Stuck
+
Some things stick and are enough: as Irving Layton persists for me with “all this i saw through my improved binoculars” (although I mis-had it as “see”). Today the fragment that holds Richard Brautigan current for me keeps going through my mind: “and all watched over by machines of loving grace”. Maybe it’s the Olympics, maybe it’s that the Met has a special section for “black on black crime”, maybe it’s Ricky Johnson saying “I feel I have got the fucking right to rob the lords out there”: as if the Bayeux Tapestry were re-woven with CCTVs.
