a/c guys with a big crane & a big truck
hauled out the old & hauled in the new unit... they've been working
all day in the hot sun... just for me & the cat... & i appreciate
it... i'm actually getting used to the warmth up here... but it's
still a... mental unravelling... partly since i can't sit in my
reading chair cuz it's just too damn hot... so i sit on the floor
which reminds me it needs a vacuum soon... all these electrical
needs...
the new unit is about
ten feet tall... completely blocking the window of the room outside
of which it... stands

we went to the movies... hoping to see
Crash... but we got the times all wrong... theater wasn't even
open yet... times int he paper were for friday and beyond... o
well... headed over to b&n... books & coffee... not a bad
substitute... & we got to talk a bit too...
just now i brought the cat downstairs for an hour
or so... she found a cool marble window ledge & we watched the
garden grow for awhile...

looked for about ninety seconds this
afternoon like we'd have a good thunder boomer rushing through
with accompanying temp drop... no such thing... it blew... then
it stopped blowing... not so cool...
the
cat is coping by stretching out on the (relatively) cool tile
in one of my closets... jay's visiting... we're hoping to see
a movie tomorrow... i wonder what he will pick... since nothing
current chills my juice...

so... you see those few words i appended
to my link to s vincent's fine new "sappho" poems...
i really agonized over them... howso? whyso? some can post reams
of attentive insightful (evaluative?) thoughts on the work of
others... but i come to see that i hate it... i have the hardest
time saying something about what others have done... beyond "i
like it" & the sophmoronical "way cool dude"...
i think i fear getting it wrong ... these thoughts always reveal
more of the speaking/writing self than they do of the one spoken
or written about... i fear they reveal me to be... a fairly dense
fellow... a pretender... kind of clunky out here in his own private
midwest... (i find this an odd phobia for an old high school teacher
to have... face it... i'm just wrong... in so many ways) ...
end stupid angsty moment... must
be the H E A T in this room
