p.s. here’s a piece dedicated to carl rakosi:

POETRY: LET’S TAKE A LOOK
AT THE CEILING SAID THE BED
FLOATING ON A MIND’S SKIN

an uncanny quotidian hasty heart
would seem to have little or
no part in discussions about poetry
(ornithology not being birdsong).
no bikers riding pastel vespas.
here. john muir viwed without
guffaws: there’s always sunrise
somewhere. broad grin, long face.

acting out, scopeless , rangeless,
showing off. ending in ubiquitous
bloodless artificial plangency.
each may wish one’s conclusions
chorus education along with taste.
consider this about that’s not that.

I was Carl’s partner for the last 15 years of his life. He died here at his home in San Francisco, CA. I wanted to correct the date. He died on Thursday, June 24, 2004.

Sincerely,
Marilyn Kane
