"It is all a rhythm, / from the shutting / door, to the window / opening, // the seasons, the sun's / light, the moon, / the oceans, the / growing of things, // the mind... // The rhythm which projects / from itself continuity / bending all to its force..." (Creeley).
Ben: re: "Dig it" -- I'm teaching my students about the sixties, about which they know nothing, so I had to start with the fifties to give them some context. So yesterday I drew a beatnik on the board with goatee and turtleneck! I showed them a Jackson Pollock video and next week will show them Kerouac. Go, cat, go! Or as one of the Jets girlfriends says in West Side Story, "oodly-oo."
