when i think back



i've been spending quite a lot of time looking for shade.

mucho caliente



89F here in the shade. this is new work from los carpinteros.

linking to data

gdocs spreadsheets let you link directly to individual sheets. would be even better if every cell, row, and column were also directly addressable.

solanaceous

2008 was the international year of the potato.

in praise of the potato

Potato, sojourner north, first sprung
from the flanks of volcanoes, plainspoken kin

to bright chili and deadly nightshade,
sleek eggplant and hairy tobacco,

we could live on you alone if we had to,
and scorched-earth marauders never bothered you much.

I love you because your body's a stem,
your eyes sprout, and you're not in the Bible,

and if we did not eat your strength,
you'd drive it up, into a flower.
