Of all the things... Tonight, entering the subway home after a full night of back to back to back heartfelt and funny talks with a series of my closest and oldest... I happened upon this man -- a (for reals) poet with a schreibmaschine! For any price you may pick a subject and walk away with an original, beautiful, typewritten poem. I told him the first 4 things that came to my mind... The Sea, Puffer Fish, The Cosmos, and Whiskey ...and within a few moments I had the most perfect poem ever written on the matter. Artists are everywhere in this wide world, but Im grateful to live in a city where theyre so readily available all hours of the day and night. My life is an embarrassment of riches... Enjoy my friends, and Skál! Expanding and contracting To transform form Without changing Floating in water, The lost cosmos Which moves toward the real answers of this world But as I am not beneath I would be crushed by the pressure Before relief so I just drink Whiskey imagining a beginning and end Drifting back to a puffer fish again Lynn Gentry lynngentryprose The Sea, Puffer Fish, Cosmos and Whiskey Union Sq.
