Double glaze the windows
And drink tea by the fire
Bake oatmeal cookies at
Night, to reinforce the smell

Fold crisp newspapers on
Steel Gleaming tops,
Laugh as you keep the cold out
To close your eyes til dawn

Separation – kills – the bones
Of – what the bond – must make
In light of – breathing – even
Just not – when heat – removed

Pity - the broken
pigeon
He'll never heal -
again

Bones can - bend
and brains
Can stick -

Wash you out
to - sleep

Illusion of Control

I’ll tell you when to breathe –

And fill the space between –

I’ll tell you when you fail me most –

Under weight of apology –

you are a dirty little french girl

the tired symbols won't wear out
because we call them something else
any day now
you'll cut your skin and just
expect to bleed

new color new year new direction new breath!

the reflection of all this

skin on skin the

sheen of soft angles

I see before me

is probably

a hallucination:

the giddy drive to always

find yourself in others

no posting for the weary

empty space in the moscow metro

the infinite distances / unbroachable in the slicing walls

recedes beneath the weighted light

and the extending ground / smooth in the shine

as if wet

Is secondary to release

Save Money By Turning off your Lights!

The Moscow city council started a campaign to reduce energy consumption among its citizens. Among other tactics was this hilarious billboard:




Which tells you to "save money by turning off your lights." Comically enough, the sign is lit-up by a number of high-powered, energy-consuming bulbs that run all night long and doesn't even face the flow of traffic on Leningradka. Anyone want to do the math on how much energy they're wasting getting the message out?


I think the irony was so strong that it almost broke my camera-fon - contrary to the assumption you must have made, that foto above has not been shopped at all....
