Refusing at Fifty-Two
Refusing at Fifty-Two to Write Sonnets
by Thomas Lynch
It came to him that he could nearly count
How many Octobers he had left to him
In increments of ten or, say, eleven
Thus: sixty-three, seventy-four, eighty-five.
He couldn't see himself at ninety-six—
Humanity's advances notwithstanding
In health-care, self-help, or new-age regimens—
What with his habits and family history,
The end he thought is nearer than you think.The future, thus confined to its contingencies,
The present moment opens like a gift:
The balding month, the grey week, the blue morning,
The hour's routine, the minute's passing glance—
All seem like godsends now. And what to make of this?
At the end the word that comes to him is Thanks.

Test tasting...
erik parra at johansson projects 'between currencies'  'tasting'6 x 7.5 inches collage on paper in his first solo exhibition 'between currencies', american artist erik parra examines the tension between the meticulously cut and the shredded with his juxtaposition of vintage pop media clippings and multicolored paper cutouts. the tangled layers of artificiality eminent in both the medium and the message- between black and white and RGB, history and desire, question the relevance of a search for american authenticity. |
