moments that teach

Posted May 24, 2009

eating salad with fingers on a concrete block at the end of a streetcar stop, while not waiting for a streetcar.
watching the moon come up over lake ontario, talking about godzilla.
invitation to a memorial service for someone taken by aids.
sleeping underneath the stars. in central london.
driving through native land, learning history.
cult underground movies, made in the basements of fast food joints.
backyard, harlem. sizzla on the airwaves.
getting woken by a phonecall just to watch the sunrise, with you.
videogames at 4am.
falling asleep to enter the wu-tang on repeat, and waking up to m-e-t-h-o-d maaaan!
moonlight in plenty, autumn 00.
mist over snow-covered fields.
following train tracks, taking photos of graffiti. giggles.
unexpected parcels. special delivery!
drinking tea with a rehabilitated convict, on a day pass from a halfway house.
tearing down at 1am after a day filled with outdoor jazz.
empty bars down the street.
singalongs in drained water thoroughfares.
photoshoots in living rooms (mine and yours).
prince’s encore.
