poetry and the art of recklessness

"how sad it is when a luxurious imagination is obliged in self-defence to deaden its delicacy in vulgarity, and riot in things attainable that it may not have leisure to go mad
after things that are not." *john keats, july 1818
let us riot in the unattainable!
poetry is when the animal bursts forth, inflamed.

*and dean young is spectacular to have written this essay in poets&writers magazine

What Would Bourdain Do?

Anthony Bourdain, you son of a b*tch, i love you so f*ing much.

as i deliriously stroll about in my wanderlust,

i sometimes pause and say "What would Bourdain do?"

and before the editor swoops in to alter my gut response, i say out loud,

"...his producers would know, because they give him his itinerary."

i could be shamefully incorrect, and maybe Bourdain IS Bourdain IS Bourdain,
and decides what he decides because he decides it.
on the spot.
off the cuff.
on a whim.
by the hair of his chin-y chin chin.

that guy is a bada**.
from the salt and pepper on top, slide down skinny jeans, cowboy boots
and cigarette to boot. . .you m*tha f*cka!

namaste, Anthony Bourdain.
may i be fortuitously blessed by seeing you in a cafe one of my traveling days.
