i believe in living joy

brendan came up to lowell and got a taste of the alley before and after attending a mass cultural council poetry event. lstening to all of those well-tended words was healing. and hearing them they way the poets intended. michael hoeerman (a fellow ozarkian) was there and read his work. the reading made my brain breathe a bit. i stuff so many visual in there and they never have a chance to breathe- it's as if the words kind of pryed them loose. the title of this entry comes from a poem by maria luisa arroyo.
