SENSATE
This morning in the small "e" estate section of Oak Park, an orange sweater was neatly folded over a tall iron security gate, blue Ralph Lauren logo visible. The manse and coach house together fill the quarter-acre lot. One gate is risibly emblazoned "Deliveries at East Entrance": one could easily fling the package there with one hand.
To the neighborhood garage band on its ninth iteration of King of Pain: sure, there's a little black spot NOW.
On the passenger side of a battered pick-up truck, the ground was covered with a fusillade of cheerios.
HERR KEPLER'S NOTEBOOK
Time is the bully anchor of the opposing tug-rope team.
The person with a happy home life tracks glitter through the world; the solitary person leaves snowprints.
-------------------------------------
"The grasshopper warbler's song comes up out of the earth just as you think the day is quietening down. It has no prelude or warm-up: it starts midperformance, as if switched on by the dark, as it if has been singing like this beneath the earth until it was dark enough to come to the surface. As if, though we hardly hear it, this singing never stops."
