Jackson’s Law of Lost Objects
Anything placed with the thought, “This is important I’ll put it here” will never be seen again.
Jackson’s Laws of Gravity
Anything dropped will always bounce, scoot, or roll into any opening it barely fits into or under.
Dropped objects can travel farther than Newton’s Laws predict.
The air flows
there are musical notes,
the water flows,
there are birds who still sing
and will bring
babies in the spring.
There is coffee and a comfortable chair
and willow trees make me write
foolishly in this box
while wearing only socks
The grinding of the grain
The turning of the stone.
The water falls
The generator turns
the generator moves electrons
The fingers move over the keys
bringing these
leaves of the grasses
waving in the breeze
The turning of the words,
the words they look over
my shoulder at the page
at the blank page
put us there
they say
put us there on the page
with the grasses

This next one is a real find. 1988 and the ladies, ah the ladies! Good ol’ Youtube, one of the best internet ideas and collector of our times. Ya gotta stop and wonder at the thing, this net. It kinda created itself like a big ol’ universe explosion and an idea like a “database” catches the stars and saves them for people of the far distant future who will study us. They will find this ancient thing called Google and they may be here reading these words. Hello people of the future. The next video you should take back to your time and play it for your beings.

Leonard Cohen,
most of my heroes have
evaporated like my youth
not that they made promises
they couldn’t keep but
I guess I just got
bored
but Leonard
across the burning sands
I’m your man
I saw you in Nashvile in what, ’77?
now here I stand in 2012
and
I’m still your man
Leonard and his ladies are
my own personal angels.

Abstract Landscape Painting
Is that an art genre? Maybe it should be. Is that a contradiction. An abstract is, by definition, a painting that does not represent the real. Of course there is no definition for an abstract painting and it could be said that a landscape painting cannot represent the real world either being both flat and made of paint.
A very beautiful painting. So full of color and so exuberant, a celebration it seems.
It is by Tennessee Artist Glenn Merchant.
