Cafeteria Crush, 1971

-

 


We have this time 

Classmates in English Lit. 
Chairs adjoining. 
But now Cafeteria 
Eleven AM Wednesday. 
Warm coffee, tea, muffins 
And Neil Diamond, Joni Mitchell 
On the Radio. 


Intimate corner of the room. 
Your essay topic 
Has brought on the laughter. 
Your laugh is dynamite. 
Think about it after. 
My hand slowly creeps 
To yours, and holds it. 
You do not mind. 
Sustaining the touch. 


Next few days 
Hold much. 
And Friday, a movie.

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge. Robert Service poem https://internetpoem.com/robert-service/the-song-of-the-mout-poem/ Adam Gussow, good teaching, bluesy stuff. “Sloppy” stye is needed. Christmas tune And let us finish fancy with Buddy Greene. Incomparable.
