–give me plain glass = JOHN FOWLES ... Music is the mathematics of the gods=PYTHAGORAS ... Nothing is more fluid than language = R. L. SWIHART
I cannot live without the oxygen of laughter = DAWN POWELL ... !!! ... But laughter cannot survive without the hydrogen of gravitas = PAUL OLIVERIO

Rest In Peace, David Hockney

THANK YOU
for allowing
two
"complete strangers"
to 
swim in 
your 
South Hampton 
pool
many years ago 
 
We both swam naked
but it was cool:
 
The strangers
were
trucker's assistant
[Bronx-born me]
and
Eddie "Bruiser" Robinson
from 
Bedford Stuyvesant
 
We delivered 
heart-shaped 
king-sized bed
 
While 
the strangers
swam,
no one else
was in the pool
 
Everyone else
gawked at 
Eddie's
mega-ton penis
while I 
swam 
ten luxurious laps
invisibly
around 
your pool
