At Daniel Arasse's2003 funeral someone came up to me and said he'd been looking for me, that he had something important to discuss with me, wd catch up with me later. I didn't know who he was nor did I ever find out. I often think of it.

I've never seen a boy called a 13-year-old man. In fact, I've never heard the words "underage man." HAVE YOU???

incandescent, lively,
with glittering eyes of silver-paper
watching us come and go
the little sugar skull.

It occurs to me...long, long ago I took a picture of John Dee's obsidian scrying glass (behind a reflective glass display case, I mention for the meta of it) in the British Museum. None of that roll (as I said, "long ago") of film developed. None of it. Why am I realizing the reason but now?
