BOOK ZOO

Of a sudden I'm getting flooded with MySpace friend requests from phantom women. A washer likely needs replacing. Or the fix is in.

Many new things in, like books by Rod Smith, Tony Tost, Matthea Harvey, and Noah Eli Gordon. New Rain Taxi. I am 25 hundred miles too far to showboat at the UN, 25 hundred miles too far to make Dorothea Lasky and Laura Solomon at the Burning Chair Reading Series. I am tired, because I am human, and my scrambling bot is in need of a new battery. This happens to batteries. You can buy an adaptor at Radio Shack whose ratio between real power and apparent power leaves most people breathless, or moist. I have been hoisted on my own leotard; now the leotard needs laundering. Every day something arrives, something exits, something remains. Your dentures are making noise. My first hairs appeared on my calves.

P.S. I STILL LOVE BOOKS.

Me too.

I've commenced Das Städtelprojekt, a.k.a. Fred. I don't know how far it will take me, but just to be clear: you're in it. Meantime, snots of Fall traverse the trees etc. No one can keep anything clean (there are many garment changings). A minor character I may develop, may not, is mistaken for a basket and becomes the hero, if you can call it a hero, of an attempt on Basil's virginity, who's only read Pound and a smattering of Thomas Bewick's letters.
