R.I.P. Jim Carroll, 1949-2009.

"I sleep on a tall roof.
Scream my songs into lazy floods of stars.
And the sounds return, pure and easy.
Ah, this city is on my side."

-"Fragment:Little N.Y. Ode"
1991.

    i remember being a kid in brooklyn...cutting school in 1994 and watching the basketball diaries with my friends...taking a subway to the city and hanging out in washington park.

    he will be missed.
