Tom,
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beautiful tour of the planet -- "I guess that means you can stay up all night in Finland" (Johnny)
1.21
orange edge of sun behind still shadowed
trees, motionless green leaves on branch
in foreground, waves sounding in channel
red fox walks across bricks,
how long was his tail
where did he come from, why
here now, where going
cloudless blue sky reflected in channel,
sunlit white cloud to the left of point
I've been with these all day. I approached them quickly at first, then slowly. I tried to decide which was my "favorite", which was a good exercise that allowed each one to reveal itself to me. They're all my favorite and I find each of them both familiar and strange & exotic. Even Levittown, which as someone who grew up on Long Island and became aware of Levittown (both Long Island's version and the other Levittown projects)at an early age, also appears to me as inevitable. The Inevitability of Levittown. I would guess that means more to someone from Long Island (or from Levittown) than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteJohnny is too right.
ReplyDeleteLet not the Inevitability of Levittown be an occasion for levity(!).
