getup

restarted Guy Debord's La Société du Spectacle

This morning I started reading Around Sea by Brenda Iijima and Mexico, a play by Gertrude Stein. These books made me think about Tegner's insanity. This afternoon I took a walk around an artificial pond while looking over a couple of poems that Thad Pletcher sent my way. At least he's still alive. As for me, I think I'm ready to get out of the states, to start looking around Europe for a few weeks. And when I return I'll go see Birmingham, Chicago, or San Francisco. Things are way too stagnant and summer is imminent.
