"All ends in the joy of living.
All begins in agony.

Begin. Begin.
So that each moment
May be an end.

So that there may be moments spoken
Without irony.

So that you may be stabbed
By who you are, by whe
By the wonder of self-awareness,
By the awareness of others
And the experience of love."

~ Leonard Schwartz,
From "The Second Sense of Speech,"
From "Gnostic Blessing"

"Leonard? What's
A Second Sense of Speech?

And further, if one suspects
One has it ~
How does one correct such defects?

O, by the way, seen Leonardo,
Our meandering hound?"
~ Folly

Meanwhile,
The Wanderers wander circuitously
The land, the woods, the forests surrounding
Haarlem, Holland.

Their inner compasses, their astrolabes,
Off ~ Their Second ~ Scents ~ Sense reveals a few defects,
Regarding what each Wanderer
Thinks comes next.

"So I want now to do two things:
to set the escalator to the mezzanine against
a clean mental background as something
fine and worth my adult time to think about,
and to state that while I did draw some large
percentage of joy from the continuities that
the adult escalator ride established with
childhood escalators, I will try not to glide
on the reminiscential tone, as if only children
had the capacity of wonderment at this
great contrivance."

Nicholson Baker,
From "The Mezzanine"

[p. 40]

*

"Once, ca. 1983, Leonardo's paw,
His left forepaw, his toenail,
Snagged in an escalator, an ascending one,

Where the steps fold flatly, swallow
Inwardly, upon the upper landing,
The Terminal Step ~ After The Penultimate

One ~ At Port Authority
Bus Terminal,

Where together, we, Leonardo
And I,
So often shopped

For magazines, frozen strawberry yogurt,
And blewberry muffins.
Many stitches required Leonardo's paw

For his bleeding wound
To heal ~ A stiff conical collar, Leonardo
Afterward sported,

So he'd not gnaw
His hurting healing toe.

A Laughing Cavalier ~
My puparoo.

I have returned!

My claws are bared.

My teeth are sharp.

The cat is back!

No more nonsense from the mice!

(Or other cretins in this group!)
