a bygone Thursday 24 February 2005
on the unnumbered first page
on typewriter paper 8 1/2 inches
X 11 inches
turned sideways he scribbled to its right lefthanded
he liked BIG borders BIG edges
over seven lines he
wrote Im finding that while /I agree with
the Socratic /pronouncement man is a /“herd”
animal / I disagree “that the /one who knows” should /dictate lead the /herd .
. .
to the missives left was a forgive and
forget letter summarising “What happened had happened, and now it was
over.”
he turned the page upright
and what was now beneath and right of
forgive and forget which he believed now
was an attempt then to Let Go he
hadnt he did not forget
he did not forgive
in the small remaining corner he printed
FANNIES ---
SOME REASON ---
I’M PAYING ATTENTION AGAIN ------
HORMONES whoremoans
on the next page no longer printing sideways upper left corner he wrote PART DUO
evidently attempting to
number
WHADAYA SEE
an illuminated flaccid American flag hanging
from a round whitepainted pole
there was other
nonsense though not worth mentioning
on the next page written as the prior upper left corner he wrote 24 2.

swept up left curled down to an abrupt broad arrowhead and written diagonally coming back up toward

MIGHT MISS OUT ON
SOME FORTUNATE
JUXTAPOSITION
less
angled RANDOM
coming
off RANDOM like a tail on a fortyfive degree angle RANDUMB
beneath that assembly in the
lower left quadrant
the line written upsidedown obviously he turned the page
