Meeting Hiram Binginham
Hiram Bingingham plausibly denied
Meeting Jerry Seinfeld on a subway.
Mortified Norman Mailer once replied
To a text from Twyla Tharp: the rub way.
In Vegas, Frank Sinatra is singing
To the wax Barack Obama statue.
And it’s A. J. Liebling who is bringing
His good friend Danny Pilsener, his “plus two”.
Meanwhile, Kevin Naughton exercises
With friend Arlene Croce, stirring passion
In Billy Joel, who this time surprises
Mikhail Baryshnikov with High Fashion.
Old Bartleby is a scribbler, like me.
Rusty Miller is a dancer, so free.
Rendro allyoop. We regard this day. Allen fried potatoes. Ane Brun sang Schubertiad. With harmony from Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
A poem for today:
Sideways Versions
Sideways versions of soap opera pardons:
Dedalus and Calypso, languishing
In Ithaca, are brought to environs
Of broguish silence, even as they sing.
In this way they practice a better way
Of being, in magnitude with the stars…
A decent man, named Bloom, is set to play
A significant role, driving the car.
Practical portals, for internal feuds,
Bring Dedalus and Calypso to Bloom–
Joining as passengers in his car, dude.
And goddess, with the artist Leo Bloom!
Architect of archetypes, Mister Joyce staged
A novel of a day, filled many page.
