from Shanna Compton : *
Post-Texas Expressive Heat
Your mother put a
fan in the oven,
he said, to cool
it down. That's right
the door is open
and on it sits
a little fan, blowing.
I am a little
fan, she says, an
ardent fan, a big
fan of yours. Whew.
(2)
*
Tumble in November
Witness this rapid gingering,
the jasmine tea green
and apple flesh creamy,
the tender risk of
paper sack to finger.
Yet we may shop
forever at the farmer's
stand nearby, your soul
(I know) a flue
opened upward and parboiled
pretty. It's true I
know you. You're just
alike to me, what
the laundromat girl (chic
doll she) can't see.

from Kenneth Burke:
Since war and action are both parts of a graded series, having cruelty and vengence at one end and the highest manifestations of thought and sympathy at the other, I see no logical necessity for selecting the dyslogistic choice of the Nietzscheans as descriptive of the series' essence. Dyslogy itself can be considered as but the deterioration of eulogy, a kind of regrettable by-product (for in the inverted alchemy of this "imperfect world" much gold id eventually transformed into base metal). Man lives by purpose--and purpose is basically _preference_. Hence, where we have an even choice between conversion downwards and conversion upwards, who would feel logically obliged to select the direction which implied the destruction of human society. ... or we might choose such words as _cooperation_ and _communication_ ... .
(235-236)

... this is one of those areas of human experience about which I had previously chosen to remain willfully ignorant. That's why I'm hoping you'll stick with me long enough to hear me out on this again today -- and occasionally in the future -- when the natural inclination might be to look away to avoid seeing something that we might prefer not to know. People in Diane's situation could use a little more understanding from the rest of us.

 from George Oppen : *
Psalm
Veritas sequitor...
In the small beauty of the forest
In wild deer bedding down--
That they are there!
Their eyes
Effortless, the soft lips
Nuzzle and the alien small teeth
Tear at the grass
The roots of it
Dangle from their mouths
Scattering earth in the strange woods.
They who are there.
Their paths
Nibbled thru the fields, the leaves that shade them
Hang in the distances
Of sun
The small nouns
Crying faith
In this in which the wild deer
Startle, and stare out.
(836)

 -- Tatangaya (Hornet) Katsinafrom Perspectives of Pueblo Folk:
The Hopi way of looking at the universe is quite different from our own and accounts for much in Hopi culture and personality which may seem strange to us. It shows that the conception of change in linear, cause-and-effect terms, common among us is absent in the thinking of these people, who see life in terms of interrelated, multi-manifested wholes in the process of metamorphosis, each according to its own mode, rhythm and tempo. Moreover, the Hopi concept of the balanced, correlative interdependence of the manifold aspects of reality excludes an arbitrary over-all dual division, such as that which structures our own thinking and forms the basis for our traditional ethical concept of the competing forces of good and evil. Duality in the Hopi world view exists only insofar as it represents two correlates in a reciprocally balanced universal scheme, and each correlate is conceived as an indispensable part of the whole, neither one being essentially subordinate to the other. --Laura Thompson and Alice Joseph, The Hopi Way (Haskell Institute, N.S. Indian Service, Laurever, Kansas)

 -- Ft. Wingate ruin, NM from Cibecue Apache testimonial on singing chants to sources of power: *
I heard it that some of these people who own it (power) just talk to it. I don't believe it, what they say. Our songs come from those things (the powers) and go back to them when we sing them. They give the songs to people and we give them back. That way, a power knows you are trying to tell it something. It knows that when it hears songs. That is why these people sing at dances. When a power hears its songs then it will want to listen. If you don't sing songs, a power won't know where to find you, it won't want to work with you.
