Give Me a Minute, Maggot-Swarming Preview of the Future

• I confess I do not know the rosters of the current Syrian civil war squads, 
• who's on whose team (though all teams hate the Kurds), etc, 
• I have no plans to do research.
• I've all faith anyone who's anyone is a sociopath.
• I don't know the boardgame ramifications of a complete withdrawal of US military in Syria 
• on the ground, in the boardrooms; I do know Trump's motives certainly foul (consider

• bet you a pint, I said to a Hillaryite Colleague, nothing

• kill-wise, Democrats (w Poobah approval'll)
• seize this as their Trump kill-shot.

• This Winter gonna suck, ruin two good pair of boots suck,
• and where I live had no Spring or Fall or much of Summer in 2018.
• Today is Zappa's birthday. I am not Zappadani - I don't mind when he's on, I don't put him on (except on his birthday (and then for selfish bleggalgazing reasons)) - but once upon in many stringtowns across Blegsylvania - and maybe still somewhere - today is Zappadan.
• I have no plans to do research.
• Two Zappa tweets each with a Zappa song and acknowledgment of Zappadan ghost towns went unremarked last night about eight-thirty.
• Below with Belew:

• Who will be the first podestaneera to suggest Beto name Mattis for VPOTUS.
• Someone retweeted a Digby tweet to a Digby new bleggalgaze, her observations like yours and mine.
• On mediocrities.
• A singular disappointment.
• On yellow vests.
• I don't think Trump is taking on the Borg: I suspect this is combo temper tantrum distraction combined with attempt to tamp down Turkey/Saudi tensions....
• but Fuck the Borg.
• A reiterative I. Hate. Motherfucking. Democrats.
• Not just a Durutti Column/Psychedelic Furs crossover band.
• I love Durutti Column, I love Furs, not enough here of either of late.

DEAD SEAGULL

Franz Wright

Seagull in the corn, postage stamp-size cornfield in the woods, in the middle of the state, and how you ever got here. Weather of heaven, July Massachusetts, the blue sky one endless goodbye. Give me a minute, maggot-swarming preview of the future, give me a moment. You can hone a blade, or dwell with a magnifying glass so long on a word that finally it darkens, is not, and fire in widening circles consumes the world. For a moment only, stay with me, mystery. Before you change completely into something other, slow cloud, entrance, spell, not yet remembered name, stay: tell me what you mean. A dead bird is not a dead bird I was once told by someone who knows.
