Letter to a student who wants the credentials.

“Reading Milton is like dining off gold plate in a company of kings; very splendid; very ceremonious, and not a little appalling.” —Alexander Smith, Dreamthorp (1863)

Cheerful Melancholia.

lilac-pink, turquoise sunrise
runing for my life
crossing barricades

i have to imagine the burning

poundcheap & pennywise
painting my exile in shades
of sundry unreturning
lilac-pink, turquoise loaf

men in hot lime vests

by the shattered overpass
working
this is no time for parking
the bitter versts
skelping, the bitter peace

My Attorney Picked by a Head Shot.
