We ambled a moment after our moment to listen and watch that historic meeting (happy tears on both sides). As for Opening Day, I'm afraid for the Tigers there's nowhere to run. kkenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448791356455016794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-64525754156240886912018-03-17T07:52:12.751-07:002018-03-17T07:52:12.751-07:00For context

The poem came ...Jack and Terry - thanks my heroes!<br /><br />The poem came yesterday in an actual typescript in an actual envelope from the legendary dashing cavalier JG, whom, like everyone else worth knowing, I haven't seen in forever - but is my hero!<br /><br />I hope he is reading / seeing this. The both of us may or may not inhabit Electronica. If me, surely not much longer, for (Jack), this simply can't go on. The world - the death of me. In a way good riddance. But still.<br /><br />His letter reminds me of certain propinquities.<br /><br />He reminds me he was present among a small group convened and loitering with intent at Peter Schjeldahl's apt on E 3rd St on the sorta fateful day I got off the boat from Angleterre with swiss pharmaceutical LSD packed under my fingernails... except that, in the III class bar of the United States, passing the Statue of Liberty, a minor concern about the trunk full of olympia press pornography that was about to be offloaded from the hold... took aholt of me... and (none of this is true of course) I licked it all off.<br /><br />Making it difficult to tell the players w/o a scorecard, the rest of that day.<br /><br />At one point the subway. Linda O'Brien of Oak Park, RIP. Pete snapped a picture. My purple or was it pink portobello road tie with polkadots, my potato dyed portobello road hospital orderly's jacket.<br /><br />Long day it was, as Ted insisted on awarding me the Golden Ticket Cook's Tour of the LES. Garfinkel's Surgical Supply, upstairs of which Frank... and so on.<br /><br />Some Fiorello LaGuardia businesses & c. Before the Age of Busy, there was so much more time for inessentials.<br /><br />At one point Jim Brodey wouldn't peel off from the tour so Ted charmingly appointed a meeting. Jim would wait on the corner of whatever, I think it was 3rd St & B, and meet us there.<br /><br />Ted's way of ditching the baggage.<br /><br />And they say Ghouta was brutal.<br /><br />The other propinquity and though JG doesn't remind me of it, we hung out in Buffalo the week after a beautiful and innocent (??) stranger made the terrible mistake of marrying me, in St Marks Church of all places. Then Niagara Falls iced and so on.<br /><br />Brutal I tell you.<br /><br />This is fifty years ago this coming Monday I think. Simply can't go on.<br /><br />We listened to a lot of Sam & Dave, and then... nutty LSD eclipse viewing by no not the newlyweds but the very people who were about to drive us off a cliff.<br /><br />JG wisely loitered on the civilized coast. Surely he will survive us.<br /><br />Meanwhile Happy St Paddy's Day!<br /><br />Edmund - Don't look down!<br /><br />Ghouta - What can we do for you but wait and believe. Time may be circular.<br /><br />Kashmir - You beauties!<br /><br />Republicans - In what way do you differ from Democrats and vice versa? You both are every asshole in an SUV who tries to run me over on the freeway feeder. <br /><br />And on the Golden yet!TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-44263934276183018472018-03-17T06:03:56.723-07:002018-03-17T06:03:56.723-07:00Great to see (and read) a John Godfrey poem here. ...Great to see (and read) a John Godfrey poem here.
