the benefit of teens staying up till 2:30 am on summer nights
is that they sleep their faces off all morning. I tiptoe around
on little mom feet, drink coffee, think, write and read. (oh,
that’s my work, for all those who think I do nothing.)

persuasion sway suede. some people say wordplay is not
interesting but i think it is everything for it is writing in the ear
which is listening to itself become itself, and therefore selfcritical,
selfaudible and aware of the others the proximate the adjacent
and imminent. and as you offered with hear her here it quickly
also becomes very libidinal, multiply directional, defeating binary
structures between interlocutors such as us here hers hearing.

thinking about how writers have always been derided for
wasting time in cafés. on terraces. patioslackers. And now we're
told it's a waste of time to be on facebook. But there's enough
that's new and intriguing about the poetics of this polyvocal
improvisational milieu that I feel I learn from it. Present.
Presenth. If only someone would bring me my absinthe.

on a six week trip visiting sites significant to my grandmothers'
early lives before they emigrated, one from britain, one from
greece, both 1914–15 at the age of 15. And thinking about
autobiography, self-narrativity and girls' changing self-
display practices over several eras.

each is a meditative construction that i
each is a meditative construction that i
build in realtime as i am posting; i compose them according to
the constraint of a lyric phrase that resonates within a variety
of thematic areas, which is then reordered as an alphabetic
translation, and then as palindrome of the original phrase using
its letter count template. point is it's not random, rather highly
dictated and yet the result is a wild unassimilable kind of
foreign currency … as a cumulative composition the individual
pieces gain narrative dimensions, invite oral performance, and
draw me into a deeper contemplation of simultilingualism …
