6/8

<1/27/17 all of this could be in red — i start to bog down when i get to long entries — i have a hard time reading through them>

<3/23/19 i have a hard time reading my text — i read a little then start skimming and skipping — maybe because i’ve read through them so many times — maybe that’s the way to read the text — to jump around and read bits and pieces in/from different places>
<1/29/22 i bog down again in this text see today’s notes>
<6/26/22 again and again inserts inside of inserts
see today's notes>

reread Junky

S's jewelry — trip to Saranac Lake — there was something much more elaborate that I was going to write — ideas on reading and writing — Medieval quotes — machines — direct communication — the traditional novel and realism in painting contrasted with experimental works — a realist painting uses paint etc the way a realist writer uses words — not in and for themselves etc — deconstructed they become colors or surfaces — words or patterns on a page trip to Saranac Lake — reflections on colors — greens — everything seems green — a rust orange dead pine becomes brown close up — a grey dead deciduous tree — death is not usually so obvious or prevalent — (dead squirrel on the road — a dead pigeon) — mostly green — a mountain swings into view with a curve of the road — blue against grey sky — the landscape — a sense of place — phase shifts — Derrida and out — poetic possibilities
ideas while driving for a poem on S's' jewelry to incorporate — ideas from the trip —
