recent successes in the Eastern Euphrates Valley
When the ancient fossilized organ resources cry out from the desert eroded past recovery or repair
and yet according to Mad Dog there are recent successes in the Eastern Euphrates Valley
and the sun going down to the West into the large water makes Arizona feel so near and yet so far
understood partially in an eclipsed way not yet fully

Number Theory
The tired gray citizen hanging on the Circle balustrade with his red metal cart heavily laden with religious and
eschatological literature admitted upon questioning tomorrow is his 61 birthday. He was sweating. "I took
the wrong route, those steps didn't used to be here did they?" Brother, those steps were never not here.
"I like this street," he said, nodding down El Norte. Too dangerous, I said, too steep, too much traffic, bad curve.
Also ditch the cart. The wheels are no good, he agreed. The cart was listing badly. I could tell he was not going
to ditch it. I proposed an analogy. Remember when those pilots flying back across the Channel ditched their bombloads?
The wheels were broken. The literature looked heavy. A towel was draped over it, a water bottle sticking out.
They were wobbling badly. Hot day I said with I thought sympathy, glancing toward the thick black jacket
he had tied around his waist, above black flannel pants, beneath white shirt. A salesman of literature then.
He explained he always has it tied back there like that. "Places I go to eat, I like to have this under me when I sit."
He said he was going to wait for the 7. The 7 doesn't stop here, I said. The 7 is dead, it will never come again,
I said. No, he said, the stop's right down there. We peered together through interstices in the glancing traffic melee
of postrevolutionary Marin Avenue, toward Colusa. Oh right, by the firehouse, I said. I began hobbling down the Ave.
When I got to Martin Luther King the light was red and the firehouse, eerily dark, before the dawn. 7, the AC Transit sign read.

Merry Clayton: Gimme Shelter (1970)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom. Gen. Covfefe made me laugh out loud. Laughin' just to keep from cryin'.
ReplyDeleteThank you, tpw. I must say, that Phoenix show took the cake.
ReplyDeleteAnd this weekend, it seems there's yet another pinhead nazi reunion on deck for our poor little pincushion town, though we haven't invited them as far as I can recall.
BTW it was entirely down to your subtle influence that I was motivated to escape drumpfworld in order to play about a bit in the NLI archive tonight.
Found a couple of great pix from the Wild West, Ring of Kerry ploughman with actual plough (1963) and a lovely street shot from Co. Mayo., c. turn of the (last, or prior) century
