i worry about

Posted on By admindavid

Oh what delight to
Be given the right to
Be carefree and gay once again.
No longer slinking,
Respectably drinking
Like civilized ladies and men.

yeh, it is inescapable that Prohibition & Quarrantine have similarities
huh, maybe Capone & Kennedy were successful revolutionaries
but the venn overlap of Pro-prohibition and Anti-Quarrantine
maps the crazies
i worry about . . .

quiddity

Posted on By admindavid
To his followers, Keats is a poet’s poet, is the poet’s poet, a writer whose brief span compressed all the love, pain, and existential uncertainty of a lifetime, which the finest of his fifty-four published poems animate. He believed pain and trouble were their own education, “school[ing] an intelligence to make it a soul.” His was a rare gift, and yet his best poems weren’t earned without effort; early examples are uneven and clumsy, and for that perseverance and learning by shrewd emulation, we admire him all the more. His death at twenty-five trapped that quiddity in amber.
