The old tree has died…morning notebook…

The old tree has died—
She lived for seventy years
I hold her last apple

**
In general its always morning for me
Even in middle of the damned night

**
“What’s morning like for the blind?”
“It’s opportunity you dumb fuck.”

**

If I telephone you later
I’m going to say the same thing
The lepidopterist has bad breath

**

Canio’s laughter as rendered by Caruso is bitter and sinister. No one has equaled that laugh on subsequent recordings.

**
The freedom of notebooks:
No more diurnal hernias

**

Ezra Pound who was a loony as a bag of fleas
Said “The Metamorphosis” should be read
As a primer on narrative—
Poof!
