to add a new post here.

I do the ones that go along with the poems, of course. That’s a given. And as such, it’s a pretty much reflexive process; it requires a little effort, but it becomes easier with time.

But things like this, that just tag along with a slow lope connected to a prose piece, are hard as hell.

For instance — I wanted to write a piece about WERS in Boston. I wanted to talk about a piece related to Lyle Lovett’s “If I Had A Boat” and tie it into how I felt near-tears in writing about it, about how writing an appreciation piece for the cleverness and difficulty of the song had become so difficult in the wake of the strokes…

and then it was gone. This doesn’t come close to it.

I don’t know how you would formally express thanks on this format. Seventy-four or five of you are formally signed up to do so, but I lose the thread quickly in explaining it. I’m sorry.

That’s it for now.
