Happy New Year-- as we brave a New Decade
30 years ago --
and they couldn't know what we know --
So much has happened-- for instance:
Globalization
I sent my distant love
the Moon
for Christmas
Turns out he had one
over there
exactly like it
-----

Where May Becomes June
After a while
the blackbird fell silent
When she next looked up
from the laptop, what passed
for darkness in a northern summer
had settled behind a much stronger light
now from the slow-moving moon

Seven for Lent - List Poem
It's Lent so I'm not

It's Lent so I'm not
buying Dinner
with Anna Karenina
by Goldreich
Arabesque
with Gregory Peck
Kind of Blue
with Miles
That Botswana lady
detective novel
It's Lent so I'm not
buying Sentimental Journey
with Doris Day
or the latest poems
by Hirshfield
It's Lent so I'm not
buying Georgia O'Keeffe
and the Camera
It's Lent so I'm not.

It's That Time Again
Lent in 2009 will start on Wednesday, the 25th of February and will continue for 46 days until Saturday, the 11th of April.
NUNS, we need to do our work -- or rather, NOT do much at all: we are not doing any Unnecessary Needless Shopping- No UNS = NUNS!
You won't find us out on a spree-- we'll only be seen on Public Transport for cultural purposes-- museums, galleries, that's us :-)

For Ankush who may have a feed from here
NUNS, I have sinned. And of course in Paris, that's traditional.
I bought luxury teas at Mariage Freres and a new book by Anna Gavalda.
(I don't count the books by William Gibson: he is after all the raison d'etre of my blog.)
Three more days, and we are out of the woods!

Oh no!
Two months away and nothing to report.
Work work work.
Study study study (but that part is cool really).
And a pic of my flowers this weekend.
Wonder if anyone ever comes here any more.
Going now to look up my linked friends.

Four Months Later
It's a good job Blogger doesn't fine you for not updating regularly.
I thought I would stick a bit in here about Second Life, since the author of Pattern Recognition, William Gibson, has a new book out and actually went virtual last night, reading from it and answering questions in Second Life. And it's all on You Tube!
He says in his blog that all he had to learn, really, was how to sit down in Second Life... the rest was easy.
A couple of my friends were there. I was detained in First Life, where I had to hand out laundry keys to real people.
