Clark Park


No landmark in West Philly like Clark Park for creating down-home ambience. 






Stark


 The vibe we carried around with us was a Live Forever one, much of the time. 






Starlight in West Philadelphia


So: the Mary years, 2001-2003 and then 2007, sandwich Henniker, 2005. They were spent shuttling back and forth between Logan Square and West Philadelphia.






Henniker


California tumbles into the sea: that'll be the day I go back to Henniker. Tried to warn you, about Gerry and Ann-Marie...except, not. As an extremely interesting locale in the mid-Aughts, alive with the right kind of ferment & mischief (possible seat of revolutions), Henniker, New Hampshire was exemplary. 






The preponderance of 2005?


And back to this again, from 2025. 2005 was huge with Ms. H-B, and also Ms. W-G

Montreal Ekphrastic Wrap-around: 2001-2007


 

EX

mimesis of no-détente

(m)oral play of difference
I follow breath to be

as a blue painted vase
El Greco-sepia room

crossed corrugated lips

regrets of rinsed locusts
you “just knew” this

would happen, as you

“just knew” it’d happen
when you painted me

Derrida's "Dead"

 So I
  spy Abby
     come in
       dressed for

        sex hair
     bleached bra
  non-strapped
if she strips

for me I'll
 be happy
   to be
     "around" her

     but she has
   no ideas but
  in things,
hard to be

hard, hard
    to be
       hard
