We Real Cool

The Pool Players.
Seven at the Golden Shovel.

We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.

Water bottles chill.
Runners strain the last half mile.
Skin burns in bright sun.

It seems very strange -
General Custer possessed
a pet pelican

outside my window
the wisteria attracts
bumble bees buzzing

O, Caspar Wistar!
I love your purple children --
spring's sweet scented cure.

slumberous windchimes
lull Her and the cats to sleep
while I think of lunch.

It's fantastic when I stumble onto a good blog. It's just something fascinating about the mundane being made interesting. 73urbanjourneys.com is a real treat:

the sociological imagination

C.Wright-Mills in The Sociological Imagination (1959) suggests keeping a file, a diary or journal of everyday experiences; dreams, conversations and ‘fringe-thoughts’. He believes such things keep your ‘inner world awake’ and develop ‘self-reflective habits’. (1959:196-197).

What this means is that you must learn to use your life experience in your intellectual work: continually to examine and interpret it. In this sense craftsmanship is the centre of yourself and you are personally involved in every intellectual product upon which you may work. To say you ‘have experience’, means, for one thing, that your past plays into and affects your present, and that it defines your capacity for future experience. (1959:196)

The idea blossoms.
Oh, I get it--a couple.
The beach seems too far.

Believe Easter is...
Highest Pagan Holiday
Brightly colored eggs.

(Yeah, I am just ruffling feathers.)

Winter has ended
leaving trees covered in snow.
Bradford Pears in bloom

Imagine my awe.
