Flexibility and the use of what is at hand.
Right now, I'm thinking flexibility might be a similar activity to editing.
I'm still thinking.
In the meantime --
THERE ARE NO BLACK BEANS IN THIS BLACK BEAN SALAD

to reach into the back
of the cupboard

she refused

in her need
for what was

garbanzo beans
to which she added
almonds
cherry tomatoes
apple, chopped
persimmon, cubed
handful of spinach
black olives, pitted
fresh thyme
olive oil
splash balsamic vinegar
pepper.
Under differ circumstances
she would include
oh, so willingly
cheese, either feta
or cheddar.
And into this mix
come tastes
varied
pleasing
surprising,
leading
to a thirst
for editing.

ReplyDeleteAt the factory, in a small town faraway,
the foreman had sunk into a deep despair
No one paid him any attention
and he had lost what stature he had previously had
Locked into his fears
he meshed perfectly with the edges
of the fears of others around him
And he realized his mistake was tragic
He compared his fate to the observations of Simone Forti
writing once in A Handbook Of Motion
"I think back of him in terms of laser light
which is so powerful not because there is so much light
But because light is bounced back and forth
until it is tuned." So his actions of suspicion
had brought forth more suspicion, and the note
left so carelessly in his apron, had mislaid the truth.
