Bolano in Stone
21 Feb
“Godzilla in Mexico”
Listen carefully, my son: bombs were falling
over Mexico City
but no one even noticed.
The air carried poison through
the streets and open windows.
You’d just finished eating and were watching
cartoons on TV.
I was reading in the bedroom next door
when I realized we were going to die.
Despite the dizziness and nausea I dragged myself
to the kitchen and found you on the floor.
We hugged. You asked what was happening
and I didn’t tell you we were on death’s program
but instead that we were going on a journey,
one more, together, and that you shouldn’t be afraid.
When it left, death didn’t even
close our eyes.
What are we? you asked a week or year later,
ants, bees, wrong numbers
in the big rotten soup of chance?
We’re human beings, my son, almost birds,
public heroes and secrets.
Dream Library
12 Feb
If you were standing in a treehouse and looking into the mansion, you might see a werewolf stealing books from the library.
Blind Willie Mctell
11 Feb.
Oh my goodness, there you are again Blind Willie Mctell. Why is it that you always find me when I am in the most dire need of someone pure and primeval? There is no better bluesman I can think of. Your only competitor to my mind is Hank. You make me feel as if someone were once out there grasping for the stars and trapping moonlight in jars for all to be enlightened by.
Paul Bowles’ Jalaba
11 Feb
Paul Bowles understood the comforts of a Jalaba and the beauty of Morocco some time before I did. He was also a much better writer than I am. But what happened to his wife? She was also an incredible writer. Her stories and novel are like living dreams. Why did he never come back from Morocco? Actually, once you go then you will understand.
Julian Casablancas – 11th Dimension Again
11 Feb
Julian, I have now been to Casablanca and let me tell you something: your 11th dimension and all your alien parallels are more magical than ever. I feel like this song could literally transport all of mankind to a new and slightly more pleasent dimension beyond our stars. At least it does every time I listen to it.
Some Candy Talking Illustrated
11 FebI’m going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat
I’m going down to the place tonight
The damp and hungry place tonight
Should all the stars shine in the sky
They couldn’t outshine your sparkling eyes
But it’s so hard to be the one
To touch and tease and to do it all for fun
But it’s too much for a young heart to take
Cause hearts are the easiest things you could break
And I talk to the filth and I walk to the door
I’m knee deep in myself
But I want to get more of that stuff
Of that stuff
Some candy talking
Talk
And I want
And I want
Some candy talking
Some candy talk
I love the way she’s walking
I love the way she’s talking
It’s just the way she’s walking
It’s just the way she’s talking
And I need
All that stuff
Give me some
Of that stuff
I want your candy. I want your candy
And I need
Give me some
Of your stuff
Give me some
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want stuff
