Move'n On Up to the East Side

My third apartment in ten months.

 At first it looked like this.

A few weeks later it looked like this.

 

All it needed was:

1. A little love

2. Friends who will dumpster dive for you at 8:00am.

3. The kindness of strangers

4. A dollar store

5. Bleach

It's Christmas in My Seoul

It's the holidaze.

Time to celebrate.

It's strangely comforting to wander around the city

with drunken Santas despite my sober constitution.

Especially on a night filled with live music

and lunar eclipses.

Everyone wants to sit on a Santa's lap

Ho Bar III Is Rock'n Round the Christmas Tree

Feelings

It's a very Korean Punk / Grunge Christmas

(Thank you Norma Jean, Alyssa, and Landino for getting me out of the house.)

Harri-bou Woke Up.

It's hard to say the day he went to sleep, 

because I did not notice at first.

But then I called his name and he would not answer,

and he walked, but he was not moving,

and he smiled, but there was no light.

but today, today he woke

but now I wonder if I am dreaming.

Because it seems to

convenient and contrived

for a happy ending.
