It is a medicine. Nor do I believe I’ve mentioned a more substantial purchase ($60) the other night through FB market place of a hand-sown quilt, one of its panels with the initial of its first buyer and the year of its sowing – 1977 –

the p.m. purchase including a far out rainbowed blanket way too wild for the kid in “Peanuts’ and so far it’s dangling on a cool, straight-back, armless chair I bought for five dollars on a street corner a few blocks away – a chair designed for chair zazen and maybe Zoom koan rooms and even guitar practice if I get my butt back in gear there and – Oh, I don’t know, there’s Chinese poetry and drawing and understanding the new computer in ways that offer more computing than its current service as an indoor drive-in movie, and real to say the built-in speakers aren’t so hot, but, and thrilled with this, since I jacked-in headphones the intricate, dynamic, spacious experience of every luscious individual sound is breathtaking, and as it’s an add-on like attaching the speaker from the parking space pole on top the inside of the rolled-up window makes it all the more a bitchin’ drive-in flashback.
