    Impressive and funny, a breaking out of one form into ? scrambling the bars, facets re-tuned and re-framed into other bars, a playful Orff Schulwerk approach, a kind of zigzag roaming.
    Do you wake up with images of text in bars? I do sometimes, and ponder about the scape scope, the influence on my writing while surfing the internet waves through google loops from screen to screen.

      That’s a great reading, Ashen. Had to look Orff Schulwerk up, but I’m familiar with the Suzuki Method. And what else do I “wake up” to? The pun, John Cage (music, humor, zen (sort of)), layout and design of voice on page (there’s yr bar, boundaries the voice doesn’t recognize, the voice as seen, why reading aloud so important), how children think and act and play, the musical bar, or measure, texting, e. e. cummings, concrete poetry (design onomatopoeia). And the limitations of the WordPress post design, or my own limitations in CSL or whatever the computer lingo is called (Children Sing and Laugh), and Excel (the spreadsheet), which is where I try to build these things (and then paste into post using the pre formatted Word feature button), and the limitations there (in Excel), but also creating from those limitations, workarounds, but usually I just wake up to fog and follow the sounds down to the waves (today that would be in the basement). The effects of media on all this too, as you point out, screen to screen. And thinking, or trying to think, of audience, and purpose, and all that, which is important, after all, views and hits and all that, this and that. Anyway, up at does (the cat), must go let her back in. Later! Thanks for reading and commenting!

    Sir Lance and Phil Arful have had a big night out together. I couldn’t read a word- what does No Skateboarding actually mean? Thanks for your enlightening text, pity the sign writers can’t be that simple. Have half a flarf on me and not a lot more. I have just hadad an e-pip honey.B

      I’ve had an epiphany or two skateboarding. Talk about one here. On the other hand, too much epiphany can turn a man into a monk. But why is epiphany so valuable? Because of its doppelgänger. They can ban us from ball playing. They can shoo us from skateboarding. But they can’t erase an epiphany. Everybody must get epiphanied!
