Went to the Figge Art museum in Davenport yesterday as it was the first sunday I’ve had off since the car windshield in Madison incident last fall. Anyway the museum is very nice and set up more as a community resource than a full fledged museum, which is the way i see more museums going anyway. The Figge has a large collection of Haitian art in it’s permanet collection which offers a view of a country I admit to be under exposed to. I enjoyed the permanet collections very much but really enjoyed the special exhibit of Edouard Duval- Carries work on the fourth floor. His work ranges from the painting above to large resin boats hanging from the ceiling, representing everything from Haiti’s history to it’s Mystical ancenstors. It was a great history lesson, and one i recommend to anyone interested in S. American Art, history, or even imperalism studies.

Yeah I’m all over the map.

so does anyone think if that rich old white dude cheney shot had died, our vice president would be in court? or that any of us would actually know about the shooting. forget about it. Probably what would have happened is. 1st the security detail would rush Cheney out of there. 2nd. there would be a man hunt for some minority with a past felony who just had the bad luck of being in that town probably working some crappy parole officer enforced job. He would have gotten arrested and even though there wouldn’t be real evidence, he’d be lucky if he even got a real trial.
Thanks Mr. Vice President for only wounding the old guy. I’d hate to see someone possibly die for your mistakes. oh. i forgot. that’s called Iraq. And we know already, were bringing democracy. Can’t wait to hear about a drunken Iraqi politician shooting his friend. “uh we were aiming for a terrorist.”
Sure you were. I’m Sure your were.

so this is going to be quickly done with no editing while it’s still fresh in my head. The ideas come from a conversation I just had with my friend Katie about band names so she should get a co-authorship.

I walked into the bar.
Late night. Slow night.
The air was thick. Like potatoes peeling.
Concord Grape.
Across the room a young couple was fighting.
I moved through the vertical restroom smell,
towards the pool tables, the games.
There he was, all six inches wide.
Gandhi, playing pinball.
and cussing up a storm too.
I walked over to him,
his eyes darted up from behind thick glasses.
Quickly they returned to the game
and he mumbled something in Indian at me.
I turned to the table and watched his prowess at multi-ball.
This man was no novice.
When he lost ball 3 he looked at me with an old pained expression.
“Can I borrow a quarter?”
I stumbled through my pockets, finally grasping the
shiny object between my fingers.
He took it like a rabid dog, began playing again.
The tap came from behind my shoulder,
and I fell back when I noticed David Blaine standing behind me.
“Excuse me” he said as he walked over and put his arm around the holy one.
He reached up, or did he levitate?
placing a kiss on the old man’s bald head.
“wow” i whispered and they both looked at me with loving frightful eyes.
The game ended and they walked out together.
Gandhi looked back at me and yelled
“I was a Leper.”
No one in the bar seemed to hear.
I stood there, beer in my hand staring at a vast sea of indifference.
The leper and the magician.
