as spoken w/ Michael Carr

if Homage to Homage to Creeley isn't the best title, I'm not sure what is.

The whole thing it is, the difficult
matter: to shrink the confines
down. To signals, so that I come
back to this, we are
              small/ in the rain,
              open or without it,
              the light in de-
light, as with pleasure amongst not merely
the word, one amongst them; but the
skin over the points, of the bone.

from "The Numbers" J H Prynne

in a nutshell

Ah long weekend, where have you been.

News:

Canon Tech Support blows.

Planting garlic this weekend. All that remains in the garden: b sprouts, kale, collards, cabbage, cauliflower.

Reading in Providence tomorrow evening, details below. Email me if you want specifics. Come listen. I'll be reading all your favorites.

Have you watched the video in the previous post? You should, it is hysterical.

Another Massey-Mynes poem. More to follow.

Been rereading Spicer with new paramour.

Refilling hot tub this weekend.

Good run at hoops last night.

Here is a Tieger-Oppen remix for you:

my secrets 
    poison

    everything 
is for 
    weaklings 
I tell
    myself why 
they are
    in any 
amount 
    I don't know 
every hour 
    inside your 
anger 

    know how 
know that 
    word by 
word
    we're on 
our own
    out the 
           door 
    it gets me 
down 
    everything has 
           something 
    in it 
not letting 
    it get in
    but this should 
end
