i think
i'm in love with
wikipedia
... been following the development of the article on
John
G. Roberts, Jr. ... a varied array of forces at play during
a fast-breaking story ... with the (to my untrained eye) more
balanced and professional approach to the entry becoming dominant
... when i first looked in, there were two sources listed ...
there are now seventeen ... good stuff

apparently
(according to who knows what secret source) this fellow ...
John G.
Roberts Jr. ... is going to be nominated for the surpreme
court ... interesting to watch the battle of the vandals at wikipedia

Poem Machines ... i still have pens and enjoy them in my hand
... i have paper notebooks full of writing that is trust me not
good at all ... but about 2 1/2 years back i started doing fyp
... and found myself making pomes every day ... i'm not an adequate
judge of their value for anyone other than myself ... but i'm
certain there've been more of them and of more interest to me
than any of my old paper writing ... i was just too damn precious
on paper ... still am

Arthur
Slade: Writing for Young Adults ... i've only read one of
his books ...
Tribes .. but it was quite decent

just stumbled
onto
nick's
ideas about ideas in poetry ... and wrote a quick thing at
fyp ... doing i think the very thing he writes about ... making
something certainly "with energy derived from the ideas tha[t]
engendered the spark of the [poem]." i felt that toward the
end of the poem ... so i went on a bit maybe a bit too far looking
for an idea ... that was actually mine ... and of course this
poem violates my prime directive for fyp ... that these things
resist ordinary sense (which i sometimes confuse with ordinary
saying)
excuse me i been reading
flannery o'connor all afternoon ... haunted by how she might draw
me ... because it is after all ... all about me

Illinois
Drought ... radio this morning said it's the worst drought
in 134 years ... pretty dry out here ... and yet the morning air
is heavy with what could only be called humidity .... is this
being sucked up into air from the ground overnight ... i wonder
how that works
