A firm conclusion.

Banquet's new album IMPASSE is available for stream/download at http://banquet.bandcamp.com. It's free/PWYC; just click Buy Now and enter a zero if you'd like, or whatever other number if you wouldn't. None pressure.

No art to find the mind's.

Near the bus stop I wait at, about a block or two away, is a tall apartment rise being built. I was thinking, watching the people drive their cars past, wondering about all things. And I heard a shout call through the air--"Where's your hard hat?" I looked up to that building and saw one man standing atop it and large against the sky. And I thought, maybe he is talking to me.

Is silence not quenching.

Today, while out walking about the neighbourhood blocks, I approached a couple arguing loudly on the sidewalk ahead. I tried to step around them, but as I did the woman grabbed a package of cigarettes from the man and threw it at me. I caught it, but when I started to ask to give them back, she told me to shut up, and to tell her boyfriend to shut up too, why don't I. But I didn't do that, and instead I turned and kept walking. So, that has been my day.
