the chronicle of a life foretold

your ex-lover is dead [stars]
remedy [j. mraz, acoustic]
good love is on the way [j. mayer]

madison, briefly.
sentry, for old times' sake. autumn on east j. americanos on the capitol with girls from the beginning. still running into artists and thieves and undercover lovers. attempting to remember what it was like not to know every inch, and failing miserably. the fancy pinkus. accidentally driving to middleton and knowing where i was all the same. spotted cow.

a visit to the chi-burbs & michigan avenue.

tollroads. rain, and coral & gold & clementine, and reading the onion. five years. paint wars in the new house. crate & barrel, carol (and the wild things), cold weather blues. to the train! a gonzo journalist infusion and (more) dreams about cats in the cradle jumping over[under] the [full]moon. an exit. adieu.

the corolla and i go way back.
into the city and out the other side. over the bridge, or how the interstate hwy made me surrender my seed money. i like pennsylvania. i hate pennsylvania (really only in the dark). the 70E debacle and the miracle entrance into maryland. and then

coming out of the woods
and onto the mall
to see the
washington monument lit up like a beacon which has been saying all along,
"there you are.
we knew you'd get here
someday.
we've been waiting.
breathe."
a museum or six,
and a wrought-iron gate.

brooklyn & the Q.
blue moon.
i'm in the city again and the streets eat me up (they love me so), while the fog hovers and hopes around the chrysler and everyone we've ever been has come forward in the rain to see through THESE NEW EYES.
new days.
everyday.


all of that, and ice cream for dinner.
