TREASURE OF THE DAY

Jackhammer jealousy
or hormonal hammers
whatever the culprit
it beat and chipped
at forgiveness
until all we had left
was rubble.

From my Journal, Book 7 (Yellowbook), pages 726-727:

Pleasant day, but warm, high 80s. Went with Hub to Henry's in the morning and Aimee's after lunch. Spent $2.17.

Want to get my poem "Tea-tottering-time" out in public.

Wrote a whole bunch of poems today (9). No access to computer probably helped.

Read Baraka, Sexton and two others from Norton today, making notes in blue ink on the thin white page. Felt inspired. Also worked more on my villanelle based on a couplet of Gwendolyn Brooks. It's become a poem about the drowning of New Orleans.

Even wrote a poem about my dad today.

Worry about me a little. This mania isn't all good. After the mania ... the crash.

Snickerdoodles remind me of cinnamon sprinkled dough - which I loved as a child. Although I prefer nutmeg. Also like cloves, allspice, cardamom, real vanilla. Herbs: tarragon, sweet basil, cilantro, thyme, sage.

Wonder whether Betty will be making Swedish meatballs this coming December.

What does f-shizzle mean? Is it like "whatever"?

I've been writing on my notepad less and in this journal. Today? manic. But I dare not murder my Muse!

OVERHEARD

"Not afternoon delight, chicken delight," Ray Welch re "What do you want for dinnner?"
"I spent the day at the hacienda," Robin re volunteering

SENSED YESTERDAY:

Sweet tuberose; the brains of celosia; the contortions and knots of catalpa; two ants dragging a green worm; tailgating; folding chairs; ice chest with wheels; blue and white striped beer tents; light gleaming off the brass band; a safety (two points); hands waving wheat; smell of barbeque.
