nyc is white glove
clean these days


you know
a lot of new yorkers
who lived here in the 70's / 80's
have an uncanny nostalgia
for the old filthy gotham.


i've heard a lot
of stories.


a taxi driver once
told me with light in his eyes
"it was a dirty town, man, but
the city had soul...i can't
explain it. soul baby."

reminds me of my new york.
always modest furnishings.
a furnace, a window
a chair, a desk.


and a glass of pens.

  
nyc tomorrow
places to go, people to see
i hope i haven't missed 
the first snow.

lighter layers


when will it end!
the aggressive 80's fashion
swarming the city streets
 magazines and stores.


it's been 2 years
of severe severe darkness.
leather, shoulders, spike heels
studs, ridiculous fashion editor attire
everyone looks so "affected"
well all need to chill out.






ah, but i feel a sweet feminine
revolution beginning to blossom:
nouveau french seventies romance
floral crop blouses, long skirts
patch work jeans, beige,
suede, and floppy hats
chanel sp 10





i have no desire
to look edgy.


i'm good to go with
some patched jeans and
a flower in my shirt pocket.



ps: until spring,
my winter uniform:
ali mcgraw in "a love story"
 plaid skirt with tights & pea coat
anna karina in band of outsiders
red stockings too.

the old man and the sea





tell me a "big fish" story

or some kind of
an exaggeration
of the truth

forgotten frames

growing old in the city,
or out in the country?

down in LA







...where the light
makes me feel a bit
closer to Mexico



I'm not mexican
but mexico has always been
a great comfort to me and my family.
i think it might be a california thing.


you know,
our population is
almost 50 / 50 now.


i would be down
if we all switched
to spanish.


regardless,
if you live in california
you gotta speak some spanish.
it should be a requirement.

i'm not young enough
to know everything
- oscar wilde



Plain I see you Western youths

 


We debouch upon
a newer, mightier world,
varied world.

 


For we cannot tarry here,
We must march my darlings,
We must bear the brunt of danger,

We the youthful sinewy races,
all the rest of us depend.
Pioneers! O pioneers!
