Sliding for the Sake of Extremes

Sliding for the Sake of Extremes, collage by Douglas Brent Smith, 1997

 "You've got to have a healthy respect for danger," she said, "there are no guardrails."

"Indeed. Still, I'd feel better in a smaller car."

"Going up was easier than going down. We could wear out our brakes if we're not careful."

"Oh, do please be careful."

"Hold onto your hat."

"Fasten your seatbelt."

"Turn on the radio."

Song: Scary Halloween

i went shopping for a pumpkin ran into a Christmas tree instead of seeing orange and black i saw red and green scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween i went looking for Frankenstein and monsters to fill me with fear but instead i found Santa Claus and his flying reindeer scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween tried to find my favorites at the grocery store but they're hard to find so tucked away things aren't where they usually live everything is there to give attention to the holiday display scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween i don't like to complain too much but why are we in such a holiday rush? with so many days between now and then but here we are counting down the days again scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween -------------------------...

poem: patiently

i want to read every book touch every flower, breathe in every mint aired aroma, laugh at all of your jokes      over again see all of your faces trace the years between us and smoothe the bumpy gaps i want to bake a cake so big it takes a lifetime to eat and create a life so long that all the cake is gone i will have it, i will eat it.      i will treat it as your appetizer for better (much better) days to come and what you can't see now in you in me in us in eternity eternally waits,      patiently for your discovery.

Awkward Climb

  "Must be January." "Yep." "That's when you work on and think about collages the most." "Correct." "Good times." "Indeed." I look out the window. Snow. Not Chicago level snow, but still snow. Colder than usual. Later than usual. If life is a collage, the picture is still forming. It will be there even when we're not looking. Even when we're not there." Awkward Climb -- collage by Douglas Brent Smith, 1997

intermittant

there were chance meetings distributed miles and months touching us taunting us locking us into a long tight wire of vibrating nuance you knew this, and kept on dancing i knew this, and...what? what  did it mean? how would it turn? oh how we would yearn...oh how we would learn.
