scatter : to cause to separate widely

            to divide into ineffectual small portions

ethos : a guiding belief of a people

marginalia and scattered ethos were projects in guerilla art - hand drawn/sewn/written chapbooks left in subways, parks, on benches.

some poems from 'scattered ethos' :

set your goals/know your path/the BRAVE/do not live forever/but (the cautious)/do not live/at all

TALENT/the ability or the passion?/you're so talented.why don't you do something with your talent? your talent is going to waste/...if i don't use it/do i lose it?/talent is a/luxury/.mother.may.i./indulge?/financially/viable?/BlogBlogBlog/to what/end?/what beginning?/play the system/capitalism/too late to fall/asleep/.the fool./i lack the FAITH/am still afraid/to/leap*

i never learn.here is my hand :

PATIENCE/is a virtue/i hope persistence is another/as i have yet to learn to wait/&in my haste have laid to waste/a forbearing lover's subtleties/i know i have come on too strong/but in another time&place/i would have written you a song/one for every single day/i love you/ETERNITY/let me number the days/first turn to me/i will count the ways
