those heavy damask curtains,
rip down your awful venetian blinds and
unlatch your windows. The night is warm
and full of birdsong and neighborhood
sounds. Pull out all your boxes of treasure
and light candles, and see what you might
find. That’s what I’ve been doing lately, and
it’s resulted in a giant mess – but I’m greatly
inspired by what I’ve been finding. Summer
evenings are full of deep breathings, insects
calling to each other, yelling and fireworks
and ice-cream trucks. Is that what you hear, too?

This photo is in the bathroom stall at a Mexican restaurant
I frequent. I need to make myself one like this. Plumes + stars!

I love how much happier and natural she looks in boy drag.

Who was she? Her royal witchness. Look at those plaits!

Anyone know where these Sphinxes are, or if they
still exist? ‘Til the sphinx winks, she said. Questions
for the Southern Oracles, eh? I have some too.

“By the Sad Sea Waves, Sam found a chicken!”

This kitty toy was found in Rome by Mr. Bruce Lee Webb,
of Waxahachie, Texas. I could play with it endlessly, but
really oughtn’t as it’s quite old, and for sale. I made a video
instead, so I could enjoy it always. Next best thing!
