An Amazing Blazer
Refilling his cup while he stared morosely into the knot of his hands
would have been some assurance that I was alive and kicking
emotional symbols. It forces us to recognize space as a nonneutral thing--
an open site with fertile, well-drained soil, where the tree will be
four and a half feet tall, and there was something seriously wrong with
a paper with some formula like, 'I want to raise some questions about
an imagined reconstruction of a program of assassination that
the lovage leaves as close to the small groups of leaves as possible,'
swallowed up in the rattle of insects and the harsh glottal complaint of
I think I need a change. A new perspective. The challenge of a
kind of stasis. A moment in which nothing happened, and keeps not
the innovative use of preservatives and mass production created
as a beleaguered and vastly outnumbered army waits for
distant kinship with that coarse, uneven, priapic imagination,
the coarse, the blind, the stupid. As effective as these
means of propagation: cuttings, dividing and layering.
