    Candybugs started by Sam Harrelson
    Candybugs and cataract water –
    spilling into one small moment
    large brains and puzzles
    saturate with the distraction
    of a ticking daydream vigor.
    Reflectful moments of reprise
    with apes following into the gorge,
    the essential small moments
    that perform
    Twitter as Graffiti started by Sam Harrelson
    Twitter is cultural graffiti. In other words, don’t dismiss it, even when folks tweet about the sweet potato pancakes they had for breakfast. And if you do dismiss Twitter, please conjure up another adjective besides narcissistic.
    Voodoo Universe started by Sam Harrelson
    I manage time but still loose heart,
    my brain vertigo hemorrhage of gravitons and gluons.
    Hands whirl on a silver circle on the office wall,
    timing the heart beats until Golgotha.
    I smell the stench of veneer and hide in the cave of your atlantis.
    Yet I cannot stop the goose skin de
    Peniel started by Sam Harrelson
    Mystical moist night air
    points me to the cavern
    on the green hill
    under the shadow of the birch tree.
    Hearing myself speak,
    I turn to wrestle the Jabbok
    on a river of self penance and blame.
    You touch my hip and I quake.
    You spit in my eye and I see
    You burn my lips with coal
    In Between started by Sam Harrelson
    Between us there is a pen and a paper.
    And a spider web of neural pathways fired by electricity.
    And tendons that moves bone that move flesh.
    And keys on a keyboard that are depressed.
    And a spider web of wires fired by electricity.
    And pixels.
    And photons emitted by bulbs.
    And nitrog

    My New Favorite Album started by Sam Harrelson
    I’m a huge Willie Nelson fan.
    I even got to meet him in Wilkes-Barre, PA at a fan-club (yes, I’m in the Willie Nelson Fan Club) meetup after a great show back in 2002. He signed my boot. He also offered to sign my dog, but that’s for another post.

    I have no idea where this came from or who put it together (I’ll source it if I find out), but this is hilarious for us weirdos who still relish in the great writers of our species’ past (click for full screen):

    This is a post a little out of the ordinary, but I really have been infatuated with how well this product works…

    During the holidays, before the Avett Brothers show here in Asheville, I got to catch a set by Jessica Lea Mayfield as she opened for the Avetts.
