Bedtime Story

Every night a man walks by my house and calls my name. If this were
a movie, his voice would sound like Spanish guitar and blue eyes and in
 
an hour and a half we would have a big wedding. But it’s only real life,
a street, a neighbor I don’t know, who named his dog Amy, and he says it
like a swear word
 
like an evangelist
like a drunk husband
like an out-of-work father
making a fist
 
and for a sleepy second I’m confused because I don’t know any men like
that and how strange to hear Amy! Bad Girl! outside my head, this far
 
from the typewriter. I wonder if there are other Amys on the street.
I hope one of them is not just learning to play herself like a toy piano,
 
or scared of her wallpaper in the dark and the tree outside her window
with hooks for hands, or in bed with a meteor shower she thinks is
 
the moon. Some night I will find her before you do, tie her in my yard
to a kite, and change her name to a lullaby. Then I’ll walk by your house
 
every night, and sing it.

Letter from the Countryside


 
Quite in the middle of nowhere
I have sought to discover
The extent of my ignorance
And am doing admirably.
 
A light-starved hawthorn
Caught among pines puts out
A few plain flowers,
And I do not grab
 
As once I might have have at
The analogy but let
The pointless sweetness
Of the fact flood me.
 
The beauty of abandonment
Is no mean thing:
Goldenrod growing through
The frame of a rusted Chevy,
 
Listing barns, fields
(And fields are people’s lives)
Routed by poplar
Effacing whole generations.
 
It’s forlorn, the children
Grown up only to move away -
But who cares for
Packaged consolations?
 
Meaning stubbornly luxuriates,
The sturdy American
Weaknesses beckon:
Seeing is believing,
 
Remarking is thinking.
I too am a landscape.
Knowledge is a gesture
Which all things make.

I may just have to go see this again.. it was so great 
string:
I recently visited Chicago for a printmaking conference and stopped by the Museum of Contemporary Art. To my surprise, I got to see and experience a wonderful exhibit, Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe. The exhibit was brought to Chicago and organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art showcasing a large collection of drawings, photographs, books and models. What an incredible man. He put it best by saying, “a designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist, and evolutionary strategist.” I am amazed at how he envisioned the world, how he was at the forefront of environmentalism and how he was an advocate for every man.
