How silence or expression stop or start here for anyone

My poem "Maudit" has been accepted by Not One of Us. I wrote it on a train in February; it is about chronic illness and pernicious muse myths. I am very glad it will have this home.

The Brattle annoyed me recently by scheduling a 35 mm screening of Singin' in the Rain (1952) at a time when I could take my five-year-old niece only to reschedule it to a time when I couldn't. It must be trying to make it up to me, since its new spring schedule is filled with things like Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), Heroes for Sale (1933), Debra Granik, and Noir City: Boston. I will see as much of them as I can. I'd still like my niece to have been able to watch Donald O'Connor run up a wall three times life size. He's her favorite part of the movie. I understand that. He was mine, too.

I must leave the house and deal with terrible bus schedules; I have an early appointment and then the theory is a museum with spatch.

My parents determined recently that Singin' in the Rain was the first movie I ever saw. So I got Cosmo early.

The man in the illustration is not the type I go for, but there’s something very attractive about him. Probably the coffee.
