Bookends (Other) by INTRANSIT
Book. (N) A set of pages (bound) along one side and encased between (protective) covers. I went to the bookstore and almost bought O'Hara. ( Does he know this?) I pondered Pound. (It's all I can do these days.) Over here Joe Cool and Yellowfinch chronicle the Red Baron but don't know a damn thing about Linux. Basking Robbins 31 pages! (It's a bestseller!) Some-body wrote a book about how greedy Harvard has become. ( Good for him.) Could Beethoven Run a floor buffer? Pascal, cut his own hair? Shakespeare, script his death? RECIPE: One well greened corporation One well marinated c.e.o. Add one young c.p.a. A smattering of indecent proposals Wrap in 4 pages of numbers. Heat for five years. (Serves one.) I'm trying to read myself into a racepacedZimbabweananecdotalstupor ( I need a book about Tourette's) And we should all be so lucky to get ALZHEIMERS and forget the pain of confusion. confusion. confusion. confusion. I found a book of (tricks) on how to build unabridged book bridges. Sedition: The unextinguishable match. Where can I find a comparo between a firefighters diploma and his third degree of knowledge burn? All I find are pictures and instructions on hundreds of knots. ( I'd better secure my mind!) Or buy another book to fray the rope and send spars flailing again. STILL, I marvel at the brilliance of stupid genious. How to make money writing books. (How to save money not buying books.) Writers writing books on writing. " Okay, that's just stupid!" (Thank you, Will Smith.) No books on overreading or Terri Schiavo (They're writing that one now.) Periodicals. Monthly (.) Psychology today ( Knows what I'm thinking.) What about tomorrow? ( I want to place a bet.) Photography today keeps reminders. ALPACA QUARTERLY This issue: The thorax Next issue: The hind quarter Do survivalist magazines tell you to use the pages for toilet paper? (No, they leave that for poets.) UNDERWHELMED I booked next door to K-Mart to look at "Durable goods". ( I bought nothing) Picked up a local housing guide on the way out. FREE! TAKE ONE! I might move south where it's safer from meteors and Swiss made Atomic clocks. Come visit. I'll be reading about the reading habits of Marty Feldman While I wait for God to throw the book at us.

I'm not going to vote on poetry, ever - but I like this one. It's a bit hypographic and you should buy O'Hara.

I'm sure I will have some O'Hara at some point. Thanks for giving it an eye-sweep.

"genious" is genius. I hope it was on purpose.

Oh,see? Now you've got me second guessing myself!

That was really fun. A completely new format. quite refreshing. The alliterations make everything flow so the reader can just glide along this witty little ride you've constructed.

This is really new from you! This like Ezra Pound meets Lenny Bruce - really enjoyable and funny and letting its satirical teeth gleam. It's good to be abck on the 'ranker. The end of a very long dry spell has brought me back and it's good to see old friends here.
