changing channels

big smile, a collage by douglas brent smith, was created 25 march 2001 (which seems to have been a productive day for collage, meaning that i likely got very little else done!).

i've always enjoyed the work of salvadore dali and it's fun to include him in this collage.

as a theater major, any reference to shakespeare is of course bonus points. i made this collage 25 march 2001. seems like a long time ago now. i don't fish for fish, but i do fish for images.

i made this collage in 1998, with additions in 2015 (the dots). the strategy in the title comes from the chess piece (but you knew that). save your doodles, you never know when they'll come in handy.

this time around

this time around
----------------------------------

when we could be reckless
breaking hearts, missing signals
keeping secrets meant for disclosure
making shit up &
when we had time to make
so many mistakes we had to
redefine the term
we did

and took more wrong turns
than our wheels could handle

enough to know, to remember, to learn
not to do that again
or jump into empy pools or
climb over steel walls, but

this pool: taken full, filled &
overflowing this pool is safe
and these walls did their job
enough and can now rest
because we both know
this time around is better
so much better than before
and too precious to break
