back left pocket
Different people have different things in their pockets. Today, let us explore my back left, in what I call, Little Book.
Welcome…
Little Book is a wonderful place. Keeping track of hourly espresso intake while at work? Poor attempts at poetry? Work schedules? To-do’s? All of them live harmoniously here…
it is a place where immediacy trumps spelling & grammar…
where momentarily relevant Daniel Johnston excerpts are celebrated and scrawled frequently…
eves-dropping is acceptable here, particularly when the humorous parts are documented…
and Kurt Vonnegut excerpts are okay, especially when written after previously mentioned bad poetry.
Every good thing has an end, Little Book is no different.
Next week: Front Right. Oh, the anticipation.
I always right down ideas for photos too, but never end up re-reading them.
I usually write in my ‘little book’ on the subway going home (commuter rail) when I remember that I am a poet.
Great that you do this. I have missed dozens of ideas over the years. Get ‘em down!
