Happy Father's Day

Hey, Dad,

I recognize that whatever you want, you already have,... or can get it! (Hallelujah!..)

So I offer this pearl of great price,
knowing and believing that you are well on this blessed day.


On this day, I recognise you, and acknowledge you, and thank you
for who you are and all you represent.

I recognize you for your unique ways and manner, for the things you stand for...and what you won't tolerate.

I recognize you for what you have done for the life and love of your wife and your generation.

I recognize you, Dad, for the example of responsibility and a warm humor.

I recognize you as a testimony to the graceful power of the right tone and proper attitude.

I recognize you for your walk, and your willingness to be contrary even if you got to stand alone.

I recognize you for doing what you got to do, when you got to do it.

I recognize you most especially this day as the one who paved away
for me to reach this day, just in time to say...

I love you...


...So how much sleep do you think Barnes and Glover are gonna get thinking about tomorrow?
and what about El Tigre...seven shots behind with 11 to play at a soaked Bethpage Black, he has never won a tournament trailing by more than eight going into the final round...so is Tiger still in the hunt?

For Sydney

"what we have, girl, is tantric...lapiz lazuli...
even though i've never seen your face.

what we have is the envy of the ignorant observers who know nothing of the chains that keep me bound to you.

what we have is hypnotic, baby.
sweet words


floetry


word junkies
flow flunkies,

you're the monkey on my back.



i taste you


smell

feel you

from within and afar.

embraced, mauled.


cursed

and kissed by you,

when you're not being demanding


or coy."

The Yoni Series


















"Say, Skipfolio...my man!...



You ain't been posting much lately, Baby...wassup wit that?"



"Yeah.. I miss you too,... and as much as I love blogging, I don't want to be chained to the blog...,..I'm gonna work it the way it works...but I'm an artist first..


... working and pressing to get my shit together right about NOW!.... and that takes work and time. I been settling old issues with my father's house in Alabama and spent four days there since I stopped by this spot. Spiritually draining.



I been busy kicking this nicotine demon's ass..I've been busy about the things I see before me in my mind's eye..'years on the cusp of greatness', the power of less is more..."





"Ok, babe, that's all cool, ...I feel that, dig that, luv that...


But what I really wanna know is...are you making any Art?




"...Didn't I say I've been busy?"
