Shifting Sands

by Frank Paynter on May 9, 2006

Shelley has signed off Burningbird.  Julie Leung is going through changes.  Robert Scoble has cut the number of feeds he wishes he could read to about a hundred.  I may have suffered a ministroke today.  Ronni is moving to Portland.  Chris has cut off his pony tail.  I mentioned the cerebrovascular discomfort to Beth but she didn’t hear me.  So we progress deeper into our folie a deux.  Niek is off to the beach.  Halley has gotten so fucking precious I want to grab her shoulders and shake her and say “Get real, girl.”  There’s a personna thing that happens that drives out personality.  Suw was skirting on the edge of that, but she is so fucking brilliant that she’s allowed.  Ninety-nine percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.  I didn’t make that up.  Denise is a one percenter.  I’ve been experiencing so much ageism lately that I’m suspecting a practical joke.

Beneath all this there is bedrock:  Dervala is back with a couple of warm-ups and a beautiful pitch.

Hay que ir adelante.

Something from ze Frank’s comments:

Das Possesivpronomen ist nicht richtig flektiert. Ze. Ee heißt “in meinem Arsch” und nicht “in mein Arsch” (an dieser Stelle muß der Dativ stehen). Für alle, die mehr wissen wollen: {huge URL}
Liebe Grüße aus Berlin, John

Just to note the fresh batch of poems that went up yesterday at jeneane.net
Six poems… a tall one, a couple of wide ones, a short one, a couple of narrow ones, each one brilliant and complete.
