Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(Jan 18) Somehow, between my last post and this one, I apparently took 100 photos I didn’t save. I’m quite sure I have no idea what that’s about. I revisited some familiar places.

and pooped for eight years
The house where Billy chased his Kong

the fake brick is pretty awful though
It hasn’t changed much

"on time is whatever we say it is"
Things come and go, and and come and go again

and it's as empty there as it ever was
The building in the foreground is new, it just doesn’t feel like change.

signs of sadness
A former housemate puts the Will G. stickers up. He says it is to honor his son, which is of course a nonsense excuse for defacing things. But for those in the know, it expresses how much he misses his kid.

intersections
Go and Stop. A metaphor for my life.

(Jan 8) Suddenly, nothing happened. I am still in Port Jefferson, apparently for the year. But it doesn’t feel like home either.

burned
There’s been a fire

it wasn't a residence, whatever it was
I don’t really remember what was here.

peace
Through the woods

waiting
Past the train yard

for now
Toward where I sleep

(Dec 31) The end of 2011. I will not miss it. If the year had a theme, it was the treachery of the NYLUG coup, and that I moved again, and that I’ve had a car under my feet instead of the pavement. That last one’s been taking some getting used to still.

(Dec 14) The Port Jefferson Dickens Festival was afoot. Those who wanted to look good went to see Nan for costumes.

What are those adults asking for for Christmas? Mortage payments?

victorians
Carolers

The tax collector’s office, now the Long Island Music Hall of Fame

pointy
The wheels of pain

there's a lot of wood
In among the logs…

berries
Many things grow

it's a woodland critter
fungus

just not the kind that run around
of which there’s more than one among us

pre-boards
To Pete, this is called inventory.
