The original intention of its making and propagating was obviously patriotic. However the feeling it evokes, now, has more to do with personal and cultural memories.<br /><br />Most commonly I work from words to images, but in this case I began with the images; and from the associations produced by the images the words then came.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-67809399896527688052010-07-26T02:11:14.753-07:002010-07-26T02:11:14.753-07:00just beautiful!

That was also my experience. When I was growing up, my mother parked me in the local movie theater for long periods of double feature watching, seeing the movies over and over, as you say. I couldn't have been happier and, upon reflection, may never have been happier. I think double features are now only offered by art/repertory houses, which isn't the same thing at all.Curtis Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-15899144977873700712010-07-24T07:04:32.463-07:002010-07-24T07:04:32.463-07:00I don't know if there are still double feature...I don't know if there are still double features. My early moviegoing experiences were entirely double feature experiences. There were several theatres in my immediate urban neighborhood. You could watch the double feature as many times as you wished, over and over.

Time transforms itself around me, making it harder to believe that all moments do not exist at once. I found so much to connect with in this piece. I agree that "no" is not a component, more a dreamy waltz that plays forever.

James ...Past<br />is past. I salute<br />that various field.<br /><br />James Schuyler, "Salute", of course. He beings that poem with something I've always found troubling:<br /><br />Past is past, and if one<br />remembers what one meant<br />to do and never did, is<br />not to have thought to do<br />enough? <br /><br />My reaction's always been NO. To have thought to do and not done is called regret, in my book, and, at this point in my life, my regrets are what I find most heartbreaking.<br /><br />I don't feel any "no" when I read your poem. This is beautiful.John B-Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041221232768939991noreply@blogger.com
