Slipcover

At a ceremony, my friend used two teapoys and slipped red covers as them decoratively as Slipcover. They were in different bedrooms. It seems like a good idea to buy furniture such that they can be bundled for an impromptu gathering with the multiples.

She made paper booties as party favors for the baby shower, with holes and a ribbon as the shoe lace using the lower half of a paper glass.

For a kid to be between a smartphone and a tablet is to be between the devil and the deep sea

Curlicue

When I saw this painting at a friends house, a painting from the day before found a companion. This one with its grille background blurred the painting and the hanger. The flowers look big as the grille holds back. When you zoom in on the right flower, the left seems like a hand.
Th painting I saw at a relative's house had three red flowers standing up which was a stock picture but it gained a different meaning after I had sent some time on the s hand rail with a big comma inside the lower half and a mirror on the upper half together forming a smaller s like the joint was a bundle. the fancy curls were repeated on the right margin as a scroll and the red flowers itself were on a background of white Annes lace.

Light

A white chandelier reflects in the window glass as some of it with green branches.

Safeway has this medieval chandelier without the vertical bar and the candles above their produce.

Hold a paper in your hands, sitting in the car, let the sun reflect the writing on the window glass onto your paper like a secret writing.

Magic and murder

Klezmer

Initially I couldnt think of anything but this book in my current reading list. The hidden world of magic, selling your soul is a great hook to the reader but the book didnt sustain the interest. The writing style is good, but the stagnant story and general slow pace of the book did it in.
I like that the author wrote this book for her child. I have not read the first book. That could be another reason why I couldnt relate to the book or characters.

Baconian (Looking at the annotated Thoreau, I realise with my interest for new words, I am or should be an annotator), Thoreau says is not the way to go. Its through senses. The divide continues. Charles Simic refers to the Noumenon in Bric-a-brac.

A books wormhole

Last night, I was thinking about the fictional books in Fellowship of Alien detection and Lenny Cyrus. What about a character who writes his/her writing in these books.

Circus circle

I thought the ring in Three ring circus and the ringmaster referred to the hoop that the lion has to jump through. The word circus itself refers to the center ring. Imagine Moscow state circus with its six rings.

The above words are beautiful. The language works.
The tight poetry of some of the poems n soldier in lines paras wasnt inviting. Space, you are so essential.
Landscape with figures partially erased makes bold statements where we just try to grapple what memory does to us, the poet portrays our part in it too. Like The simile of wild carrot, you can feel the texture of the poem too. In an ad on TV about Mesa Market place swap meet, a lady is shown painting a huge carrot on easel and I wonder what makes  a person paint an ordinary object on such a large scale. Still life but also large. And if she were to know this poem, she might just shudder.

Wonderland of ordinary wheels

using stationary bikes for cycle training. A woman likening the training to previous era's horse riding
Yesterday I read about the stolen cycle bazaar and a friend was telling me about how he lost his phone and had to negotiate for what price he could get it back.
With a serious thing like bicycle tax, the pantomime thieves use the license plates for more cash flow. Tax plate checking reminds me of ticket inspection in bus.

How writings shows the self

Remembering experiment
When you are writing and realise what you are writing is ordinary, he choice of what you need to write is its won stamp for the future historians to decode it. The author dissects her father's writing of what and how he chose to write his memoir and how it reflects on the perceptions held by the writer.

Imagine a yard sale scene where your family things that have been usurped from your family are at your will o be reclaimed. The author's family on one side found their genealogy book.
