About The Lost Pedestrian

In my wanderings throughout the moments/days/years, I try in earnest to find the mystical within the mundane and the mundane within the mystical, oftentimes confusing one from the other. I have wandered and roamed through many a city, many a town, in a state of wonder and bewilderment, without necessarily going anywhere. I am easily lost, but eventually found. (I am guessing you have just found me). My sincere hope is that you will find Something in this warehouse of thought, memory and false memory, words, numbers, tangents, murmurs, echoes (lots and lots of echoes), voices, dreams, and other paraphernalia.

Posted on September 19, 2012 by The Lost Pedestrian

(not) good at things

Posted on September 18, 2012 by The Lost Pedestrian

an awkward moment

Posted on September 15, 2012 by The Lost Pedestrian

What is the difference between a body and a ghost? I could not tell which one you were. The streets, the galleries, the bookstores, the pizzerias, the train platforms, the office hallways, the lobbies, the bathrooms, the bedrooms, the elevators, … Continue reading →

an oscillating consortium of bitterness and exuberance, resentment and humility, fears of hopes gone asunder, an anxious plea to the fire gods to extinguish such fears, a new dent on an old car, a joy in exertion, a numbness that … Continue reading →

The squall has ceased to be the cause of my complaint.

Posted on September 12, 2012 by The Lost Pedestrian

There’s something about the way the city is slanted tonight that throws me askew, even while seated. I first noticed this while riding the train. Every bump and turn, acceleration and deceleration, vibration and stillness… my body just didn’t react … Continue reading →
