caught up in the stream
of things
the streamers I made as a 10-year-old
still hanging from the rec room ceiling where my father tacked them
a long ago place
never touched
and now a new place
that takes me back to when I was 21 and how much I couldn’t enjoy my life then

Memory works in misterious ways. The famous stream of consciousness relates.

“the streamers I made as a 10-year-old

Cool visual. This is a time warp of a poem… 10/21 but spoken from a place beyond both.

i found your blog b/c of vlog #2 on bryan’s blog. THEN i watched vl#1 here. THEN i got swept up in this poem and started wondering about my own stream(s) of consciousness and how little i pay attention to them (thanks for posting!). THEN i noticed the livetrafficthingy on the side of your blog and i got freaked out a little.
all in all, a great blog. can’t wait to read more of your thoughts!
