‘91 was the summer after graduation… this is not a page from my journal even though some of the goals are the same… maybe it’s a a post-glam rock/pre-grunge thing… maybe it’s a gen-x thing… maybe i don’t want to look at the list page from my journal… maybe…
over the weekend i was asked, on a couple occasions, why people abandon the faith of their childhood. i fidgeted, looked out the window, & offered some anecdotal comments anemic of any real answers. anthony bradley offers a more articulate response to why people move from youth group to agnosticism. but i didn’t have an answer, nor do i have fond memories of youth group.
church youth group, for me, was a dull experience in perseverance. most of the youth attended the church’s christian school. a couple of us attended the public school & were reminded that we were pagans within a cathedral. “why would i want to invite friends from school to youth group?” i asked myself. “to be ostracized like me?”
somewhere in those murky years of high school i turned to books for companionship & writing poetry for private enterprise. maybe not in the way wallace stevens did: “after one has abandoned a belief in God, poetry is that essence which takes its place as life’s redemption.” i felt abandoned, but did not seek to abandon.
perseverance, poetry, & a feeble faith have traveled with me, but members of the youth group seem to be pebbles in a path long ago traversed.

Painters and poets have been wed from the beginning. Language itself has pictorial roots.

thanks all for advice on which social network sites work for you and why.
the south garden (or the pepper & tomato patch) at mid july: 1 hot banana pepper plant & 1 jalapeno plant are still struggling to grow in this shady spot. the 4 bell pepper plants began to blossom. i think i may have a few spare dollars to buy additional pepper plants to fill in the empty space in the garden.
something thing attacked the north garden late saturday night, early sunday morning: i’m not sure if it was a raccoon or the groundhog couple that was spotted late last week.
The best of the new crop are making use of both innovative form and linear narrative, producing poems that are at once relevant and accessible—in some cases even popular.
