this is a sign that used to live near me, it is now the title of Rena's blog and possibly future titles of hers. she writes about the above photo, "jed took it...it inspires my poetry...there are no white whales in the conn. river"
"Here we have the sign which inspired the title of this blog. It sits on the bank of the Connecticut River in Norwich, Vermont."
rena writes, "...here is a poem i made with lines from your posts that i particularly like..."
she clarified on her blog that "This poem is composed of lines from Dave's blog about impressive things which struck me as particularly poetic. I selected and arranged them, but did not change the lines at all, except to capitalize some letters. So I didn't actually "write" this poem. But Dave didn't write it either. This brings up questions of authorship, as does my spam poems and the poem I wrote from Marc's e-mails. What do you think?"
i love this poem. by Rena Mosteirin
Blessings
Sleep til noon when you can.
Plant the tulips.
How would you like Ralph Nader
to be characterized in our textbooks?
May you sleigh and fly.
The Hindu Kush, the diesel fuel.
Pomegranates. Juiced. Seeds.
Do the watermelons give me health?
A staple from a copy of the new yorker was substituted
for a needle, and popcorn was strung.
Are you John McCain?
Do you support this message?
