Captain Swing

Captain Swing After 8pm and I should have had a nap after starting at 4.45am and working 12 hours straight with more to do tonight. Miki in the hammockBut an hour loafing in the garden hammock with the LRB is the kind of gratification that is not to be deferred.

And here is August Kleinzahler’s friend Lucia Berlin writing to him in her mid-60s:

Seems to me the kids are just too darn healthy nowadays… get the same pleasure from flossing their teeth, jogging five miles or fucking and a shower. I mean, doesn’t anybody muffle sobs in pillows anymore? Get dizzy with desire in phone booths?

Friday we have visitors: the Perseids. We're meeting friends for dinner and drinks before planting our backs to the planet at Parliament Hill. Should be fireworks.
