Bob, I'm with Kandi. Can you reprint the text from the painting here or somewhere else? It's phenomenal, man. I just absolutely fucking marvel at people with not only the creative mind to express powerful thought and emotion, but also the artistic ability to manifest that expression in a visual or auditory medium that is meaningful to the rest of us. I swear to God you're a genius, man.

AFTERTHOUGHT- You make alot of references to the Sea or Ocean in alot of your lyrics and well....even this. Why is that? Please. Sincerely, This is not random as I have wondered for a long time

how do you choose what pieces you are going to post? do you post what you have just finished or pull from what i'm sure is an extensive collection based on what you feel like sharing or pondering at the time? the process of things is interesting to me...

Your drawing reminds me of a nightmare I had.

It was filled with lots of random stuff before this "scene" that frightened me to the core: I was escorting a young man to the guardhouse on the military base I used to work on. He was in his early twenties, tall, new as could be to whatever he had signed up for, and Arab. He was in civilian clothes and had a little-boy back pack on his back like he was going off to school.

He went into the guardhouse and stood at attention in front of the soldier--typical hair and fatigues, white, shorter than the young man, and young himself.

He was looking up at the boy as he talked at him, calmly, close enough for the boy to feel his breath, I imagined.

The young man came out of the guardhouse, with his little-boy back pack still on his back, and doubled over in front of me, spewing vomit through his mouth and defecating at the same time. He was fully clothed, but I could still see the waste pouring through his pants to the ground.

It's the most horrifying thing I've ever seen in a dream.

It didn't surprise me, though. I don't doubt for a second that one human being could devastate another with just words...

I heard you have a new book of poetry. I want one.
