I wouldn’t try to capture it
on the page, or in a blog, the inauspicious

than the hum of streets, and people
who once walked along them.—John Ashbery (1927-), “Gravy for the Prisoners,” excerpt (Breezeway, 2015)

I stepped from Plank to Plank
A slow and cautious way
The Stars about my Head I felt
About my Feet the Sea –I knew not but the next
Would be my final inch –
This gave me that precarious Gait
Some call Experience –—Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), #926 (Franklin)
