Two deer. February 1, 2015. Valley Rd by the woods behind the college. Opposite sides of the road. One golden brown like tall grass, the other more dark like warm tree bark. A crow does what a crow does. Poor audio quality due to lousy headphones and depressed affect. The persistence of vision. Distance and the myth of Castor and Pollux. Human awareness, animal cognition, and the religious impulse. Where is your home? When is your home? As a young man, Walt Whitman was known to ice skate from Fulton Street in Brooklyn across a frozen East River to Wall Street-young boys would charge 5 cents to use their ladders to get up and down the river bank. In his later years, he would watch the skaters out on the Delaware River from the bedroom window of his house on Mickle St in Camden, New Jersey. If you never pay attention, you can never lose anything. A curriculum vitae, an apology, an offering, a farewell.
