ELI BISHOP

Annotations man, Chicago

 

 

Stuck to a lamp-post at the top of a hill in Dolores Park, San Francisco - too urban a setting maybe, but at least a romantic scene did take place near there, what seems like ages ago:

Here is the ribbon she tied to the grass stem.  It's blue, fluttering in the same wind.  It's realer than it was when she put it there, it's more than itself.  'What is it?' Max says to his mind.  'Is it that reality isn't real to me the first time around?'

 

'What it is,' says his mind, 'is that you aren't always real the first time around.'

Eli's 2002 quote

 

 

 

from THE MEDUSA FREQUENCY

 

Fidelity is a matter of perception;

nobody is unfaithful to the sea or

to mountains or to death: once

recognized they fill the heart.

 

Securely paper-clipped to a wire fence in a tiny waterfront park overlooking a lot of slimy dark rocks and the city lights across the  river, Grand St. and Kent Ave., Brooklyn, New York, 10 pm.

 

(The correct size paper was unavailable on short notice, so, U.S. letter-size trimmed down to correct proportions...)

 

It was awfully cold.  Then I went home and had some whisky and drew comic books.

 

- Eli
