allow the light to carve through and into you another day fully written within this teeming current of wounded beauty the withering lies and precarious facts are peppered with apologies and preserved for tomorrow vista desde la catalpa

ode to the worker

of that you may see

by the end of the century

a job that pays you a living wage

but the politicians promises

remain rosy and vague

give you visions

of sugar plums

and fuel your rage

it's a testicular morning

and your balls are afire

you’re willing to take any job

not outsourced and ready to hire

put your mind to the grind

you relentless suns-a-bitches

the voting starts early

and the map is against us

Great to be back out shooting “downtown sunday morning’ photos. Met Glenn this morning, a man with a smile that lights up the street. He paused for a quick introduction and then he’s back to work salvaging from our city’s remains; discarded metal, beer cans anything of value that can be sold or made useful again. He’s been working in downtown Tulsa, for 37 years but has a shop in north Tulsa he uses to build things. Truly a worker and an authentic Okie, in the finest sense of both of those words.

I'm sick of bullies of pricks of greed of hate of vileness of lies of meanness of pettiness of shouting of incivility of indecency of war of intolerance of waste of saying I'm sick of saying I'm sick i want to breathe to believe to love to respect to care to play to embrace to include to belong to sing to dance to hope to change to tolerate to say I'm not sick

may it fill you

some folks shoot fireworks, i shoot photos. not all of us americans are making a good living, some are just surviving, but all of us are americans. i celebrate diversity, i celebrate inclusion, i celebrate the worker and i celebrate love. happy fourth of july from tulsa oklahoma, somewhere in middle america. music courtesy of bruce springsteen, American Life.
