HOUR of Frenzy, / the every which way; / We must get there.
Any Am. metropolis San Antonio, Chicago, New York or Dallas on a rainy evening.
Encapsulated in yellow taxicabs / the circuit drugs with filament wool / swallowed men and their seed / motels with soiled bedsheets / and ba…
I drove that cab last week
I wrote this the day a taxi driver was murdered driving a cab I had driven the week before. I ended up in a Psychiatric hospital a few weeks later. I am still sad about him..
Head back and eyes shut Words spilling like the booze
Kicking off her shoes she closes her eyes for a moment, letting the cooling night air wash over her, nudging away the last vestiges of al…

Memoirs of a norwich taxi driver / Picking up mad drunks / students prostituting the fare
The city is a mess. The trees come down on each other like two hands held in prayer. Women are in the streets pushing their chests out li…
stream of consciousness typed on a typewriter for a lovely friend’s birthday. / i love the imprints on the paper, and the added care to catch typos before they exist.
Taxi, she called / The night dark as death / The driver pulled in / And waited. / A lonely old woman appeared / And got in the car / There wa…

DEAR READER, I FEEL IT WOULD BE A MORE DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE IF YOU READ THE POEM AND VIEWED THE IMAGE THAT INSPIRED IT FIRST. THEN RETURN TO READ THE DESCRIPTIONS TEXT—-FIRST LET IT WASH OVER YOU!—DON’T LEAVE WITHOUT READING THIS, PLEASE! ENJOY. / ~ ~ ~ / Art: the red umbrella / ~ ~ ~ ~ This poem is based on & Inspired by & written for the RedBubble Group “Collaboral Damage” The photograph that inspired it was a collabolal work by artists Kara Rasmanis , Helen McLean and Jenny Hall . Kara Rasmanis wrote in the Photograph’s description: “Another corset city shoot with Helen Mclean and Jenny Hall. The Shot was taken by Jenny and I got to play with it in Photoshop….” / ~ ~ ~ / The poem is my contribution to the Group. A collaboral piece, if you will. I will submit it in hopes of its acceptance. The tale in the poem is fictional. So is the Restaurant in the title (I recommend Grand Chau Chow in Chinatown on Beach Street Um The Baby Clams in Black Bean sauce, and the chinese watercress umm – (Sorry, That’s why I ask you to read it first.) Outside of seeing this piece on Kara Rasmanis’s page,(via the Collaboral Damage group site) I’ve never heard of or met any of the three artists mentioned ans acknowledged here. My hope is the yet another Artist will gather the sum of these three artist’s contribution (Self included) and create a work based on the sum of all here. Not forsaking any information offered by the descriptions. And then submit this to the group as a collaboral work. All to form a thread of artworks growing from a single image created by two artists-working-together. And then ask (In its description) for this to be furthered including the work and description (you) creates. Or the collaboration you enter into to do the same. My extended hope is that the moderator(s) comment on this. And in anyway possible, promote it, or the idea of I at least. It’s all about RESPECTING the sources of inspiration! Thank you all, past present, and future. C.C Arshagra / JANUARY 15th, 2008 (Martian Luther King Jr.’s Birthday)
