reader ...
what is a reader a friend or foe, an enemy or would be lover?
_____________
there are more poems in books than in these leaves
electronic as they may be they have their place
in the server somewhere a server of word and image of iambic and flesh of word and deed
a server's a servant of the human being
reader with books one more often than not infrequently knows
the
rolling reader rolling in her clothes rolling
in her bed rolling
naked in the sun on some city bound beach
where everything is fun
a reader handing your book hand held out as she takes yours or holds your other hand
as if she were a cop
arresting you for looking so good
'arresting' for being love's prisoner ~ .

Tenderness
______________________________
On the edge of tenderness it was where it was lost
by rushing ahead hurtle turtle head over heels
is what wrecked what might
have been
revealing too soon
saying too soon
too soon .

.. died ..
____________________________________
My friend Ron, my hockey friend and a friend in other ways too, died January 27. I spoke to
him twice on the 23rd and once on the 24th.
I'm not sure what else to say right now ~ except life's short brutal and brief
other times it's long splendid and
less made of grief
hahahah. that rhymes. anyhow, it's sad or not sad as sad's not the word that really says what it's left me with or done.
i mean it's obvious a friend is gone
he was older than I and had had
this an that operations here an there
but he was a great man
a good friend heart-felt

C.P. (tape recorder on) ... there are times you remove a posting and I was wondering how that works? if there, I mean it's obvious if you're not really happy about something you're going to return itto draft status ...
C.D. (a smile and giggle) ..say no more .. say no more... but of course yes that's exactly how
i think about it it's a work in progress at least as long i'm alive and kicking and have brains and breath left...
like bold to brass isn't and there are , say there are times, i might have written what i thought was a love poem or something like along those lines

w hen really it was not that, but an exercise and if i become aware of it i put it back in the shop, or on the floor and see what happens if i mix it up with other things right... it's not a book yet ...
C.P. yes that makes sense it does .. however you do say on one of your blog profiles that 'blog is publication' and so how does notion fit into what you are saying here...? right now just now .
C.D. that's a good question and you know there are several ways to answer it but for now, and I mean I do want to get back to it but for now, I'd say it's ambivalent enough and two sided enough that there's going to several possibilities ...
CP gets up lights a cigar & turns off the tape recorder . C.D. says good night, and off they go their own rooms down at opposite sides of the house . they share . and do not share.

___Section
_____________________________________
27 sections now written___ 18th section revised__onward to go.
did some tinkering with the first line and tried out a few small but would be significant changes in
the opening tone.
I've been printing the sections as I go along, testing them , then changing or adding or whatever doesn't seem to work gets changed. Does it work one or the other , and which one seems best is the one to go with.
My judgements at this time are mostly based on the sound of it, how the poem sound. Contrary to some or perhaps popular opinion
the sound fills in the visual element of the poem. Call the visual aspect the content.
the sound is the form (the horn ) of the visual which is the content i.e. the baggage carried by the freight.
i.e. the Horns blaring announce the contents (the baggage) of the train, the train is the poem.
