Realized the other day that my bluetooth headphones with noise cancelling have three settings, not two. Let noise in, block all noise, and ‘block noise / enhance voice’!! So if you want to try eavesdropping […]. Goes nicely with this poem from adultolescence [pictured]

Turning the Corner (Over and Over)
[…] New Year’s resolutions just now made: /
(1) Spend more time out of the house. /
(2) Make more money. […]
Method of Divining by Seashells Who is to Blame
[…] Pour the phial of anti-sense in the direct center and remember to regard the magnetic chirality of the Earth /
The glass will shatter /
Carefully tune the polarization refractors until the shards produce holographic rainbows /
Place three crushed sand dollars in a beaker of indigo in acetone /
Apply gentle heat to transmute […]
You Can’t Crush Them Out (3 poems)
[….] Having feelings

You can’t crush them out; /
Not any more /
Accept the feelings /
Live with them without struggle /
It’s not depression […].

Scattershot Prompted Poem
A poem (?) I did at a writers’ group based on this prompt. Charley said he’d like to have it for the archives (which don’t yet exist) so I’m typing it up emailing him and blogging it. The book of prompts is called “Finger Exercises for Poets” by Dorianne Laux.

[…] the tricksiest of the Pixies came alive in the ferment & brought the lightning. […] Puzzle piece insanity is, in fact, something anyone can develop. It takes only some conditions, or some habits, or some different blend of beans. […]
Latest iteration on my business card + Excerpted poem “We”
[…] Punch in, punch out; as the weary depart; you are alert on the headset; she is shifting packages among conveyors, up, down, across slides the latte. Clinkety clink go the coins and rustle of crumpled ones, out of pockets and into tip jars. Brake, stop, go, the drive thru, the sausage biscuits. The scrubs and IVs and X-Rays […]
