A Poem for You

UPTICK

We were sitting there, and
I made a joke about how
it doesn’t dovetail: time,
one minute running out
faster than the one in front
it catches up to.
That way, I said,
there can be no waste.
Waste is virtually eliminated.

To come back for a few hours to
the present subject, a painting,
looking like it was seen,
half turning around, slightly apprehensive,
but it has to pay attention
to what’s up ahead: a vision.
Therefore poetry dissolves in
brilliant moisture and reads us
to us.
A faint notion. Too many words,
but precious.

- John Ashbery

    The Week in Review

    After fighting off a hostile takeover attempt by Kraft, This Recording has moved onto greener pastures. The weeks to come will feature our year-end lists, which I generate largely from putting Lambert into a light coma and performing experimental brain surgery. Let's just hope the inside of her brain doesn't rank that weird Jim Jarmusch movie No. 1.

    Enjoy these ventures into the unknown before we are absorbed by a cheesy conglomerate:

    Giorgio De Chirico on his surrealist friends...

    Beatrice discussed her difficult relationship with her father...

    Molly Langmuir reviewed Chris Weitz' New Moon...

    Alex Carnevale went to see The Fantastic Mr. Fox...

    Edward Dorn's memoriam for Richard Brautigan...

    The intersections of Pauline Kael and Bonnie and Clyde...

    The adventures of Will Hubbard and R.V. Neuman...

    Maryse Conde's youth in Paris...

    Durga looked back at The Beatles' Rubber Soul...

    The weird love of John Lennon and Yoko Ono...

    Patrick Bateman recalled the days of Revolver...

    Having a drink with Paul McCartney...

    The wit and wisdom of Georgia O'Keeffe.
