happy birthday Jerry and Melville

Just talking and reciting the lyrics of Grateful in black and white

Hello everybody,

Happy August I am still battling a bit with jet lag but all is well. Just saying hello and saluting Jerry and Hermann on their birthdays, with gratitude for their good works.

One common wire one silver thread

A couple of suggestions. If you like Instagram, one of our subscribers @fredericward, posts lovely meditations and pictures on the occasions of the birth or passing of many of our beloved poets, artists, activists and friends. Today he honors both of them. Also today on Rimbaud’s Lost Papers olivertompkinsray@substack.com Oliver Ray gives us a rare glimpse of the book he is writing, all his posts are illuminating.

I will be writing more soon, I am finishing another little poem to send my subscribers. It’s very hot in the city today, so I am sticking around, listening to the Grateful Dead and perhaps reread a few chapters of Billy Budd.
