Poeta en DF

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of his death, El Centro de Lectura Condesa in Mexico City has installed an exhibition on the great Mexican poet, Jaime Sabines.

I only wish this was already open when I strolled the baby blue streets of la Condesa in October, the taco smoke combing my hair...

Home Brew

Bottled my 2nd batch of homebrew yesterday. This batch is a Belgian White Ale style - blue moon, hoegaarden flavor. I was able to make 2 1/2 cases of 22 oz. brown bombers with this batch. Looking forward to popping the top off (Emily Dickinson-style) of the first brew in a few weeks. In these harsh economic times I had to outsource beer manufacturing to my self.


those lovely brown angels
they stand tall in the dark closet
with the coats and shoes
like a bouquet of orphans
dying for the warm smudge of fingerprints
