Screen Erotica (or) Breathing in the wind
Your light flashes green and I see white; I see the white of your skin almost translucent and the squeal of your flesh. I salivate and place my fingers on the keyboard. “Hello.”, I type. Awaiting your response… “Can I watch you for a while?” …still waiting. While I wait I watch you in my…

The cracks
One day, free writing and feeling fairly Dr. Seussian out tumbled the following… Arching mountains with tusks held high, feet in the earth, wind in the sky. Head banging pigeons bash out their blues While under the bridges there are songs to be used. Sing us a puppet with ears made of gold, so it…

In Gratitude for the Many Yous
Photo by Peter Ruben You #1. Oh you, one who whispered the secrets of the world into my sinews, you who paddled me around the deep waters, cleaning cobwebs and leading the way. You, mermaid of the sea, adventurer of tropical breezes; teaching me to sail with my heart by the light of the sparkle…

These are some pictures of a costume I made in 2008. It is made almost entirely from Metro Cards from the New York subway. I collected a lot of the cards myself but was helped enormously by a man who cleaned out the bins where the cards go and he gave me a big bag…

Witches: In three parts
Part 1: The search “Ding, dong, the witch is…” “Hey stop that! She’ll hear you. You can’t go singing about like that in these parts.” “Ding dong.” They stood quietly away from the door and waited… Scuffling was heard inside and the sound of someone turning the door handle. The children stiffened. Their minds…

How big were you thinking?
I just came back from watching a documentary on Ai Wei Wei and I am floored. I am excited by the determination and possibility he opens up by his art/ existence and confronted by the comparatively menial and ridiculous “problems” that I believe that I face. The hurdles and limitations, the boundaries that I am…
