Just Walking Around by John Ashbery
What name do I have for you? Certainly there is not name for you In the sense that the stars have names That somehow fit them. Just walking around, An object of curiosity to some, But you are too preoccupied By the secret smudge in the back of your soul To say much and wander around, Smiling to yourself and others. It gets to be kind of lonely But at the same time off-putting. Counterproductive,...
There used to be a time when i didn’t believe in fate.
I mean, I still don’t.
That is not to say that I believe that the universe was begat from chaos and swirling sparks and silent explosions of color and light, whatever light is anyway.
I just don’t believe that “everything happens for a reason,” as some (my mother) would say.
But recently I have been more...

ALSO, Gasland premiers tonight.
I’m just digging HBO all around this summer.

I’m sitting here in my cubicle and I can still smell the residual chlorine and coppertone on my jeans from Saturday. As we peeled off our bathing suits in the sweltering parking lot filled to capacity, i tried my hardest not to touch the truck parked next to mine. One false move and my skin would fry like fatty bacon on the nearby steaming metal.
Ok, maybe not fry, but it would leave a mark...

The Library
After working with Primary sources at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, I have a new found respect and appreciation for libraries. I guess holding and reading a hand written letter from WB Yeats to the SL Mathers of the Golden Dawn will do that to you. (I’m talking legitimately handwritten, in ink and everything. There were even smudges!)
