You never saw a pale so green!
—Philip Whalen
So I’m a user. I don’t listen to
Rachmaninoff whilst writing,
neither Thelonious Monk.
Talked to Mom.
Got her secret
for cornbread.
“Better to have an iron skillet,”
she says.
Some things should be left
obvious
except to me.
“Who says anything?”
“Lots of people.”
