The Radio Played Ecstatic Static

I never write about work but I want to write about something tangentially related to work but since I no longer write anything about anything just tangentially related to work (though TNP will continue!), I can't talk about...

... and even I'm tired of bleggalgazing though bleggalgazing is all I do because everything is bleggalgazing and everything needs said, re: the tremendous generosity of the Kind, the pettiness of the unKind, the serial categorizers and semantic quibblers, the smart and funny versus Isms' pedantic janissaries, those bullies we hated in seventh grade now grown up and still hellbent on being King of Anarchists, and....

....whatever the fuck I like though I never fully do, and yes, I did also say I was never ever going to post any more gifs without accreditation again.

THE SIMULACRA

D. Nurkse

They were driving into the mountains, suddenly married,

sometimes touching each other’s cheek with a fingernail

gingerly: the radio played ecstatic static: certain roads

marked with blue enamel numbers led to cloud banks,

or basalt screes, or dim hotels with padlocked verandas.

Sometimes they quarreled, sometimes they grew old,

the wind was constant in their eyes, it was their own wind,

they made it. Small towns flew past, Rodez, Albi,

limestone quarries, pear orchards, children racing

after hoops, wobbling when their shadows wavered,

infants crying for fine rain, old women on stoops

darning gray veils—and who were we, watching?

Doubles, ghosts, the ones who would tell of the field

where they pulled over, bluish tinge of the elms, steepness

of the other’s eyes, glowworm hidden in its own glint,

how the rain was twilight and now is darkness.
