Dear Anindita,

trawling the internet was surprised to find a reference to ‘the marigolds’ – it was written 30 years ago. Thank you!

XXVI

onions steeped in brown vinegar,
voluptuous bottoms pressed against glass.

tomatoes express that colour
from embarrassment at our behaviour.

pineapples jump up to the ceiling
to enliven a flaccid un-sprung Sun.

figs hang in rows with stems dripping cream -
brown scrotums of aging men.

dried apricots erotic gleam,
vulvas slippery with their lust.

potatoes sit shrouded by the dirt we came from
to remind us to be humble.

beans that are soaked in tins
drop drowned & sobbing on our plate.

think gently of your fruits & veges,
they might be your grandparent’s souls.

Merry Xmas.

Rae Desmond Jones

You will definitely love Cornell plantations. Nothing but miles and miles of gorges,waterfalls and horticultural wonder.

To their credit, there is a section called “Realistic and Complicated”. Heh.

@girl: Hahaha…he probably is.

@bitter pill: whoa, what, you don’t think he’s sexy?

I haven’t seen Howl–I must get my hands on him, er, it. No problem about the rant. Who’d have thought such an arbit post would generate such emotion.

Great. He just ruined Hart Crane – one of my faves – for me. What is this dude’s problem? The Howl film was atrocious and now he wants to besmirch Crane’s legacy as well. I think HC jumped ship because he knew Fracostein would be depicting him one day. Can you blame him?

James Franco: we get it already, you wanker. You got an MFA. Congratulations on a degree in writing. Cos, of course, one needs a degree to write. Now, STFU.

Where’s Crispin Glover when you need him…

Anindita – apologies for the rant.

I knowww. Was about to make the same Ginsberg comment. Tough for a man to look like that, study in multiple colleges at the same time, write prose and poetry and then act in these movies. Let’s hope he’s awful in bed and we can all feel better about ourselves.

Turns out I have done my bit for the proliferation of poetry by planting a book of poems in the toilet. Posted about my laudable efforts (kidding!) here (http://itsacharade.blogspot.com/2011/03/husbands-are-surprising-creatures.html)

@Shruti: The flowers, you mean? Or the font obsession?

@Shilpa: I think we should all get btdt t-shirts. I don’t know, it may be a convent school thing–I remember some teachers made fun of accents, pronunciation etc so this probably creates a belief that it’s okay to do that.
