A Mouthful Of Art.

2010-02-03T19:11:00.003-05:00

The nations of this imaginary world reside on a planet ruled by the laws of presumed purpose and reptiles. One of the strongest marks of genius is hard work. The young master was ready. The internal organs of the server are codified. A link between allegory and contemporary art emerges. He begins to reenact his obsession with perfect female grace. So-called alternative spaces embody a reaction and a contempt for glamorous reaches. So the young master once again found himself caught in a position of choosing between his inner imperturbability or the pull of riches. In the end, he did what most individuals do with a choice; compromise solution.

There was an overwhelming smell of gas today enveloping Dumbo, Brooklyn
as dozens of firefighters stood around cracking wise
while two or three officers discussed a neighborhood-wide evacuation on their walkie-talkies.
Ultimately, no mass evac was ordered and no monumental explosion took place (toppling the Brooklyn side base of the Manhattan Bridge) either.
Wheew!

It is any one's guess where the ghost came from, but it's a bigger unknown where it has gone.
From the top of this hill, you can spot it hovering
over the houses between Venice and Manhattan Beaches.
But in an instant it will disappear.
That's what it does.
It's fleeting and impermanent, like some dreams.
