I mean, that was the slightest dance ever,
just 4 beats on a sidewalk with Quinn,
but as it followed an ultimate
one and only night,
it was tits.

Hanging with Jamie Sweetman and Marco Bottero
in Quinn's backyard listening to the poetry and music
of these fellows, the perfect emotional conversation,
the punctuation of the music.

Slip sliding Away we played
and Jamie cried because
it was one of his Dad's favorites

Realizing why
unraveled so much
of what makes Sweetman Sweetman

Katie's ricotta peach pie

Dawn's Mojito's

4 way harmonies to sublime songs

John Prine doing Stevie Wonder's "I just called"

 "Goodnight goodnight goodnight"

I love you, but Jesus loves you best
and I wish you goodnight goodnight goodnight

Exactly where I most wanted to be
with the people I most wanted to be with
tonight

Best thing was how it synced up with synth sweeps. Speaking of syncing with synth sweeps... 2. Wrote a poem from lines of The Vibrarian set, which came out beautifully: Take me on There’s a riot going on. What does forever mean? It means we’ll manage mastering your language and in the meantime I create my own. -Massive attack Don’t sweat the technique If it’s not the people It’s me And if it’s not me It’s the music. You might win some but you just lost one

Today I went to Mt. Zion Cemetery. I noticed on the map it was tucked back behind the cemetery I usually go to, Calvary. And I wanted to go to a Jewish Queens cemetery anyway because I told my friend Jacques Delaguerre that I would look for his grandfather's gravestone, which is apparently somewhere in Queens. An impossible task, but one which I was happy to begin. First of all, it was not easy to get into this cemetery. It is closed off from Calvary and you have to take a side street and enter in between the Sanitation dept. and a police station. The cemetery itself is overrun with weeds and flowers. The gravestones are very close together, almost haphazardly laid out. And mostly of a darker hue than the gravestones at Calvary. It is very different from neatly kept and organized Calvary cemetery. I couldn't help think about the chequered history of the Jews while I was here, especially those still alive during WWII. Cats were running around. And in one section I saw an aband
