Music of the Moment:

Here are half a dozen (and a bonus video) songs I'm bumping at the moment:


Adiam Dymott - Cars




BONUS (You know how I am about my female rockers lol): Adiam Dymott - Pizza




Mayer Hawthorne - Shiny and New






Dudley Perkins - Understandment





Jose James - Black Magic (basically my favorite new song)




JBIII - Pantyhose (instrumental...yes...the real song is the truth, but the instrumental is for lovers.)






S.L. Jones - PostUp

Hello Sir. It's Me...Margr...wait....

haha...


Now. On to serious business. It's been about a year and a half since I read a Wallace Stevens poem. As many of you know, Mr. Stevens gave me my life's motto (see: Man w/The Blue Guitar), so as my nose bleeds and my leg bleeds (two for one special....hold up...)






..............if I may pause here to mini-rant. This one is for you muffin, future psychiatrist (psychologist?...we need to talk about that lol) *ahem* (*in Bill Nye voice*): Do you think it is possible for a person to justify an emotional pain through physical pain, even if indirectly? We'll talk soon. Where was I? Oh...







and my mind wanders to something I have to deal with eventually, I owe to ol' Wally to give him first shot to provide perspective. This is me revisiting a few poems, snatching some sections I relate to in my own way at this moment, and tossin em at you all. Obviously I won't be explaining the meanings to you (a. Mr. Stevens would come back to life and slap me haha and b. Its me?) Let's dance shall we?


1
"Will say of the mansion that it seems
As if he that lived there left behind
A spirit storming in blank walls,

A dirty house in a gutted world,
A tatter of shadows peaked to white,
Smeared with the gold of the opulent sun."
- A Postcard From the Volcano

"Opusculum paedagogum.
The pears are not viols,
Nudes or bottles.
They resemble nothing else. "
-Study of Two Pears

"Of the two dreams, night and day,
What lover, what dreamer, would choose
The one obscured by sleep?

Here is the plantain by your door
And the best cock of red feather
That crew before the clocks."
-Hymn from a Watermelon

II
"I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three blackbirds.
.
.
III
The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds.
It was a small part of the pantomime.
.
.
IV
A man and a woman
Are one.
A man and a woman and a blackbird
Are one.
.
.
V
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
.
.
VIII
I know noble accents
And lucid, inescapable rhythms;
But I know, too,
That the blackbird is involved
In what I know.
.
.
XI
He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For blackbirds. "
