I hate cats. On principle I try not to hate anything but I hate cats. Please prove me wrong, I've got a modeling gig coming up that has to do with clothespins and ropes, sort of an 'anti-dryer' protest thing.

You may not know, but most sock puppets hate dryers. I hate dryers, except when I'm on bounce -- whoo hoooooo! Then they're fun. It's a wicked buzz and a ride to die for, but many do.

Then there's the lint. Pretty stuff, but made up of ourselves. You lose a few braincells everytime. I don't know if you can relate to this kitty. You understand pain, and I think I do too. Nothing like looking at that ball of lint wondering if it was you. Kind of like a hairball.

So I hope to ask you a few questions about the clothesline thing. Where do they put the clips, where can you get colored ropes, because I'm punk and I hate white, blah blah blah.

Oh yeah, and yawkitty is a great person, blah blah blah, hangs with the captain and crew...blah blah blah insert adjective here, insert verb here - followed by juicy adjective/verb again, and blah.

slive.

Fearless among squirrels and beavers, and can tie a mean knot to boot. Transitioning toward the transcendental, all the while draping a victorian novel over the edge of the bathtub with a sigh.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!
I must say that I don't believe that I have ever written a testimonial for a cat with an online personality before! Being a puppet who sometimes masquerades as a piratte and now a fairy, I hope to someday have some escapades with this frisky feline! Will you come & play, s'il vous plait?

Your testimonial fairy,

Captain Puppet

what a wonderful wor(l)d: poetry du jour

The text for today is ...

The Spirit Is Too Blunt an Instrument
by Anne Stevenson

The spirit is too blunt an instrument
to have made this baby.
Nothing so unskilful as human passions
could have managed the intricate
exacting particulars: the tiny
blind bones with their manipulating tendons,
the knee and the knucklebones, the resilient
fine meshings of ganglia and vertebrae,
the chain of the difficult spine.

Observe the distinct eyelashes and sharp crescent
fingernails, the shell-like complexity
of the ear, with its firm involutions
concentric in miniature to minute
ossicles. Imagine the
infinitesimal capillaries, the flawless connections
of the lungs, the invisible neural filaments
through which the completed body
already answers to the brain.

Then name any passion or sentiment
possessed of the simplest accuracy.
No, no desire or affection could have done
with practice what habit
has done perfectly, indifferently,
through the body's ignorant precision.
It is left to the vagaries of the mind to invent
love and despair and anxiety
and their pain.


Anne Stevenson, "The Spirit is Too Blunt an Instrument" from Poems 1955-2005. Copyright © 2005 by Anne Stevenson.

Urgent missives from the unconscious

Stuff I wish I’d written. Adam Gopnik in the The New Yorker (“The Real Work, Modern Magic and the Meaning of Life,” March 17, 2008):

“Of all the arguments that can preoccupy the mindful magician, the most important involves what is called the Too Perfect theory. Jamy Ian Swiss has written about it often. Presaged by [Dai] Vernon himself, and formalized by the illusionist Rick Johnsson in a 1971 article, the Too Perfect theory says, basically, that any trick that simply astounds will give ... read more

There is nothing that exposes my brain for the sluggish, cranky, middle-aged curmudgeon it's become like studying for a test. Oboy, a test! Yeah, my first anatomy test. And because I'm no longer 20, by a long, long shot, the stomach bug from last week laid me out way longer than it once would have, when youth would spring me back into the fray from whatever befell, quick-quick. No, it laid me out, and everything that went undone last week while I reclined, inert of mind and body, slid into th... read more

Some friends just moved by bike. Not entirely by bike, a pickup truck was drafted to help with a refrigerator and some other big heavy objects. But it was wonderful to see the rangy, lanky Tom pulling away from the curb with the massive hide-a-bed sofa riding a trailer behind him.

The move, about 17 blocks between Southeast and Northeast Portland near 82nd Avenue, was engineered by members of an ever-metamorphosing group called Shift to Bikes, and they were all volunteers. Sixteen of them... read more
