The project 3/4 over. May continue.
Thanks to Margaret, way home from the BART:
One 2 3 4,  pull 2 3 4,  gull 2 3 4.
one behaving, two tradition, three museum work.
Kalman on the screen, better than
Billola. (Viola.) Kalman says he's not art.

Carrying R's TV Box to the City

Sitting on a bench with a sign reading "OH,"
I sell boxes to put T.V.'s under. Woman smiles.
What is with these snakes and wires.
"We are info technology."
The OH box is in the aisle feeling awkward.
I brush its dust off. I do care.
I like the idea of a constructed TV cover,
Japanese lamp paper,
Illumined outline of an OH.
But by way of critique I don't get
the reason she applied nostalgia to the surface,
B/White photos. It's at once so
boxlike (corrugated) and yet not enough.
Angular when it wants to be a mass
of curls of a transparent skin?
I can't know the mind of its maker
And I don't speak in abstracted museum terms;
I used to know her well.
