brief thoughts and brief revisions

here are some snippets of some things that have been on my mind lately:

i recently joined facebook. i'm as suprised as anyone.

have you seen Juno? it's delightful.

newspapers never say anything. i spent a month in a hotel in illinois and had a free USA Today every day and was startled to find that nothing was ever written in it. i naturally quickly compared this phenomenon with other newspapers--the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Onion--and found, to my disay, that all newspapers are completely empty.

------------------------------------------------------------------

writers read their own work by writing it, and can never share a reading with anyone. for this reason they are always wrong about their own work, and can't tell anyone anything about what they've written because it will always be based on a reading that includes information no one else can share, and that, in fact, is not even part of the finished work.

this: a revised version of something previous

autumn
rains
loose
leaves
flutter

in the wind

round their tree
the drizzle
and blow
i am weightily
me
