Video Find of the Day
OK. I admit, yesterday's poetic video find was a tad maudlin. Here, I'll make it up to you. Continuing our tribute to Poetry Month (and I don't think we can keep this up until Mayday) we have here a B-movie Beat poem, or more precisely, facsimile of a Beat poem. Check out the cast. Jackie Coogan, AKA The Kid, AKA Uncle Fester, on piano, or pretending to be. Russ Tamblyn, AKA Riff of West Side Story, AKA dog walker God to Joan of Arcadia. Woof.

About Me
- Dr. Wes Browning
- I have a doctorate in Mathematics from Cornell. I am amused by this. My parents tried to kill me on my 1st birthday. Though I now can't speak it much, and though my parents never could, my first language was Hawaiian, not English. I partially credit an I'iwi for my survival. Hear one on the audio clip at my complete profile. I've been homeless a number of times, for a total of about 4 years. For some of that time I supported myself with the sale of paintings. One of my paintings was chosen for the cover of the premier issue of Real Change, see the links below. Since that first issue in 1994 I have become part of its volunteer editorial committee. I write a regular humor column for the paper, currently titled Adventures in Irony. I serve on the Real Change Board of Directors. I feed the Real Change cat Sid Vicious. Anitra Freeman and I are an item.
