“UNIQLO: Made For All”
Reassuring, in a way, to know that there are profitable newspapers with zero editorial.
de Young Museum. San Francisco, CA. August, 2012
Been sort of skulking lately. Skulking is the right word for it. A skulk is also the collective noun for a group of foxes. I’ve been skulking. Skulking with obstinacy. Which is also the name for a herd of buffalo.
Ode to a babe (babeliness is next to godliness)
A babe! A babe. An implausible babe!
A sneak! That babe. Somehow overlooked, this babe.
In plaid. Babely in plaid. In plaid and cuffed sleeves. A babe. In dresses — those dresses! — breezy and flowing. A babe.
And in her smile, a babe.
A restrained smile, nearly imperceptible
Tugging gently at the corners,
Like she knows better than to laugh at you, this babe.
Taunting bottom lip, this babe.
Never believed in the adjective “beestung” before.
But maybe you should put some ice on that, babe.

Wonderful, under the flag people. Ferry people.
Angel Island to San Francisco. Sometime in June.

All these people craning their necks. As if it were impossible to look straight ahead while riding a ferry. Like that need to contort yourself to look out a tiny airplane porthole during landing. Only it’s bigger and it smells like diesel fuel and moldy rubber boots and sometimes there’s a bar.
The redhead though. She can stare straight ahead. Cloaked in redheaded indifference that makes her seem genuinely interested and silently disgusted at the same time. (Catlike, those gingers.) Anyhow: it was a thrillingly pedestrian ferry ride.
