Yeti In Love (The Director's Cut)

Yeti In Love

Acertain Ratio

hard pillow soft sheets
awake for hours

listening to Eno songs
about airplanes and flowers

my mind
wanders
to pi(e)

Melting

after the thaw
where once there was snow

what's yet to be born
and what's died below

Memento Vivo

being is now

not is later

Untitled 2.08.09

moving through rippled tunnels

linking meaning to words

through symbols

we transcend

this mortal

coil

long title for a short poem about the future of life on Earth

we'll be grateful

if the robots

enjoy

antiques

Economics of Scarcity

with a surplus of joy

each crack can be filled

with squandered beauty

Terrain

not what you say
but how you say it

I ask for metaphors
you give me maps

Almost Free Gallery Space for Artists

I have a storefront on Dundas St. West Junction in Toronto that would be very well suited for an art space.

25 ft wide window exposure.
12 ft ceilings with abundant track lighting.
800 sq.ft. bare bones gallery
+ 2000 sq.ft unfinished basement
+ another 2000 sq. ft. finely finished space with up to 16 ft. ceilings for an opening party.

Here's what I suggest:

I would offer the space to an artist or collective of artists to use the space on a short term basis (nightly, weekly or monthly) to host art openings and/or to display their art for show or sale. I may ask only for works of art as payment in lieu of rent.

Let me know what you think and pass this on to whomever you think might be interested.

Still Looking

what you lost can't be found here

but this is where you search

because you think there's more light

Unititled 2.3.09

I told you
before the ship went down

that I was
already drowning

Untitled 2.2.09

I climb the pillars
and undo the heavenly hatch

let's pretend
it's not too late

to die young
and leave a beautiful corpse

Drifting

i am a river

you are a pond

i wish

we were

an ocean
