To keep a Body Warm - Kelly Scott - The scene of picking sweet corn is evocative.
Rope and Wire - Patrick Robbins - What starts as a loony enterprise in the backyard about to take on a TV coverage has its little doubts in the form of a child's objections. Humor involved.

self study
In the minds eye
Memory's Hills - If you think you are recalling past incidents, verify with the coincident people.
Canonicity - This essay shatters Keefe's painter-of-flower image. With noticing things like missing eras in rocks, readers will make a mental note, especially those who find themselves in mountains, to read not only whats on but in rocks

Remember mousaka
Days before yesterday
The essay 'Family Odyssey to Greece' is excellent with diary excerpts from the whole famly. Its rife with sense of smell.

The Wilder life
Can readers become such big fans that they are taken to the books they read as teens? The way, the author revisits the books she read as a child just like Courtney Sullivan indulges in her doll house compulsion.
Vanity cakes.
The little house cookbook like Andrew beahr's Twains Feast or Chris Kimball's Fannies Last supper

Another Paul Theroux book
The tao of Travel
Donn Fendler
Dervla Murphy
In old Patagonia express, Theroux says that there is nothing shocking about leaving home, but rather a slow feeling of gathering sadness as each familiar place flashes by the window, and disappears, and becomes part of the past.
I havent felt this feeling much while doing the trips from school to home and back after each semester. But as the train approaches home, I cant contain myself.

Everything is normal
A fake cold

To make talk and swoon
Gary Soto's poem The dime-store parakeet reminded me of a recent visit to Animal zoo in Bordentown.
Mom sends the kids to
the zoo with 'talk
to the parrot'
Macaws dont talk, not
interested in corn or
popcorn
A white cockatoo
lets popcorn hand fed
son calls 'it gentle'
unlike the macaw which
made a 3yr old daughter
blame the father for
letting it eat her hand
A kid's futile attempts
to land corn into a bowl
above him and behind a
mesh bring out the evil in
a foreign tone mommy.
Cockatoo has some popcorns
and doesnt miss the lost
Its time to say bye
and thats when it says
Hello
we all turn back
In frenzy, White Cockatoo
lifts its crest
and nods the head up and down
I clap and the head nods in
fervor.
Later a video showed my head
nodding too.
