Zero to Sixty

June 19, 2015 by David Trevor Quintavalle Leave a Comment

Forty years of commuting into Manhattan for school or work and there are still details to observe especially in landmarks as rich as Grand Central. Today, because there was a workman changing one of the bulbs in an overhead fixture I noticed these ceiling lights. Bare bulbs yet still elegant. I wondered if he was happy with the extended life of bulbs today—fewer for him to change—then wondered if that meant less work for him and other maintenance staff—jobs lost.

But our jobs have to change, I thought, mine too, and maybe I have to create new jobs—at least if I want to be a long-life bulb.

Finishing a project

June 17, 2015 by David Trevor Quintavalle Leave a Comment

Down to the last rows on a baby present. A cute little color-block cardi for a new baby. A soon as it’s done I will add it to the Knit one Purl two page.

When I get to this point it’s a race to the finish because I want to move on to the next project. My overall project is to knit my way through three plastic containers of yarn that magically appeared in my life (darn internet). I’m down from four containers so that’s an accomplishment!

Poem

May 15, 2015 by David Trevor Quintavalle Leave a Comment

Past sleep

A photo—yesterday’s fiesta—half realized
in its green frame
brightens the quiet line
that joins night and dawn—
past sleep, past perilous dreams
