on a .gin.whim. i locked my bike 'round a parking sign on second and market street.saturday night.06.26.2010. My legs skipped down the steps as i gathered loose change with my left hand. two dollar blue line ride to thirtieth street.indeed.

SEPTA.takes pennies.dimes.quarters.bills.ladida.just no slugs.those are best kept for fishing trips out of town.so i heard.once on a rainy day.but.no need for that story today.

...

anyhoo.

i paid exact change for a seat on the bolt bus.thirty-fourth and eighth.NYC.

i sat in awe.

i'm allowing myself.to fluff. i'm allowing myself to whim.!!!.i'm allowing myself to step aside.of my hibitual.ritual.work.mode.ness.yo.

i am able to take a gin.whim.trip.cause i got a kick.ass lady named DEVO.who lives in Bushwick.she's crafty with her hands.and.witty.sweet.with her mind.

i met her two years prior 'round these dates.at an art residency.gated community.in upstate new york.called chautauqua. we've been tight ever since.

i check my bag for a breathe.mint.diddie. i have no such item available. only a bike pump.a dieing phone.thirty dollars.a dirty ballet leotard.and.cotton shorts.

.it was the fluff i needed.

.thank you devo.

There is madness to my work.i mean i work so much i get mad.like a hat maker in the eighteenth century. giggle.s.
no. not really. i could work more.
always.more.always.i wake up to work.i live to work.i have nothing else to do but work.
i guess i could shower.i could go to that party.i could go to rittenhouse square.climb a tree.and people watch.i could.i could.i could do lots of things actually. i'm capable of getting a desk job too. nine.to.fiver.health insurance.
i choose to work in the constantly shifting.unstable.realm of art.making.
i chose this life.this time 'round.'round.'round.

what i'm trying to type. ... there is a.reason.theory. purpose. of some sort.

those sales paid for my BALLET lessons at a lovely studio in center city. called. Symmetry.

(i'm taking the lessons.for several.several.several reasons. fulfill child.hood fantasy.,.submerse myself in fluid awe.some acts of spins whenever i damn well choose.,.learn a new art.craft.ritual.,.and.research for a performance piece i've been conjuring in my brain.for.years.)
