good morning…

Day One
Good morning class. Today
we’re going to be discussing
the deplorable adventures
of Franz Wright and his gory flute.
Just kidding.

The topic this morning
is an unparaphrasable logic constructed
from parallelisms and images
and held together, on
occasion, by nothing
but the magical non sequitur –
but the hell with that.

We should really examine
your life, the one you bought,
and what happened when you got home
and attempted to assemble it…

annoying…

Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear. It annoys them very much.

everyday magic…

I do believe in an everyday sort of magic – the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.

Keep your hands busy whenever you can and stay out of worst-case-scenario thinking. Touch things, nice things, like rocks or crystals or other things that can take a charge.
