thanks John. I've been reading Alice Notley a little
to see if maybe something might rub off on me..
it was like a little voice i almost missed while i was
coming up the stairs from the fab to do my passdown
and i just hung on to the first line until i could sit down.
there's something really melancholy about an evening
commute along the columbia river, not a single evening
commute but years of it. it has a rhythm, it makes me
think of 'naturalism' or something. contemporary
naturalism? in a 19C way? not sure.. they play such
obscure music. Hue? pronounced Uuhr? thx John.
