Fragments from April Notebook


All my attempts at April Fool's were wish fulfillment.  I was jetting off to Paris!  I had a fellowship in Iceland!  Goodbye, goodbye! 

*

Called my grandmother and she said, "You look like a frail little thing, but you're strong."  

* 
My mind keeps walking the same paths.  I'm meditating on a bench by the Neckar with my mother.  My brother is a newborn.  We are supposed to see a lake in our mind's eyes.  To let the ripples come and go.  But I keep peeking to see if my brother is still in his carriage.  And anyway, we're sitting in front of an actual river.  


*
The ways of our people are subtle and various. 

*

Dream that Mick Jagger picked me up at a concert.  I thought we were going to be lovers, but he took me home and deposited me among the orphans his wife was caring for. 

*

Am I past the saving age?

*
Sign spotted along the highway: 

Best Bier

Stop Here
