The Legend of Urban Fridays IV
Posted: October 31, 2014 Filed under: Words In Imaginary Motion 6 Commentsthe perfect reward after a long week of projects
an award winning performance
from the office elevator to the basement car park
no patience for later, no waiting for after dark
heat of the moment, but years in the making
something new, but no novices
in the back of the old school
maybe a yacht deck in the future
but staying in the moment…
windows misty like a scene out of the Titanic
so risky but little to no panic
luckily no camera lenses
just a focus on the romance

Pleasure In Platonia II
Posted: October 31, 2014 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... Leave a comment
A quiet stroll on the boardwalk after talks over tiramisu and irish coffee. Streaks of light fading into the summer night. Ocean waves conducted into patterns we could barely see, just as the distant moon. Shapes of scattered vessels floating amid the choirs of the gentle wind, and monuments yonder – built by generations from before – which we observed with awe, and they reminded us that we had better grasp the moment and savour all that it evoked, and so we got closer and I got lost in her.

c’mon man… can’t you see our reputation is on the line here?
STONE
I don’t see it
and frankly,
I don’t care…
CLAY
I bet you don’t
STONE (CONT’D)
I’m not budging
CLAY
where’s your sense of pride, man…
STONE
dead
CLAY (CONT’D)
your self-esteem
STONE
within
CLAY
quit playing man
just hear me out
seriously, just try to see this how I see it
there’s a lot at stake here –
STONE
no, thanks
CLAY
f*ck you then n*gga
I should’ve known better than to waste my damn time
with your sorry a*s –
you… you… you know what man?
after all these years, I’ve finally figured it out –
you.. you don’t belong here
you’ve got no sense of self left bro!
I can’t even identify with you no more
STONE
is not having a sense of self the same as
having no sense at all?
but to have character –
well, is that not more practicable?
but that’s another matter altogether brother
CLAY
hublihubla n*gga
that sh*t don’t make no sense –
eh… seriously tho…
what’chu on about?
STONE
common sense

Kingdom of Cool

counterfeiting the cool
they knew not protection
but harm

63 on the Quay
Posted: October 26, 2014 Filed under: Words In Imaginary Motion 5 Commentsafter an intimate walk on the wharf
they had a quiet talk on the terrace
and there she said:
“I stopped wishing you were my man long ago
because I know no one can ever have all of you
and now I just wish he was more like you
but I know he can never truly have me
just as I’ll never really have you but still can’t let you go”

time and talent: the cooking show
Posted: October 25, 2014 Filed under: Inhibitions Illustrated 2 Commentssweating
as if cheffing over a cauldron
or cooking
with the Dutch oven
trying to make a meal
using dung fuel
Tesla sleep patterns
just to beat Tom and Ed
in a war for the future and current
like a fool making disclosures with no patent
drafts and submissions
Reality… Fiction…
mister chef in the kitchen
what is it you’re cooking?
he tells nothing of what happens
yet he works until the morning
and although he longs for bed
he knows time is talent and keeps working instead
