dailies
where i hang my hat
i don't know why here rather than there
no compunction or need to travel
i like the world just as it is

last rites
the talk turned to how you want to be buried
me i said i prefer cremation
maybe my ashes scattered on telegraph st in berkeley in front of moe's bookstore
maybe they said you can be burned along with your favorite books
an urn heavy with the ashes of words and the ashes of flesh

my professor & mentor Howard P. Vincent was a famous Melville scholar. he was creamatd holding a copy of "Moby Dick."
nice anec, alex
burned holding a book...very cool
i like this
diary plus flights plus philosophy
plus bookfan thing
blogs are supposed to be
existential yard sales!
ah but what books to be burned with?
i'd have to think on that one
maybe all of them?
since i've surrounded myself
with only the books that
i love
even if that love is manifold
into a huge
funeral pyre
