This is a poem
This is my world
This is a leaf on a tree
I am gusting in the wind
Holding on by a strand
This is a leaf on the ground
Brown and trampled and beautiful
This is the fall from Eden
from naive heights, juvenile armor
This is A Portrait of The Artist As A Young Man. ( Joyce)
Holden Caulfield as well. (Salinger)
This is a book that breaks apart,
(asunder, new word)
me, as those aforementioned Bildungs did.
This is Everything
when Everything hurt
Everything felt right
Everything worked
Everything forgotten and found
-D.H.

Wonderful, liberating, zoom hosted by @brooklynrail on the topic of John Yau’s beautiful book, “Joe Brainard, The Art of the Personal” Been a fan of Brainard since reading his, “I Remember” book in a workshop at Naropa’s SWP, with poet Rod Smith. This shows his talent and creativity in visual arts. By chance this begins with a Ron Padgett and end with Padgett. 💫 #brooklynrail #joebrainard #johnyaupoet #ronpadgettpoetry #visualart #fluidart #graphicart #painting #everyday #nyc #march #2023 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpoAT3HpKRw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
