peter's command center compaq pentium 75 with a scanner and digital video camera with steadycam LCD, a CDRom recorder
he got a grant to make an women with aids video
he's a media junkie - shows me adbusters, web master and i-web
like negroponte sez info about info more important never know where the next great URL will come from: national coalition for the homeless page activists oasis cyberanthro I shared a deep old dream with ephedra
I haven't written about it yet, basically I'm in the red archie andrews jalopy under a jetson's car bubble in the dead center of the vastest ocean and before me swims the most massive horizon filling whale - awe and wonder and whemled, completely, I follow to a beach where I hung out in a cave with prehistoric man she sez the whale is the resurrection of creativity
ocean borne recordkeeperdo I like to sing? make noise?
whale people make audible to find their voice.
on the road through stoop ville sandtown-winchester
headed for coppin state collegenew jail, small ass windows lingering in his office, post school students emptied, meeting random staff
he checks his overdue voice mail and deals with pending projects
I post for the day and post a picture I'd just takenamazing.
we stop by to visit camay his mom
lunch late at the village grocer, even baltimore has it's own mini marin
where people in dreadlocks hang out over enlightened foodswhy isn't everyone this healthy?
peter is back in the sandtown-winchester, looking for student held keys to the media labminority business enterprise magazine we stop by
they didn't run his last article - it was too personal.
nicole the 27 year old managing editor likes reading peter's writing best, cuz he's the most progressive writer she sees.we set up her aol account to read web pages
tedious
peter wants her to see his picture
she jokes me what do I know about fly girlsshe sez the baltimore fly girls have higher hair, longer nails than the philly fly girls
I never did get to ask her why.
car bound, I watch an emaciated looking boy wire thin on a cellular phone
I realize the last time I saw this many black faces around
I visited an all black public high school for a day from parkerweird to be in the minority
feeling a little naughty anxious voyeuristic riding in this truck through scoping the downpressed
taking pictures is that much worse folks is hanging outside this hot day on their stoops family portraitsafter we do the tourist bureau that favour, we coast down to the industrial section of town
like philly, baltimore seems a post-industrial letdown abandoned machines warehouse carcasses trash strewn
more pictures
peter sez
don't let me give you the wrong impression about marylandwe're building two new statiums for $260 million dollars on the way home, it's raining, he teaches me about football
a peter passion.
home walk in the rain to pizzatoo expensive with any toppings, we eat it plain I let out a loud fart in the restaurant, he can't take me anywhere home, cheese coma, he passes out
ephedra and I look over web pages,she surfs fast and visual, reacting best to pictures
we discuss dreams and journeyscrabs everywhere bottom feeders
she dreamt about me last night,
peter said, she'll dream about you man, watch, it always comes true she saw snakes going in and out of my palms, around my fingers
something to do with my wrists she kept thinking that at the time of the dream
maybe soon some hand/wrist trouble
could be as small as a paper cut
could be carpal tunnel,pete had that until he took stinging nettles take stinging nettles we look at my hands, left one is square, right rectangle - different thumbs, angle
each hand different, that's weird. told her about larrymare, she recommends research - that day did someone die?
