was out doing last minute shopping and errands all night.

the load out is happening; the volume’s decreasing on here…

safe journeys to all; I’ll see you on wednesday.


I just heard Minor Threat’s “Straight Edge.”

Ah, memories. The first time I ever heard that song I was tweaked on meth.


Eighties

I tell you, I barely
recall the Eighties,

so when “Vienna” came on the radio
it meant nothing to me at first, and I had to think
hard to remember that it was done by Ultravox,
and then I knew
I had been here before:

the way you smelled
in Lupo’s back corner
overpowered the beer on the floor

I gripped
the hard ridge of your hips
from behind

it didn’t feel
like Europe
it felt like the New World
in the arms of the Old

but then came Killing Joke
and then came Smithereens;

yes,
that seems about right.


almost ready

The first carload of Worcester poets left for NM tonight.

My laptop’s wireless function works like a charm…and my hotel goes wireless today.

I have located the flask I have not used in years.

I bought sunscreen.

Good weekend at school; decent night at the Hut; got to spend a small amount of time with my niece which made me very happy.

Two more days of work.

I may be back later…and then again, I may not.
