1 Roadtrips

I love a good roadtrip.

3 Room in Brooklyn

This
slow 
day
moves
Along the room
I
hear
its
axles
go
A gradual dazzle
upon
the
ceiling
Gives me that
racy
blueishyellow
feeling
As hours
blow
the
wide
way
Down my afternoon.

Anne Carson (2000)

1 Be still my beating heart! Is this the best FIFA World Cup ever?

Answer: maybe it is - plenty of thrills and spills and against all odds VAR is actually working in a seamless way; plus - mos def if England win the whole thing for a second time!

Short Talk on Major and Minor

Major things are wind, evil, a good fighting horse,
prepositions, inexhaustible love, the way people
choose their king. Minor things include dirt,
the names of schools of philosophy, mood and
not having a mood, the correct time. There
are more major things than minor things
overall, yet there are more minor things
than I have written here, but it is
disheartening to list them. When I
think of you reading this I do not
want you to be taken captive,
separated by a wire mesh lined with glass
from your life itself, like some Elektra.

Anne Carson (1992)
