Because You Asked About the Line Between Prose and Poetry

By: Howard Nemerov

Sparrows were feeding in a freezing drizzle
That while you watched turned into pieces of snow
Riding a gradient invisible
From silver aslant to random, white, and slow.

There came a moment that you couldn’t tell.
And then they clearly flew instead of fell.

About A Dead Man

Last Friday, I hosted my 6th show at Harvest Records. It was called About A Dead Man — and it was about that.

Three years ago, I made a choice to dictate myself beneath the reign of one simple rule — bow thy head and draw. Employ only that of the subconscious to mute said action. Exhaust. At the present vantage, I feel genuinely weathered — and since, both nervously serious and seriously nervous. I would prefer to challenge last Friday's Opening with a new title: Closing — A Sloth in Destruction.

At the show, I introduced a series of small books intended to mature more dependently active directions.

Blogosophy: The Entitled

"You're down to the bedrock. A boolean or integer value is the digital equivalent of a grunt. You can't get any more basic than a like, or a thumbs-up, or a favorite. "

This is following in the trail of Net-Neutrality, the Chuck Klosterman article, and the Tumblr outage...

Happy New Year!

2010 - not a terrible year for ye posting on this blog, relatively speaking of course... I'd like to take a minute to say that I'm very proud of those who recorded and album, threw an art show, improvised comedy, shot videos, etc... I feel lucky to have friends that all have their own thing going on. Thank you also for contributing to the blog. I was going to say, "Without you, this blog would be nothing," and then I got to thinking, well, I guess it's already something. I mean 900 something posts, you know? But I don't consider webpages tangible objects, so maybe it's nothing after all. If all the lights went out, where would the site go? Luckily for us it seems more inevitable that our future masters, The Robots, will use this site against us (depending on who is in power).

Today I was perusing the Boston.com's "The Big Picture" site, particularly the 2010 round-up pics. I was really captivated by several pictures mostly involving big, global news stories from the past year. Some were easy to see and soak in their beauty; others extremely hard to look at. Pictures. Moments in time, you know... This world is pretty nutso, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I was definably shocked by the more apocalyptic photos. Natural Disasters came hardcore in 2010 (so did unnatural disasters), and luckily none of us where physically harmed (which is what I was referring to by the "relatively speaking" comment earlier).

I wish everyone a Happy New Year.
