There’s nothing better than a book that smells like a white bra
or a string of mustard
All of our books have wet or dry food on them
Why aren’t there dining tables with shelves
Did Proust change me or did time go by
I assume a rule
hard work will be rewarded
Why compulsory sports
not compulsory daily poetry writing
You can’t put a book down like that
it’ll hurt the spine or the dog will eat it
A coyote visits my yard because she likes my books
and is okay with loneliness and fear
She underlines me with her eyes
If we’re all poets when we dream she says
we’re all filmmakers when we daydream
Love the idea of daydreaming being filmmakers! & Emma is reading a book with talking coyotes that are part of a military so I immediately began imagining one of them in your back yard- LOL. The book is Wild Wood written by Colin Meloy (who was in the Decemberist). There are shades of Narnia, but not sure if Gus would dig it… might be too fantastical for his taste, but I’m actually enjoying the book quite a lot:)-
“She underlines me with her eyes” !!!
I want to go to the school of Farrah always, now with compulsory daily poetry writing
wish I’d written “assume a rule” – it is my poetic process!
do dogs eat books? I didn’t know but if they eat shoes I guess they might?
another reason I may not be suited to try to keep a living being alive (3 boys didn’t seem to count/a miracle managed)
