My Interests



Prior

Behind the ambered glass of this
quondam farmer's abandoneds,
no more great flames: just flickers -
of cigarillos, waves, brain.
Kittens so far from clawed
their paws are sofa, bare
emblems of his own home-stealth;
they followed me, used-to-be
familiars but now wanderers-off.
I shall meander too. Among
the grain, I shall lie beside barbs,
wrap myself in wire. Fence shall fly
from post that day, knowing
no nail, enraptured and flapping,
billowing, in praise of winds, touching,
softly, down, where I lick my kitten feet. ~

I'd like to meet:

Jeopardy Category: Witchcraft and Structural Anthropology

Descartes as "Author"

What I find so fascinating about Descartes is how the "Father of Modern Science," as the textbooks call him, in fact, left a very sloppy legacy of paperwork behind him.  Anything but a clearly or...
