Vessel Log: 2009 05 12


Well, the saying says / an elephant never forgets. – Neko Case: People Got A Lot Of Nerve

: two students approach the classroom, summon me over; “Every day, he writes for roughly eight hours on the public computers at the library at NYU (his alma mater).” Who has that kind of time in a day? Is it jealousy or inspiration? Maybe both, wrote Not Quite What We Expected;

If you ever touch a hair on their heads / if you ever look at them the way you do me – The Mendoza Line: Since I Came

Rain strikes moderately; dandelions on the front patch bloom, recede, and burst with shiraga heads; patches like sea urchins; spiders, some big enough to name, hide in the bathroom, under the eave; A. and I walk to Seize the Day but it’s closed; “Sometimes they’re closed like the first or second Tuesday of the month,” she says; We walk to Goyen, I’m clutching my pants to keep them up; we talk: over-reacting the swine flu; the way the homeless are treated; stop at 7-11 for more treats, we enable each other; glass of wine, The West Wing, and Roseanne.
