    esquinas

    The above photo was taken in 2007 in downtown Bakersfield. It would look great as a large gallery-wrap canvas print.

    Translation of Djavan's Esquinas (Corners):

    Only I know
    the corners
    through which I passed

    Only I know
    Only I know

    People know there
    what it means to not have
    and to have in order to give

    They know  there
    They know there

    And who will it be
    in the surroundings of love
    who will know to observe
    that the day has dawned

    Only I know
    the deserts
    that I crossed

    Only I know
    Only I know

    People know there
    what it means to die of thirst
    in front of the sea

    People know
    People know

    And who will it be
    in the current of love
    who is going to know how to guide
    the boat before long
    through the surging wind
    easily and bring
    all the peace
    that one day
    the wish conveyed

    Only I know
    the corners
    through which I passed

    Only I know
    Only I know

    Start the music and then scroll back up and click on the photo to see it at full size.

  • Paul Pomeroy's Space

    Oh a sleeping drunkard up in Central Park / Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark

    Or the Chinese dentist or the British Queen / They all fit together In the same machine

    Nice, nice, very nice
    Nice, nice, very nice
    So many people in the same device

    Oh a whirling dervish and a dancing bear / Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire

    Or a teenage rocker or the girls in France / Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance

    Nice, nice, very nice
    Nice, nice, very nice
    So many people in the same device
