Sad day in the 801

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Bryner family, but especially to Cat 1 bad-ass Norm Bryner, whose father was killed this morning.

SALT LAKE CITY — A 47-year-old Salt Lake City man died early Friday, after being hit by a semitrailer truck while riding his bicycle.

Norman Bryner, 47, was riding across [...]

LeMond v. Armstrong (more punches traded)

Greg LeMond believes a federal probe into fellow Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong should not be taken lightly, and could even bring about the downfall of the world’s most famous cyclist.

“Up until now, he has achieved great things, if you consider he did it fairly, which I don’t believe,” LeMond said in an [...]

A BOOK OF MUSIC

Coming at an end, the lovers Are exhausted like two swimmers. Where Did it end? There is no telling. No love is Like an ocean with the dizzy procession of the waves’ boundaries From which two can emerge exhausted, nor long goodbye Like death. Coming at an end. Rather, I would [...]

AUTUMN

Both lying on our sides, making love in spoon position when she’s startled, What’s that? She means the enormous ship passing before you— maybe not that large, is it a freighter

BLUE OR GREEN

We don’t belong to each other.             We belong together.                                                                     Some poems belong together to prove the intentionality of subatomic particles.                                      Some poems eat with scissors.                                                      Some poems are like kissing a porcupine.                    God, by the way, is disappointed in some of your recent choices.                Some poems swoop.                                                    [...]

SINCE NINE——

Half past twelve. The time has quickly passed since nine o’clock when I first turned up the lamp and sat down here. I’ve been sitting without reading, without speaking. With whom should I speak, so utterly alone within this house? The apparition of my youthful body, since nine o’clock when I first turned [...]

PEACE

When will you ever, Peace, wild wooddove, shy wings shut, Your round me roaming end, and under be my boughs? When, when, Peace, will you, Peace? I’ll not play hypocrite To own my heart: I yield you do come sometimes; but That piecemeal peace is poor peace. What pure peace allows Alarms of wars, [...]
