I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

RIP Alvin Delau

Goodbye Uncle Al. I'll miss you.

One of my memories of Uncle Al is that he gave me my first digital watch. This was before the time of LCDs. You had to press a button to see the time. And it was a very expensive watch back then. Al saw me looking at it during a family get together and he took it off his wrist and gave it too me to take home. That was Uncle Al; generous, smart, with integrity to spare.
