about

Peo­ple describe me as “crafty.” Not in the Beastie Boys’ ‘She’s Crafty’ kind of way; I make things. I see things I like and then I fig­ure out how to make them myself. Usu­ally google is required. And tenac­ity. Usu­ally that too. Also, low­ered expec­ta­tions. Any­how, I think this is Gen­er­a­tion DIY. I know there is so much we can do to make this world a bet­ter and more beau­ti­ful place. And I’m look­ing for work! Please get in touch.

If you’re won­der­ing why ‘we are not human,’ check out poet/hero Ms. Patti Smith’s “Bird­land”: http://open.spotify.com/track/2Q3E2aEvcvd0fZOc36VcEW

I am helium raven and this movie is mine
So he cried out as he stretched the sky
Pushin’ it all out like latex car­toon
Am I all alone in this gen­er­a­tion?
We’ll just be dreamin’ of ani­ma­tion night and day
And won’t let up, won’t let up and I see them comin’ in
Oh, I couldn’t hear them before, but I hear ‘em now

It’s a radar scope in all sil­ver and all plat­inum lights
Movin’ in like black ships, they were movin’ in, streams of them
And he put up his hands and he said, “It’s me, it’s me
I’ll give you my eyes, take me up, oh Lord, please take me up
I’m helium, raven waitin’ for you, please take me up
Don’t leave me here”

The son, the sign, the cross
Like the shape of a tor­tured woman
The true shape of a tor­tured woman
The mother stand­ing in the door­way, let­tin’ her sons
No longer pres­i­dents but prophets
They’re all dreamin’, they’re gonna bear the prophet

He’s gonna run through the fields dreamin’ in ani­ma­tion
It’s all gonna split his skull
It’s gonna come out like a black bou­quet shinin’
Like a fist that’s gonna shoot them up
Like light, like Mohammed boxer

Take them up up up up up up
Oh, let’s go up, up, don’t hold me back
Take me up, I’ll go up, I’m goin’ up, I’m goin’ up
Take me up, I’m goin’ up, I’ll go up, tell
Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up
Up, up, to the belly of a ship
Let the ship slide open and we’ll go inside of it
Well, we are not human, we’re not human
