Happy 14th birthday to Miss Brown! It’s kind of a big deal for a Boxer to live this long.

5 x 6 3/8 inches
Upon a silver lake
Upon a wider sea
The same round moon above
Looks down on you and me.

collage
5 x 6 3/8 inches
The flower, the bird,
the brook, and the tree,
all in fancy witching dream
shone in the glimmering
moon’s pale beam
Lysol Ad
From True Experience, July 1934
I’ve seen various ads for Lysol, recommending it as a douche. I didn’t realize I actually owned one, though, so I thought I’d scan it and upload it to Flickr. Please file under “Things Not To Do.”‘
Rain
I decided that the middle of a torrential downpour was the time to go shopping. I waited in my car, in the parking lot, for a few minutes, until the worst had passed. The rain sheeting across the windows distorted the world around me.

So I brought it down, cobwebs and all,
Placed with care in the ancient hall,
The open sky and northern star
R
collage
5 x 6 3/8 inches
Returning and crossing their paths again,
fading now from mortal ken,
we reach the point where the quest began.
Q
collage
5 x 6 3/8 inches
Quaintly set
in antique frame
A sheltered spot
Where we can dream
P
collage
5 x 6 3/8 inches
Perhaps he ploughed this pathless sea
To navigate eternally
A leaf that flutters in the breeze
O
collage
5 x 6 3/8 inches
O Hope,
that bird
of golden wing
real
amid the things that seem
true
and stranger than a dream.
Happy 182 birthday to Eadweard Muybridge!
