"STARS & ANGELS"
Being Those Who Offered More Than Themselves
In Contribution & Deed

Towards The Continuing Resurrection
Of An Old Man's Spirit

In other words...
they fed me,
they clothed me,
and they paid the July Rent!

and here it is october...

so far it's
Elton Burks & Trinity Valentine to my aid

Elton is a middle age black homeless dude who brings
me meds, food from the dumpster, and companionship,
in between his own frequent stays in the hospital for
problems that greatly exceed mine

and Trinity Valentine
is my very own daughter,
finally aware of her own direction again
and checkin' in with her dad daily

and that's probably all the help i really need!

yet the following have given much in the way of
encouragement:

Don't let the Contributor's List fool you...
Although many of the names listed came through
with substantial donations
($100 or more, or even larger art purchases),
the majority came with things like two-day old left-over
half-eaten chinese dinners (seriously!),
or they came and did the laundry,
or anonymously left $5 in an envelope in the mail.

You too can be creative, if you are not so
financially endowed...

and from the Underground e-mail list of 1400,
here are the very few who've responded --
some of whom i had to embarrass, guilt-trip,
and otherwise manipulate
(that is, convince that i miss them very much!)
