"I should have spent more time just staring at the finches on the line, or should I say listening. I should have listened more to the made up language my daughters babbled so many years ago,

A new caregiving essay.
"Really, how many of us have spent the entire weekend in one pair of sweatpants, lounging around the house, putting off chores, or nursing a recent breakup." @SeanLemonhead writes about his experiences at work, a residential facility for traumatic brain injuries. Link in thread.

One of the dumbest things Perk has uttered and ignores the fact that many of the Cavs problems are that the Knicks are really good.

"The Cavs are an embarrassment to the NBA. And if I'm Adam Silver, I would think about fining them for the performance and the effort they're displaying on the floor" – Kendrick Perkins

Found this in my notebook: ‘Somedays the writing isn’t the writing it’s getting the laundry done…/ A few daily words will attach themselves to you, and not today but tomorrow, or the next they will fall off you and become sentences.” #SeanThomasDougherty

Here's a Bill Furey prose poem throw-back post from April 2022.
11 Apr 2022
Here's "Visitors of Anger," by Bill Furey. Taken from Robert Allen's 1987 anthology of Canadian prose poems, The Lyric Paragraph. I confess to knowing very little about Furey as a poet, apart from the fact that he published one full-length collection in 1984 (Night Letters).

Here are two poems by Anne Hussey (1934-?), taken from her only book of poems, Baddeck and other poems (1978). She's mentioned at least once (favorably) in the Lowell / Bishop correspondence, but there's little else I could find about her.

I can't believe the Cavs/Pistons game isn't on a regular channel. Peacock? Not cool. #nba #nbaplayoffs #cavs #pistons

I have a new essay up at SoFloPoJo:
"Your father needs help, he’s at the end of the driveway.”
It is my mother-in-law calling out. My wife thinks her father has fallen, and my wife and I come running.
