for Michel Simard
predisp. to soothe
in a state of potent.
needless course correction
. . . . . .
a significant transformation
that, maybe just because it’s
a transformation, also affects
a stricture that has its own,
independent
likes and dislikes.
. . . . . .
exhausting also exhausts rejuvenation
like that I can still hardly believe
predictably reenvisioning balance
. . . . . .
your instructions are to cultivate
an easy and familiar competence
in hunting for information in
recognition
the values of a place
come
to characterize
points of interest
that
are happening nearby
