Last Day

skyline in chelsea... one of the things i'll miss the most about the city- the beautiful architecture and artistic flow that nearly everything in the city possesses.

July 18th

sunlight, sunlight baby

we just let go of the night now slowly

and we,

we won't dance, we won't sing, we won't talk

we just gunna watch how it bends.

Brooklyn NYC

seasun in williamsburg

a grizzly bear sunset

sunset.

Save up all the days
A routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

90's kind of day...

i was lying on the grass on sunday morning of last week
indulging in my self defeats
my mind was thugged, all laced and bugged, all twisted round and beat
uncomfortable three feet deep
now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning week
impaired my tribal lunar-speak
and of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done
so i missed a million miles of fun

i know it's up for me
if you steal my sunshine
making sure i'm not in too deep
if you steal my sunshine
keeping versed and on my feet
if you steal my sunshine

i was frying on the bench slide in the park across the street
l-a-t-e-r that week
my sticky paws were into making straws out of big fat slurpy treats
an incredible eight foot heap
now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tear in a staring under heat
involved an under usual feat
and i'm not only among but i invite who i want to come
so i missed a million miles of fun

July 9th.

July 9th

Feels Like Home...

and this is where i realize

my troubles come with the bluest eyes

but now i walk in the room

you know it's all i can do

to stare at the floor and not to look at you.

Live.

Open your eyes

Look within

Are you happy with the life you're living?

"It's alright
I've been sleeping
For the recent
Cause it tells me what
To do
I've been sleeping
For the recent
Cause it tells me what
To do
To do"

Struggling with drug addictions and the economic crisis Detroit and surrounding areas are currently facing, Chris Wednesday (his "artist name"- his real last name is something much too long and too Polish to remember...)is a student and artist studying at SVA.

In his words, "get out of the midwest. Go anywhere. Anywhere but there".

Every day we pass by thousands of strangers.

Especially in the city.

What if every day we made one less person a stranger- if we took the time to learn their stories, put a name to "just another face in the crowd"?

I guess we'll see.
