Too busy this past weekend in the city and right now with end of semester chores to post much, but check out Nicole\u2019s Collectages<\/a> blog: as a further installment of her \u201cSpring Meditation Places in NY,\u201d she has just posted the narrative of our Saturday excursion with visuals into the depths and heights of Staten Island. Not a place I ever knew well, or felt specially attracted to \u2014 though I can\u2019t set foot on it without thinking of my old departed friend, the poet Armand Schwerner. He must have known the Tibetan Museum, but not sure if the got to see the Chinese Scholar\u2019s house which opened the same year he died, 1999. Here\u2019s poem from his Selected Shorter Poems<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

the way up is the way down<\/span>
with some material from Robert Kelly and Ted Enslin<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

so often
as if earth had a trachea
full of dust
I envision my sons Adam and Ari falling through the street<\/p>\n

\u2018as if earth had a trachea\u2019
that was your phrase but
I envision my sons Adam and Ari falling through the street
that wasn\u2019t what you had in mind?<\/p>\n

that was your phrase but
I was drawn to an image of falling;
that wasn\u2019t what you had in mind
father?<\/p>\n

I was drawn to an image of falling\u2014
the way up is the way down\u2014<\/span>
father
did you used to have such pictures?<\/p>\n

the way up is the way down
<\/span>so often
did you used to have such pictures
full of dust<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
