Love in the Time of Hog Cholera

Black Angel's Death Song
Velvet Underground 1967

"The myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate
For him to choose
What had he to lose

Not a ghost bloodied country
All covered with sleep
Where the black angel did weep
Not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose

And wandering's brother
Walked on through the night
With his hair in his face
On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T.

The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn
Until we said so long
To his skull-shrill yell

Shining brightly red-rimmed and
Red-lined with the time
Infused with the choice of the mind
On ice skates scraping chunks
From the bills

Cut mouth bleeding razor's
Forgetting the pain
Antiseptic remains cool goodbye
So you fly
To the cozy brown snow of the east
Gone to choose, choose again

Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget
Where you come from
The stools of your eyes
Serve to realize fame, choose again

And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse
For the loss of a horse
Went the bowels and a tail of a rat
Come again, choose to go

And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame
Have your head bobbed and weaved
Choose a side to be on

If the stone glances off
Split didactics in two
Leave the colors of the mouse trails
Don't scream, try between
If you choose, if you choose, try to lose
For the loss of remain come and start

Start the game I che che che che I
Che che che ka tak koh
Choose to choose
Choose to choose, choose to go."

St. Swithun's Eve

Will it rain in El Paso on July 15th, St. Swithun's Day?

'St Swithin’s Day, if it does rain
Full forty days, it will remain
St Swithin’s Day, if it be fair
For forty days, t'will rain no more.'

I can see lightning over the lower valley.

El Paso Zoo

The most common accusation levelled against zoos is one of cruelty. Is it cruel to keep animals in a zoo?

Such a strange flower. Suitable to any occasion. I carried one on my wedding day....

Donkeys Redux

Donkeys are symbols of modesty and humility according to Cabala. We all could learn from the humble burro.

I find Sundays in El Paso

best to casually skulk downtown.

"where are you? where are you? where are you? where are you? come to tea, come to tea you and me, you and me, come to tea pinky blue skies away pinky blue skies today come to tea, come to tea you and me, you and me, come to tea pinky blue skies away pinky blue skies today it's up to fate."
