POEMS

1.

I see the Moon
in my soup bowl
stir, stir, stir, but
it won't mix in!

2.. [From a poem collection on a mystical place called Blue Mountain]

We think there's a madman (?) that roams the mountain
and wears a blue cloak to hide in it's rocks.
that spins his edicts on cloud shaped paper
that he hands to the wind circling the world,
like a winged creature gliding down,
dropping into bottles that tip into the sea,
corked with purpose and cradled by waves.

3.

I have on my left
an open bird cage.
I have to my right
another with a bird.
I open it's door
and wait and see ...

4.

Like a veil
or a spider's web

5. [This is also a verse of lyrics to one of my short songs]

There's a man
on a bridge
looking up
watching birds
flying by
from cloud to cloud.

6. [Short story in 6 words]

The Moon
is building
a ladder!!!

SAYINGS

In science being wrong 97% of the time is great!

I don't have an art studio. I have a desk.

Go forward with the graphite, go back with the eraser.

It's important that you eat healthy; but, it's also important that you have a will to live - balance the two.

My goal is to get painting out of the ivory tower and back into the world.

The quality of music is not an opinion, it's an awareness.

i introduced my clone to my doppelganger...

[In Ballet] The sixth position is hovering!
