like a pebble cast into the calm pond
ripple
across the surface
tension
in rhythm
resonance

Friday, March 28th, 2008Welcome to the New American Century
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008I have been trying to find out information about this song with a catchy hook that I had heard on Jeff Farias‘ radio show on Nova M Radio and today I not only found out it is called, surprise surprise, New American Century by Sputnik Weazel; but there’s a video by a fellow peacenik. Check it out:
The Ride
Thursday, March 6th, 2008Smog hovers above the Bay this morning.
As I approached our old place on Arlington,
I remembered I hadn’t put the dogs’ water bowl out for them.
Turn around
Hey at least i get to see what this part of the ride is like in the daylight.
Not bad!
Hills off to the East, and actually, all around.
Back to the smog.
You could really only see it as you rounded past San Pablo Dam Road.
At first it looked like a giant grey nebulous ghost of a toad.
Floating over San Pablo.
By time I got back up and over,
the toad had morphed
into a blanket of doom, spread across the Bay like a death veil.
Off in the distance, you could see it was the Chevron plant in Richmond churning it out.
Even in the middle of Lefty Mecca we have need for the devil’s brew of gas and oil.
Let our kids die on foreign soil
to protect our right to wreck and spoil
the planet
your back yard
doesn’t it seem like a state of distress?
Why the triangulation?
why the complication?
Things have really slipped
we’re losing our nation
but not of you’ve got YOUR imagination
of what this world could be like
if we only cared.
