I think I had a successful foot surgery on Thursday. They sliced from my big toe down past the first metatarsal joint. I have some screws holding bones together in two places. I should be able to get around by myself in the next couple of days--on crutches. My bandage won't come off for another week and a half. I won't wear real shoes for a month. My surgical shoe is navy & white.
So if you are looking for me, I'll probably in my house. I'll try to be reading and writing. I took some photos of my crooked foot. When my foot is all better, not painful, and straight, I can get my crooked foot tattoo. This would be a tiny drawing of my old crooked foot placed on my new straight foot. "Foot" is something. "Food" is something. "Good" is something. "Goot" is nothing.

Red Hook: December
We had not expected it, the whole street
Lit with the red, blue, green
And yellow of the Christmas lights
In the windows shining and blinking
Into distance down the cross streets.
The children are almost awed in the street
Putting out the trash paper
In the winking light. A man works
Patiently in his overcoat
With the little bulbs
Because the window is open
In December. The bells ring,
Ring electronically the New Year
Among the roofs
And one can be at peace
In this city on a shore
For the moment now
With wealth, the shining wealth.
-Joe Massey reminded me about this Oppen poem called Red Hook. For you LCB.

Patiently in his overcoat

Street Fair. We are having a street fair, with food, garage sales, and neighborhood comraderie. It's on Fair Oaks Street (between Delores and Guerrero). The street will be closed on from 21st to 26th streets, and we will be selling stuff. It's this Saturday, May 10th, from 9AM - 4PM (I think). If you know me and want to come over and sell stuff, let me know.
Have you heard the Charlotte Gainsbourg's album 5:55? It kind of reminds me of Histoire de Melody Nelson, her father Serge Gainsbourg's great concept album from 1971. I've also been really liking She & Him, Volume One with M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel. Her voice is really awesome. Sounds like old country sometimes, and I think some of them are covers, nice warm covers.
