out of me

noodle soup

and

your face 

followed me

everywhere

Quoting LIZA MINELLI

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

In approximately 1983,

Liza Minelli

visited

the office of

ABRAMS BOOKS

to discuss

a book 

about her mother,

Judy Garland 

 

On her way 

out the door,

she passed the desk

of designer,

Carol Robson

Liza said to Carol:

If ever I need 

an understudy,

I'll give you 

a call

Sunrise Does Not Prove The Existence Of God❗❗❗

Sunrise 

does not 

prove 

the 

existence of God

 

It 

proves

the 

talent of God

 

 

Ditto

for 

sunset

However ... A Message For Cyndi Lauper

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

If 

Cyndi Lauper 

wants to improve

her dulcimer skills,

I recommend

listening

to

Cyndi Lauper on 9/11

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Cyndi Lauper

playing 

dulcimer

at the 

9/11

Memorial

was 

a perfect companion

for 

the recital

of

the Victim's

names

Third Read Is The Charm

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 The first read of

Moll Flanders

is

the only one 

to be graded:

 

It was assigned

at the end of

sophomore year

at

Bishop Reilly

but

that conflicted with

three most disturbing words:

 

REQUIRED SUMMER READING

and

—of course—

I did not read it

 

Instead 

I read

the Cliff Notes

—cover-to-cover—

and 

my sister Lynda

read 

select Cliff Notes

to me

while I was on

the Rocky Point beach

and

my eyes were closed

 

My grade was

  B+

_______________

_________

 

The second read 

was fifteen years ago

and a page of

30 select quotes

is

still on file

somewhere

in my office

 

How much 

of

the book

did I actually remember?

 

Virtually nil

because

 

© 

If forgetting

was an art,

I'd be Van Gogh

then forget

where my ear was

and cut off

my toe

_______________

The third read

was last month:

I read it 

very slowly

and 

carefully:

 

By far,

it was the most

satisfying read

I am convinced

that

in the history

of novels

written

in the 

English language,

no more than

9 or 11

of them

have been 

more plagiarized

than 

MOLL FLANDERS

9 of the last 11 days,

I 

have listened

to

IT'S A SHAME

by

MONIE LOVE 

 

 

The song

moves me

in ways

I 

didn't think

existed

but

the shock value

herein

is

no one

within

911 feet

of

my residence

has a lower tolerance

of

rap music

than does
