Way Over Yonder

May 21

Possibly a GPOY shortly because it’s now 100 degrees in my greenhouse and I am sizing up the available barrels and tanks to determine which will be the best one for submerging myself in.  Gonna be a long summer…

“Rather than live on in the hearts and minds of my fellow man, I would rather live on in my apartment.” — Woody Allen (via theparisreview)

laphamsquarterly:

What is a locust?Its head, a grain of corn; its neck, the hingeof a knife;Its horns, a bit of thread; its chest is smoothand burnished;Its body is like a knife handle;Its hock, a saw; its spittle, ink;Its underwings, clothing for the dead.On the ground—it is laying eggs;In flight—it is like the clouds.Approaching the ground, it is rain glittering inthe sun;Lighting on a plant, it becomes a pair ofscissors;Walking, it becomes a razor;Desolation walks with it.
Malagasy poem, c. 1950



Stay away from my greenhouse!

laphamsquarterly:

What is a locust?
Its head, a grain of corn; its neck, the hinge
of a knife;
Its horns, a bit of thread; its chest is smooth
and burnished;
Its body is like a knife handle;
Its hock, a saw; its spittle, ink;
Its underwings, clothing for the dead.
On the ground—it is laying eggs;
In flight—it is like the clouds.
Approaching the ground, it is rain glittering in
the sun;
Lighting on a plant, it becomes a pair of
scissors;
Walking, it becomes a razor;
Desolation walks with it.

Malagasy poem, c. 1950
