On a late night
Call u up
When it feels
Like life’s
So rough
Even when
I’m in my cups
You never
Treat me
Tough

Y2K
So ended
Got crooks
In the chaos
So bended
I put love
In a grave
So cemented
Now I’m back
With a
Vengeance

Slipping

Altar
So I give them
New religion

I’m on an
Empty street
I thought
I heard
A creep
I feel
The silent heat
I’m caught in
The fantasy

For @phoenixnewtimes.com I spoke with Arizona artist Antoinette Cauley on her James Baldwin mural in the Phoenix city skyline & his quote “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

For @phoenixnewtimes.com I wrote about cosmic art, earthly longing, terraforming planets & the otherworldly desert landscape in a David Bowie inspired exhibition “Life On Mars”

While I’m waiting
I feel that
Thunder
Got a feeling
I’m going
Under
But I swear
I’d tear this world
Asunder
Just to be again
Your
Star of
Wonder

Hit the river
& we’re faded
Cross the bridge
To Brooklyn
Got us feeling
Like we made it
Bittersweet
On these streets
Tonight
Summertime skies
They don’t see it
With my eyes
All these
Scene kids
Forgot about the
Drivebys
