Cello. Can you determine the sound of a poem from its page appearance?

Perhaps, it comes to word by word. Remember words surprise. A particular letter following another can alter sound. Ask yourself, can you hear the timbre by looking at a musical instrument? Definitely solar plexus, the cello.


Jell-O, I loved as a kid especially the red ones w/fruit cocktail. A mixing bowl full of. Spoon it out – rounded by not cubed. Marshmallows – no. Mayonnaise – never. Jell-O should not be made savory. Some things are meant to be sugary.

  1. Funny that you mention

    cello

    my sister Pam played it

    at my father's second wedding

    someone took a photo

    which I have somewhere

    her profile, her face in black and white

    against the tall wooden neck

    a deep and sad sound

    she offered that day, and other days

    a laugh and many drawings --

    music has its sugar, and its prophecy
