A Nightmare for a Nightmare Position

 

Knife, Fork, and Spoon

 

Climbing the huge redwood tree, out of the forest, at 40 feet I found a section of fence imbedded in the bark. I made a mental note of this, and illogically expected to possibly find a yard, and the house that was with the fence 100 years ago, but to no avail. You will find, when climbing an extraordinarily tall tree, there will be an interesting period of time when there is nothing but tree above you, and tree below you. The green green world is all branches and springy twigs and needles, you cannot see out in any direction. Should I go up or down? Is it possible to get lost in a place like this? How could the world be only Tree? Invisible hands seemed to press on me, and it was hushed & spooky. Then I saw above a growing light, and I kept going. I broke out into sunshine, and I saw that I had snuck into a royal garden of giants, all gently swaying for miles as far as I could look. With no sense of frailty, or doom, the tenderest of shoots on the tips of branches glowed, no deer would ever eat them. My finger tips were dusted in golden pollen. An eagle passed by within arm-reach, and gave me one look. Voices of my friends below were utterly blocked out, I could only hear the wind blowing from the Ocean. After this, it took me 30 minutes to climb down, and when I was asked what it was like, or where I had been, I could not say. All one could do, was do it.

Dude, I'm Sorry to Disagree with You ...

 

formality and repression
anger with all the comfort of home
at times joviality
sounding so strange to the children

hands moving in hotel rooms

drinking wine signing stationary

wish you were here glad they are not

vista outside of a perfect white beach

wind blows through the room

everything neat and paid for

from the 40th floor you see everything

everything is possible and exciting

either considering to jump or eat dinner

balanced in hotel room you know well

that one motion starts another everything

from that first perceptible accident

THE OPTICAL ILLUSION WAS

 

We danced in the snow flurries of April 25. I sang to you 'Danke Schoen' as we spun around and laughed quite a bit. Then for a minute, it was a real blizzard -- we clasped each other close, assaulted by snowflakes. I was barefoot, and you said "Go in, because you still have a little cold!" The snow let up, and we closed the door. I could see my footprints on the deck.
