A Partial Inventory of a Night Market in Taiwan

A Partial Inventory of a Night Market in Taiwan

Fresh meat, blouses, and turnip cakes.

Revelations and mental rearrangements only seem to occur when I’m not paying attention.

Let’s focus on the new.

You can feel the geography shift when you see all that big pine and cold water.

At some point the screen became the world, and now we’re haunting it.

The ghosts of old standards, summoned for whatever comes next.

Broadcasting from somewhere between the bells of a temple and the heat of a night market.

A tribute to David Lynch that roams through the ruins of vintage ballads and slow-motion noir.

Anything worthwhile rests on a knife’s edge like the delicate art of falling asleep.

Slowing down my favorite songs has become a spiritual practice.

This man was the antichrist. Yes, he was what the end of civilization looked and sounded like.
