Joe, I have never said that Art was pleasing. However, your suggestion of a 
 drink sounds like a great idea. In fact, I'm thirty minutes late. How time 
flies  when your drinking rum.

Thanks. "Almost" too powerful it is. It comes straight  out of thirty-four 
years as a cop and lots of very pointed observation.  Art isn't always 
pleasing, but it raises questions...about the topic,  about life and about 
ourselves.  (Hey, I'm teaching Lit. on the list.  Lovely.)  About now, Rummy will 
write and suggest a cold drink of  something.  Good idea!

Hey: (greeting that denotes familiarity)

Stan and his crew will deliver a Recycled boat to me around  the end of 
July.  I would put this to him, but I understand that he is  "waiting for them 
to deliver a straight jacket in [his] size," and I don't  want to add 
anything to his pile.  

I  want to put the intervening time to the best use in getting what I'll 
need to  sail on day-one.  I'd appreciate (from those who have been down this  
path) some guidance on things I'll need.  Motor & gas tank, I  know.  How 
about lines, fenders, anchor hardware, PFDs, day and night  warning devices 
and any variety of items you think I'll need to sail...not in  oppulent 
comfort, but you know: just friggin' sail.  I will have it on a  fresh water lake 
in NC. Many thanks.  And Here's a (non sailing) poem for  all to enjoy.

Joe 

Crush
JJ Camp

It  came at night; she half
expected murder 
disappointment  discomfiture

of other expectations
First: dark quiet 
reigned-in  blacker dream

dreams dreamer never
saw the crush
approached from  her exposed

right side, eye unblinking
fracture fractured  quiet
undone in the crush

the crush. She breathed hard
knuckle  bone against
bone, skin rent rendered

red under night’s
black  blanket, unconscious
rifted shifting. Bright

light in her head, the  crush
silent crush. She heard
something like television

snow  crackled then 
and then—nothing 
nothing but the quiet

of  nothing. She thought:
“So this is what it’s like.
This is  what

it’s like to die
when fragments 
of love crushed bone   

skull bone collapses
yields to fist and flesh 
and crush  sometime

after twelve, when children
should be asleep,  not
hearing, not listening

And this is how Mother
felt when  Daddy—
when Daddy 

when love in some disguise
some disgruntled  love drunk
love comes home too late

or too soon.         19 August  2003
