K.C. James Swain aka Sparky Swain

by K.C. James Swain I am from Portland, Oregon, where graffiti is the poetry of the city and food carts are the treasure map to my soul. I am from loud people, story tellers, street brawlers, sweet lovers, jokesters, gossipers, Black Sheep's and Gypsy Wisdom. I am from addictions that will not take root in me. I am from sad songs and even darker woods. I am from North Dakota, Russia, Norway, Mexico, Germany, Montana, California, North Western Europe and Ellis Island. Look at my face and tell me where I come from. My people have crisscrossed the globe and their maps are laced in my genetics. I am from ball fields, weight rooms, sport courts, oceans, rivers, lakes, campgrounds and trail heads. I am from the sounds of soul, blues, rock and roll. I am from big bass drums and street diction. I am from cross country road trips, muscle cars and speeding when no one is looking.
