7/3

sometime i’m going to have to address my political ideas files
hundreds of unsorted downloads from the NYTimes
plus all the papers piled up in the garage

i keep dividing up the day
making schedules
writing notes like this about making schedules
(time to do another 360 writing cycle

cycles inside of cycles — 4 years of notes ? — 10 years
10 might be a good number because it’s sparse and is also a cycle ending number

1980s 1990s 2000s — 1980-1989 — 1990-1999 — 2000-2009
pick 360 days out of each 10 years
3 cycles

visual art — people like whistler or klimt compared to contemporary artists
things i like ‘in theory’ as opposed to ‘visceral’ reaction
things i used to like but no longer do — or used to think i should like

everything is wet
condensation on the windows
drips from the tree branches

weather that’s not common
the feel of dampness


some very hard rain
