Ithaca

I am a boat with its own wind: that’s how it is with me.

When I am far from my house it is no accident.

I hope others will mistake me for a simpleton.

It is easier to think a man a fool

Than to understand him.

Sometimes at sea you have to stand all night.

These thoughts are the keel: that’s how it is with me.

Sorry to miss you when you were i upstate. I am in harrisburg — and actually enjoying it. Learing about disabilities in new ways — with a deaf colleague and edinboro university that prides itself in dealign well (not sure, but at least they are trying) with physical disabilities. . . . they are doing a major conference in August. Michael Berube (because local) will speak. . . .
