a day of it's own accord.  right now, the Goats are practicing an entirely new routine.  they go…

one after another across the new rocks then fan out.  some to the shed, some left, some right.  Ginger stays on the bench and pushes off all who come there and they go around and begin again.

the dove, repeats and repeats it's message.  same.  same and same.

Sun is on the Rim.

    It was ‘designated’ Earth Day–blink==Morning-coffee,computer messages–blink=afternoon watched as I moved piles of stuff around from one place to another in my confinement three floors up, windows open to fresh city air-blink-blink=evening’s poetry reading with the boys downtown and the feature player simply never arrived, but many pieces were read and tea was drunk. Then the boys went off to drink–I, not caring to drink, caught a bus home observing through the tinted glass the pinkish-purpley sunset through cross streets that show east to west perspective as it slowly made it’s way uptown twenty blocks to home, climbed the stairs, had some stew I’d made in the morning, and suddenly–blink=day was done…Your many many invisible basting stitches serve to make more concrete what is already delightfully conceived. It’s 9:30 AM Monday–hammer tapping on a brick wall below somewhere, pigeon chortling and a few cheeps from smaller birds, cars passing like waves, and work to be done.

    Ahhh, another one of your beautiful figures. Intriguing, how you slip in the lizard and slide in the goat. This seems perfectly natural as if they are a part of your artistic language, and tied to your daily life. Very grounded…
    best, nadia
