Holus Bolus: “All At Once”

BY | Posted on | FILED UNDER Categories Holus Bolus, Manhattan

We walk together All at once
Gazing towards the unsuspecting future
Turning In and out, we watch the cognizable politicians
Persuading us with their visions
Talking about preventing collisions
Showing us to the best physicians
They’re doing this for us, not me and not you
Us is another word for we
Not me, we
1 syllable, 2 letters
It’s not a fantasy, it’s a reality
An opportunity
All at once
We live and die feel and cry
All at once

“Pelagic Sadness” by Hana

BY | Posted on | FILED UNDER Categories Brooklyn, Pelagic, Places

The sea is like a never-ending love,
that seems to go on forever.
But the sea does eventually stop,
Just like the life a person that has no more use for a person.

I fall into a sad and dark sleep where no one may enter,
And the things you are convinced are wrong,
Suddenly appear to be the only right in this world,
a world that is filled with anger and jealousy.

As I step into the whirlpool of an unending sadness,
A pelagic sadness that grows at it yearns for a life.
The sea and I have two things in common,
We are full of surprises, even if it may not seem like it and,
We both are pelagic in one way or another.

The story behind both of us still hasn’t ended,
and the story will never end.

Georgic: Sakura

BY | Posted on | FILED UNDER Categories Brooklyn, Georgic, Places, Words

I never really liked flowers that much
The daisies always seeming too happy
The fragile roses poisoning my touch
All much too big or yet too small to see
But in Park Slope there seems another lot
All pink and white and growing in their crowds
And even dying I see that they’ve got
A sort of charm as petals fall in clouds
Colours against the sky are shocking still
In contrast yet in perfect harmony
Growing when it’s warm yet there’s still a chill
Their beauty comes from their simplicity
Dying and floating down to where we stand
Make a wish on the petal in your hand

Diglot: On how I see the subway…

BY | Posted on | FILED UNDER Categories Brooklyn, Diglot, Manhattan

As a diglot, the subway seems to me like the place to eavesdrop, full of conversations I can secretly understand and full of secret conversations I wish I could. I had worked on a short sound piece on this subject during my first semester of film school, and oddly enough I find myself reviving it on my last semester. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhiIPe11p5Q

Splendor of NY

Top of the rock

After spending past five years of my life in Los Angeles, seeing magnificent towers and sea of people on the streets of New York really dazzled my imagination. For the whole time I was in New York, I couldn’t rest; I couldn’t take my minds off from the world around me.

In Los Angeles, big real estate developers are trying to build what they call “Times Square West” in Downtown LA. But, I doubt that it will ever match the fierce splendor of Manhattan .
