Hi N! (Nancy) my Jeffers soulmate<ggg>(had to look at your profile) - oh Thee 'N',like it ...missed you.
Found the book.
..this is the second part to a cool poem from Arthur Sze:

Before Completion

2
Where does matter end and space begin?

blue jays eating suet;

juggling three crumpled newspaper balls
wrapped with duct tape;

tasseling corn;

the gravitational bending of light;

"We're dying";

stringing a coral necklace;

he drew equations on butcher paper;

vanishing in sunlight;

sobbing;

she folded five hundred paper cranes and placed them in a
basket;

sleeping in his room in a hammock;

they drew a shell to represent zero;

red persimmons;

what is it like to catch up to light?

he threw Before Completion:
six in the third place, nine in the sixth.
================

there are six parts... all very good - he gives you some great pictures and just this part does injustice to his piece...
there is a compilation of his work and is called
"The Red Shifting Web". Borrow it and read 'Evil GriGri'
and 'The Leaves of a Dream are the Leaves of an Onion'
I like him.

And Happy Holidays to you and yours if you
only post that one quote...come on and write
your far better than I -- and some Milosz too, please.

enjoy the day - got plans for the evening

How few are our real wants! and how easy it is
to satisfy them! Our imaginary ones are boundless and
insatiable.
