Kicking Wednesday Interviews
Who?
A voracious bowl and keen spoon.
What?
Sei la Vie, baby.
When?
I am dying for- and terrified of a forced sabbath.
I am dying for- and terrified of a forced sabbath.
Where?
Fraying my passport to find the Brooklyn of every city.
Why?
You're all I need to get by.How?
Right now there are stacks of bricks in the living room. Soon, they'll be my long-awaited dream of an exposed brick wall; but, I'm most excited about mixing the mortar, hearing the resolute scrapes of the trowel, and the stacking--brick by brick.

Ignorant Questions for Society and Its City (3)
How do I comprehend the peace that surpasses the understanding of Manhattan foliage?
Why do women go to and fro talking of Jake Gyllenhaal?
In what station at which metro do you see no faces?
This is just to say who ate the plumbing of Central Park?
Dear alpha, seriously?

Kicking Wednesday Interviews (Early Editon)

| Steven and Simon Leyva |
Who?
An old man now, who's learned at last
what it means truly to be in love
What?
If I speak for the dead, I must leave
the animal of my body,
I must write the same poem over and over
When?
Day off in a dark suit and hat
Where?
She would plunge all poets in the ninth circle
Why?
New York, madame,
is a monument to a city
How?
I said, what if by story you mean the shortcut home,
but I mean voices in a room by the sea
while days go by?

Leslie and Kyle: The Tulsa Stories (Merry Christmas!)

| This was my Christmas present to Leslie in 2004. I finished the last panel in NYC on Christmas of 2007. The only thing that changed between cities was the geographical distance between us and long-time friends. (Click on images to view large.) |
