Spent a night being mesmerized by poet rockstar queen Patti Smith play the Chicago Theater for Horses 50th anniversary which they played in it’s entirety. To my elation,they also covered several Television songs from Marquee Moon. NTM, afterwards, we got to meet the band. I’m still floating! #poetry

with pen to paper I will liberate myself from the itch inside #haiku #poetry #emoetry

Life does pull in mysterious directions.

Today’s harvest. I’m sad to say that this is my last veggie haul of the season. Time to hunker down and prep for winter. Already looking forward to growing things again. 🥗 🪴 🪏 #growingthingsiscool #gardening #veggies #veggiegardening

A quiet place to lie my head, A buck with which to borrow Picturesque inside my dred, Warmth, safety & no sorrow A carnival, the tepid air, the Shade of a lovely ash, A tall black gate lies at my feet I'll climb over it tomorrow #poetry #emoetry #aquietplace

Crickity Crockity, my hair is long gone from me And the skin on my bones has seen better days To cure all my ails, I don’t fuss and I don’t fret I eat little children, who will not behave #poetry #horrorpoetry #nurseryrhyme #halloween

V/H/S Horror Halloween is a super fun, old school throwback to funny, creepy, gorey horror w/ diy style. Got a real kick out of it, plus friends Micheline & Chip Norman Pitt made one of the segments! 👻 🖤 www.youtube.com/watch?v=acpI...

Weapons was a fun little witchy flick. I especially liked the ending. #weapons

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

I think it’s safe to say that we’re getting to experience what it feels like to be a character in a Star Wars film.

Today 11:11 & 1:11 so far.

golden leaves dawning fresh trails are undressing me sedum in the air #haiku #poetry #art

ICE just came through & over our neighborhood. 👀

Because I like to live on the wild side, at 10:17PM CST, I’m going to pour myself a cup of coffee & dig into some Pynchon.

I’ve been trying to get back to reading more, so a few weeks ago I searched my stacks. Finding this, I decided 27 years on the tbr list was enough. I’m in it. #gravitysrainbow #pynchon

Spooky season is upon us. 👻 The walk of the undead Empty hallow eyes Going nowhere Hungry crows cawing nearby The mark of flesh hunting Ensuing bodies cry The walk of the undead No one knows who next will die! #spooky #creepy #gothic #horrorpoetry #darkart #poetry #rhyme #horror #micropoetry

our sadness ensues the world is disheartening a dry river bed #haiku #poetry #art #micropoetry

Rabbit. Rabbit. Rabbit.

We live smack dab in the middle of Chicago, just a few miles from downtown. As you can see, we are in grave danger here. #chicago

Today’s harvest: Other than a few odds & ends, this sadly might be the last of my summer veggies. I’m gonna need to build a greenhouse! 🍅 🪴 ☀️ #gardening #vegetablegardening

It is a gorgeous day here in Chicago! I do declare September as my favorite month. 👍 #september #chicago #autumn

Perhaps I should say, I’m daring to try to remain hopeful.

4th time today. Lol

cool, fresh evening air black pedals under my feet stars and moon above #haiku #poetry #art

I am feeling hopeful.

Otd selfie. Seeing The Lemonheads today last year at the House of Blues. 👋

I want my stolen photos & videos from the very specific years of 2019-2021 back.

With Riot Fest starting today, let me just say that the greatest after show that I ever got to see was watching Television play Marquee Moon in its entirety at The Bottom Lounge in 2014. #television #riotfest www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kvg...

All this month you can see a wide range of great films playing on the big screen via Regal Cinemas Month of Masterpieces. Each film shows for only one day. Yesterday was Pans Labyrinth. Today was Do the Right Thing. Tomorrow is Psycho, etc. Get out of your head for a while & go see a movie!
