Homage to the masters of Weimar by Larry Fink at Power House books

The Cruel Wheel Turns Twice
...A metal rod
Exiting a tunnel, dropped in a gate groove.

Disappointment. And again The End gate
Opens and it's, Please
Come back. Please Be....

John Ennis The Celebrated Pedestrian

On the final day, some of the boisterous crowd broke onto the track to taunt Rowell, the Englishman who led the race. The two remaining American contestants, Ennis and Harriman, immediately informed the audience that they would quit if Rowell's pace was interrupted. They then clasped hands and ran a lap in solidarity with the Englishman, as the crowd roared its approval.

"In doing a memorial work I have tried to take particular care to speak from my own place as a witness who, while identifying with the victims, is reluctant to presume a knowledge of suffering not personally undergone. This reflects no lack of confidence in my imagination but rather a respect for the experiences of others."

Petroleum V. Nasby (David Ross Locke)
"...a type of the backwoods preacher, reformer, workingman, postmaster, and chronic office-seeker, remarkable for his unswerving fidelity to the simple principles of personal and political selfishness. To him the luxuries of life are a place under the government, a glass of whiskey, a clean shirt, and a dollar bill..."

Exactly.

"If Joan Didion went crazy, what are the chances for the rest of us? Not so good, except that we have her example to instruct us and sentences we can almost sing."

BOGUS!!:

The most well-recognized piece of music in the western world may be Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. The opening notes are as instantly recognized as Coca-Cola. But consider the diminutive white-breasted wood wren. Though unknown to most of the human race, its song is delightfully familiar. How comes it that Beethoven and the wood wren are singing the same song? Since the deaf composer presumably did not instruct the shy bird, perhaps the bird influenced him? Or maybe the similarity is proof that birds do in fact sing? Perhaps, but it's necessary sometimes to step back a bit, not presume that we undertand what music is, indeed to let go of the word "music" altogether. From this vantage point, the most obvious fact is that we and wood wren share the same world.

Not me, not now, but the night I broke my leg I had a goodly bit of wine in, not quite a bottle of, not enough to be causative, but a contributing factor possibly, that and the rotten floor and the bandana tied round my leg to keep the cuffs out of the bike chain that I neglected to remove when I laid down to nap.
Got up to go, went down the hall, made the turn to the bathroom - and there you are.
