Attended the Prospect Park No Kings march and it was fine but what we really need is another March on Washington.

Wednesday. Wrote a long un-Celan like poem. Sitting in the cafe with the terrible name but by the window where the light is good and gray. “God Only Knows” is playing and it’s true. Yesterday was all thorns and today is a pale rose (so far).

My Brilliant Wife and I enjoyed an impromptu visit to the Central Park Zoo today; amazingly, not a single animal was on their phone.
