I have a lot of magnetic poetry kits. I really do need to play with them more. Do you have words on your fridge? What poem is there?
Title: Or maybe 42?
Text reads:
man
you manipulate my world
you judge
this purple dress
ugly
You need people.
discover delicate delirious plot
live by iron sea
ancient forest enormous lake
search the empty vision.
sit chant whisper
explore answer to life
it is easy:
make beautiful moments
dream happy eternity
.
(PS. Do you get the allusion in the title and how it relates to the poem?)

In response to complaints about the fact I’m too busy this week to blog. On my fridge for the last couple of months has been this dark offering that seems a propos at the moment:
Boy drives car.
Earth moves,
explodes.
Crushed leg and arm
blood
red water
bitter juice.
Scream to sky.
Take hold of the moon.
.
Leave ache
behind.
.
.
I like the ambivalence of the ending. I was thinking of people left behind, but I see that it could read another way…
