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.

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

I am thinking small
squares of cheese on it

Foyer Table
with tapered legs

The width
of the
foyer table
is the perfect
size of waist
of an anmal
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.

The color

It treads miles

Anonymity and Humanity
When a person is in the
oblivion you dont know
him
if he's good or bad
when he gets famous
then he wishes for the
world
however illegal,
inappropriate
only to get more famous
in an uncomplimentary way

I am going to call it a female as
The ends of the palps are not enlarged

Coaching in TImes of Crisis and Transformation
The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right name - Chinese Proverb.
Writing with insistence on knowing the names of the animals, plants specific aims at making you wiser about the world you inhabit.

Deep Fluted Cone
The circular steps
on the bottom
make the edge
prominent like
daggers turned out
A good building
makes you recall
both the starting brick
and its defiance at once

If we were marble sculpture
Color potrait makes me
wish we were all marbles
to begin with
like the white sculptures
We could then be
chameleons
then we wouldnt need any
makeup
And when we run out of
some color
like the laundry day
it will be canary yellow lips
and patched face
In the beginning, when the artist is looking how the colors are on a practice sheet, light color circle a bit to the left of a dark one, gave it a 3D look.
At 13:25, her nose seems like it is placed on the sheet

Countries as thought clouds
A cloud of thought
on an overturned
paper on an easel
We use those clouds
to box up something
we dont know fully
but want to represent
it
Borders of a nation
too
seem drawn that way

Paint Failure Dictionary
Paint Adhesion loss
A Two tone paint
Is a case of two places
Where two paints failed
To stick
Where two paints repelled
The surface
Fading is a surface effect
bricks and paint to flake through
expansion and contraction

bricks and paint breathe
The sun that illuminates the paint
Fades it too

In Verga, a jumbled pantoum, a reverse rubik cube where any move from the horror is only weirder.
Every word of her seems well strained. Most likely poems to be sent to moon, as they represent humanity.

Scattered at Sea
'The Dead Woman's Telephone' poem in the book makes for a good example of a line for Ars Poetica. Its at once specific and general. It resonated with me when I was reading John Berger's line on archives being another way of dead people living.
'Thoughts of Tree at twilight' is how we look at things and think things. Even in 'Bon Courage' when poet Amy Gerstler tries to guides us through the imaginary woods like a docent in a museum, where you are welcome to linger but there's more to look too - but you are there.
'but the forest is our subject, not this young girl'
That sense of being in the poem is what you should read 'Scattered at Sea' for.
The little squiggles on the cover are cute.

The Best American Essays 2015
I randomly started reading The Best American Essays 2015. I liked the middle of the essay on recuperating and then I noted the essay name in mind 'Strange Days' and went back to it. I shared it with few friends. Articles have a nice way of interlinking things. After this essay, I could put all the recuperative literature that I read into one folder in my head. Then came the close brush with an accident in My Daughter and God which brings death, old age, life into clear focus. After the miscarriage in Difference maker, I had to find why the mood of the book is so heavy. The anthology has finally grown up. Later when I looked more into the details of the editor, I recognised the 'Thanksgiving in Mongolia' essay which explained the leaning of the book.
Its one thing reading the essays in the book, but finding the articles online along with the photos that go with it make it for an altered reading. I like going through the titles of the notable essays that didnt make it and catch a few of them.
Corduroy
My daughter picked this book from the library along with three others which we finished reading, but with this one, we were procrastinating because it seemed like too much text in a small book. The illustrations are cute, the story setting very heavy, transformational like the love of a bunny for a kid making him real or the creator giving life to toys kind of thing. How we got to reading this book finally was after seeing Corduroy Trick or Treat at the mall where we were riding the turntable.
The end about the kid sewing was slightly unbelievable.
