she came from Detroit


When you notice something clearly
and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred
Allen Ginsberg

there was no call for alarm,
the smoke came from the barbyQ outside
so he called off the firefighters

from the word of mouth going round,
she came from Detroit
and loved to race cars


My mother had a great deal of trouble with me,
but I think she enjoyed it
Mark Twain

she said it was a self help book,
I asked where the keys were

no reason to get upset
it will all pass eventually

Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult,
It demands that you know how to draw well,
that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition
and for colours, and that you be a true poet.
This last is essential.
Wassily Kandinsky
