The Elderly Professor’s Party of One
thinking only makes the world redundant like a bad summary of an essay no one is left to grade we’ve all been made, the bullets are flying tv screen shattering, Poe is turning over in his grave wanting to write it all down in his deliberate style cummings wants to leave out half the letters with his guile
present an awkward puzzle of separation as a gift to the old man divorced from his wits.. and we want to be in the courtroom watching voyeurs on lunch dates going Dutch paying with our own morbid curiosity to see the fall of the house of usher revisited as sanity is ushered out
and crazy is the present pulled out of the grab bag

Happy Bastille Day 2009!
Bastille Day is the French national holiday, celebrated on 14 July each year. In France, it is called Fête Nationale (“National Celebration“) in official parlance, or more commonly le quatorze juillet (“14 July”). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution.
