so far today i have.� gone to mass & lectored there
� made caf� con leche for our breakfast
� done three crossword puzzles
� re-read
the bat poet� cleaned off my
desk� read through some neruda & looked up a few good words i didn't know like
tr�bol &
inquebrantable� resisted walking to the store for a coke
et cetera but now that resolve is ashing away & i think it is time i put on sweater & shoes & coat, time i walked across the street for that coke.
this morning as i walked to mass no one else was outside in the cold & the sky was so blue so blue. & since i had accidentally left my gloves at home, when i went over the rosary my bare fingers turned to ice & i couldn't feel the beads travel through them.
a little later.
now it is darkening outside. the coke i bought is somehow disappointing. i am listening to "health & efficiency" by cinerama (just the song, not the ep) & it is making me weepy. when this finishes i'll go back to neruda. [And now suddenly we come back, alive: / we people the house and it does not know us. / It has to flower, and can't remember.]
