A Sage
a sage
immovable
in the night
normally solid
as a brick
looks at the sky
and all of a sudden
doubts
his
impenetrability

Coffee and Tea 鴛鴦偶寄

Ice Watch
London is lucky
it's got money
Olafur isn't humble
from Nuup Kangerlua fjord
he fished out ice blocks
put them in a container
ship them like frozen logs
Watch a sky blue glacier
listen to popping sound of air
trapped, thousands of years
come face to face
smell nose to nose
touch hand to hand
taste tongue to tongue
grasp what's like
to watch
a piece of
milliennia ice

Tabletop Studio

No. 192. This is Not a Christmas Tree.
He rather wanted a tree--mostly because it reminded him of the warm Christmases of his past, when his children had been young and there had been a turkey the size of the family dog (he was a vegetarian now) and steaming plum pudding with hard sauce (no reason to make it just for himself). But he wasn't about to buy a tree that had been cruelly cut down specifically for this compulsory two-week period of mandatory frivolity. Nor could be bring himself to purchase a fake tree--made of god knows what horrifying space-age material--and then put it away in a box, like a body in the morgue, until next year.
What he finally did was to cut himself a tree from a big piece of packing-case cardboard. His original intention had been to paint it lavishly with convincing ornaments and tinsel--an impulse that, however, predictably failed him during a moment of crumpling lassitude.
All he could manage, in the end, was to haul his cardboard tree up onto the wall in a tip-down position and leave it dangling there. This was not some para-anthropological attempt to negate Christmas the way certain demonic cults mount crucifixes upside down during their anti-rituals. This was more a palpable gesture of Christmas despair, of holiday depletion. Hanging listlessly down into space, his cardboard tree hung there like a jagged tear. In the end, he couldn't bear to look at it.
