Railroad ties.

With midnight tracks awakened, She hands you one last swig of vodka revelations. Fuzzy mice, like thoughts, dart back and forth, Frantically weighing their options Under the cycloptic eye of the approaching train. * West, she smiles, with well-liquored lips; You fumble with the lid for an empty bottle, Setting small goals, While she comes [...]

No Stone Unlearned

From hundreds of miles away, you feel them in your stomach— Colossal irregularities in the crust of the earth, Landlocked  fleets of celestial shipwrecks, Conceived long before The earth had even dreamt you up. * They communicate through streams of thought, Exchanging bodies of water, pools of knowledge, Making up their mind, then questioning their [...]

Zombie Survival Kit Night-Light

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen– the title says it all. Here is my zombie survival kit night light. It can either be lit by an attached flashlight, or it simply charged by any light source to glow in the dark, thanks to a special paint I used for the back of the case. I made [...]

Prairie wind reconstruction: Sunset musings

The vastness of it all sneaks up on you. Dimensionless space,  stretched out, thoroughly kneaded into existence, and lain down onto an otherwise absent landscape. It’s immediately clear that this is a place where life is not something that’s granted, But rather, something that must be earned. * The winds have no problem tearing your [...]

At 120 kilometres an hour, A collision would [...]

Acnestis

His fingertips begged the door forward, Deadlatch cocking like the hammer of a gun, Barrel pointing accusingly At his head, but only in his mind. – Inside, a radio hissed indifferently, Keeping away the awkward silence And circular self-criticism That follow indecision. – She was splayed across the table Like a mis-strewn peninsula, Her supple [...]

Entheorizing.

This is a visual response to Terence McKenna’s “Stoned Ape” theory of human evolution. As always, feedback and discussion is not only welcome, but encouraged and appreciated. I made this using Photoshop brushes and filters, and it is the first in what will hopefully be an artistically productive next little while. Click to see the [...]

Niche

Niche The rain had let up not too long ago; The city was taking an exaggerated, porous breath. I crossed at the lights; a courtesy wasted on an empty street. A million imperfections dotted the soaked tarmac, Like taste buds on a tongue, Savouring the dirt amid the traction of my boots. The last few [...]
