Straight as a Crooked Stick

Tomb of the Diver
Would I be shockd to find that the Parthenon colums are not straight? That some how the ancients were not perfect and that their striaght line was crooked? Entasis was a way of getting the columns to look straight. But why is straight aesthetic?

My thoughts on

La Limpieza

This poem takes you from the Limpieza de sangre to an instructable of How to turn your bleach stained red bathtub white. Or thats just this reader's journey. With a word like Limpieza, the reader will be forced to lookup the meaning, kind of like running around for a beg, borrow, steal and now you have spent some time for the poem. With that hook and images like dove-bone-dirt (When I first heard of bone dry is how I feel of dove-bone-dirt) and russet (red potatoes came to mind). With this tete-a-tete, the poem has lodged in my mind and awaits a knock at a further date. Thoughts during an ambulance blare are universal where they flow like cries between birds when they hear an eagle. JGApoet shows this poem as a filigree of her time-warping abilities.

Talking Words

Yesterday while telling a home brewn story, I made a mental note to look up  explain (laying it plain) and  explore (plore which it says is linked to cry out - reminds me of implore).

Agora

A warriors grave at pylos Greece could be a gateway to Civilizations

While reading of agora as collection, which I know as market, which can be seen as a collection of marketers and their wares, words make me wonder how we can go it two ways, sum of individuals or as a whole new individual.

Whose lunch was Gratis?

A friend
buys lunch
anonymously
for servicemen-
cops and firefighters
at restaurants

When it was time
for the cops
to pay their bill
The waitress said
"A lady paid for your
lunch"

The Lady only saw
one mans shirt
with POLICE
on it.

Think twice

before buying those tiny turtles roadside
Tiny turtles still cute still illegal and still spreading salmonella

The Unintented Utility

I selected
a mini  platter
as a gift
a ceramic one
with small and big
round alternating
indentations on it

The artist referred
to it as the
Soap dish

Her intended utility
for it
I am thinking small
squares of cheese on it

The width

I wanted to ask where the eyecare professionals got their furniture from. I noticed that other tables too had the same taper. These tables were old style with half side of cabinets and the other side open.
Next day a Macy's too, I noticed that they have the tapered legs on their furniture.

If its Friday or

filled with
pots of trees
all slanted back

A landscape worker
carefully folding
the jute blankets
that covered and
protected the
pretty pansies
from the frost
