The Real Work

sea-lions and birds,
sun through fog
flaps up and lolling,
looks you dead in the eye.
sun haze;
a long tanker riding light and high.

sharp wave choppy line--
interface tide-flows--
seagulls sit on the meeting
eating;
we slide by white-stained cliffs.

the real work.
washing and sighing,
sliding by.

I normally hate tv commercials. But there's one out right now for an outdoor gear type company that uses a short Cat Stevens song called The Wind. While I may not agree with his current politics, I love his songs from the 70's. I think the ad works better for Stevens than the company. His greatest hits cd has been in heavy rotation for me lately.

This morning I'm installing linux on an old 486. It'll be nice to have a linux machine at home again to play with. I hope there's support for TrueType fonts these days.

onblur.com (which I was hoping would be the evil version of this site) is the beginning of some sort of Patrick Moorhead flash menagerie.
