Most days these days are spent figuring my way around intention—my own, among
others. It was just the other day that I left a turkey sandwich at the kosher deli. I do hope
someone found it, but as it is the turkey appeared dry and the bread was too thick. There
seems to be something fabulous hiding in the routine of it all, but I am stuck here again
on these silhouettes. Lovely objects that push and pull in every direction; it used to feed
me but now I’m hungry all day long. Where walking and talking seem to be anything but.
Seeds, seeds, seeds that are only now beginning to shake. At least I realize no one saw it
until they saw the modernists, the surrealists, the poets, the mailmen, the cubists, the
dead. Only named animals receive headstones. Human tendency to constrict and release
on the narrow way to comfort, or nirvana. The strange space between objects exhales to a
different kind of perfect.

pronouncing above ripe Miles, tells me he will cut his afro the day after tomorrow. In the
morning, he explains to candid crowd that each installation has been constructed using
only weave adhesive. For a moment, think about what Cameron might look like with bare
scalp. On the wall, each thin piece of paper looks like it’s hanging by a thread.
Illusion, he says, is bullshit.

Moving has me thinking about placement but at least for today, I’ll hold off
displacement. I say, it’s too damn hard to think about it before it’s happened! Ron
Padgett says the same, where he delivers to us in the sun-filled room years and years of
arriving here. “I really did like the sound of words together, so I made them do just that.”
Someone asks what it was to grow up New York School. The student wants to be heard
by all the right ears and Padgett laughs and laughs. Schools of tiny, tiny fish that learn
something together and call it family. He laments that sleeping on Andy Warhol’s floor
was a rare convenience far from intention. Only the future museumgoer, the dog-walker,
the poet, the yet-to-be-born would call it just that. Think about how this old house will
look from down the road. Laughing at myself here and now.

way around men I’ll never meet. Beneath these dogwoods, traffic feels like blasphemy
might feel—far, far, far from the middle. Only in passing can it wax and wane poetic.
The newspaper and all those people who talk about people tend to make time their
business. Delivering moments like the mailman, the cubist, the doggone priest. Your
story is waiting in the week before last.

Among other great feats, Spanish actress Rossy de Palma’s nose has made her famous.
The face that shoots to fame is callous. When Rossy did it, everyone yelled New Culture.
The Cubist painting come to life, Picasso’s accidental masterpiece, she couldn’t help it
even if she tried. Almódovar cast her in “Women on the Verge of a Nervous
Breakdown,” where she is reborn the virgin Marissa: masturbate all day long in this green
velvet chair. Culture. “‘People with no noses,’ sniffs Robert Altman, ‘that type of person
6. ! V!
is the person who doesn’t find her beautiful.’”1
There is the type of person who loves
women so much he makes them. Taking and taking until it isn’t taking anymore, it’s just
breathing. A very exacting kind of love.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times in 1995, Rossy shouts to a room of reporters,
“Fame is what you get if you do your job well for a long time. Popularity…the woman
who cuts off her husband’s penis is popular!”2
Falling in and out of focus, the daytime
finds telephones that ring this kind of empty. On my own time in Spain: coming to
writing feels itself a revision and history is important! Making my way around the
museum and all its tiny, tiny benches— an accidental aperçu that doesn’t matter much.
The small room before Guernica exhales where Picasso picks up the brush and entertains
color, if only for a moment. Of 1995, Rossy says: “And this year specifically, I want to
do only things I really like.”3
If it were that easy. It might be. It was.
