Tense Intermission   Gumming up the works is grounds for preemption, a length of pipe stuck between gears creates opportunity, unexpected pauses create a bolt of doubt, corrections are anomie clarified, dance floors scrub away a footprint of patterned steps, Sting operations are laid, a fly stuck in the ointment, conjures visions of smeared electric blue, or a struggle under glass for the world to see. Embedded in hair beneath the skin, is a breath of  memory.  The venerable vulnerable.   - Paul Handley
