downtown with the drummers sprawling in a corner of the pedestrian mall, outside in the night
it started hurting again when i stopped.
i found my notebook!!!!!!!!!!!!!i lost it just in time for my arts of africa midterm (most of my notes were in it, among my recent experiments with words and collage and paint). the exam is already over, but there is much richness in it, korean words i do not know, a lot of poetry, music, image. i was so excited i kissed it tenderly like a catlover might kiss a cat (on its head).
yeah. pretty happy.
it has been a beautiful night. listening to women read poetry in hebrew, persian and english. freestyle drumming on a bongo at random with a group freestylin downtown. i love iowa city more almost every other day. it hurts sometimes to think of ever moving away, altho that seems to be an inevitable choice. i guess i can always come back someday....maybe.......
falling asleep driving
i feel like i'm being flushed away
out of my body
out of the car
into a liquid existence
nowhere
here
my head throbs back up to look straight ahead
in time to dodge a car
was that my intuition, instinct, or just pure luck?
or SomeOne was payin attention
