Could Johnny take orders? No, but he stayed in the wicker basket carried by six men Through the bulging crowd to the hearse and let himself be locked in, And he stayed put as it went driving south in a driving rain.

Saturday, March 22, Poem for Saturday. The Lost Pilot By James Tate for my father, Your face did not rot like the others--the co-pilot, for example, I saw him yesterday. His face is corn- mush: his wife and daughter, the poor ignorant people, stare as if he will compose soon. He was more wronged than Job. But your face did not rot like the others--it grew dark, and hard like ebony; the features progressed in their distinction. If I could cajole you to come back for an evening, down from your compulsive orbiting, I would touch you, read your face as Dallas, your hoodlum gunner, now, with the blistered eyes, reads his braille editions.
I would touch your face as a disinterested scholar touches an original page. However frightening, I would discover you, and I would not turn you in; I would not make you face your wife, or Dallas, or the co-pilot, Jim. You could return to your crazy orbiting, and I would not try to fully understand what it means to you. All I know is this: when I see you, as I have seen you at least once every year of my life, spin across the wilds of the sky like a tiny, African god, I feel dead.
I feel as if I were the residue of a stranger's life, that I should pursue you. My head cocked toward the sky, I cannot get off the ground, and, you, passing over again, fast, perfect, and unwilling to tell me that you are doing well, or that it was mistake that placed you in that world, and me in this; or that misfortune placed these worlds in us.

Her entry into womanhood will be like all the other girls'-- a cigarette and a joke, as she strides up with the rest to a brick factory where she'll sew rag rugs from textile strips of kelly green, bright red, aqua.
When she enters, and the millgate closes, final as a slap, there'll be silence. She'll see fifteen high windows cemented over to cut out light. Inside, a constant, deafening noise and warm air smelling of oil, the shifts continuing on Friday Five 1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be? Jesus Christ.
I desperately want to hear directly from his mouth what he said. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?
I always wanted to live in Star Trek 's future, with peaceful coexistence among the inhabitants of hundreds of cultures and instantaneous communication and a library computer that could access anything ever written anywhere. And you know, technologically, in some ways we've come close to creating that future.
And in other ways I believe less that it's possible now than I did when I was a child. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be? There are a lot of places I've always wanted to live for a year -- Britain, Israel, the South Pacific. But permanently? In spite of everything I wouldn't want to leave the United States. I just want America back the way it was meant to be, moving forward instead of backward.
If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be? Mulan in the Disney film. She rocks.

The wonderful from whom I grabbed it said she'll tape the Dawson's Creek marathon for me while we're in Europe next month. Must come up with something very, very nice to do for her.

And gacked ages ago from : 1 Five nicknames you've had. I'm under five feet tall, I collect Tarot decks even though I don't believe in divination, the first three boys I ever kissed were all named David, I once memorized the entire Periodic Table of Elements, and I have no idea how to program my own VCR. My father's mother Sylvia, my college roommate Tracey, my freshman English prof Maureen, and. The war ending, going to Europe, having lunch with , The Two Towers extended edition DVD, and working on schmoopy fic over the weekend.
Wednesday, March 19, Poem for Wednesday. Gacked from , my very favorite of the series: The only book which doesn't take place in Narnia at all, per se, you're the story of a voyage to find the end of the world and hopefully the Seven Lost Lords remember Rhoop! You contain some of the most unique people and places and beautiful descriptions of the whole series. Find out which Chronicles of Narnia book you are. Have decided I need to talk about the movie, not the kiss It's quite good, much more entertaining than I was expecting; having seen other Jarman films, I expected it to be more of an intellectual struggle to follow the drama, but it's quite emotionally gripping and some of the visuals are incredibly striking -- and I don't just mean Sean Bean wearing next to nothing.
I will not spoil the ending but I am going to spoil some of the plot points so if you think you can track down a copy and don't know the life story of Caravaggio and want to come to it a virgin, don't read any further than the pretty picture. Caravaggio is told from the artist's deathbed in flashbacks. He's in exile after having done A Very Bad Thing, which is hardly a secret but I won't mention it here. The film deliberately draws attention to the fact that it's a reconstruction of history, not actual history; there are bicycles, trucks and typewriters in this Renaissance.
I get a kick out of thinking of it as RPS like Mrs. Brown or even Being John Malkovich -- it's all a matter of who's creating the fiction, isn't it? The storytelling is slow and methodical; for instance, there's a long scene with a gymnast who's posing for the artist, showing off unnatural-natural body positions; that same character also has a monologue about perverted sex at aristocratic parties and later attends a party in the catacombs with rotting skeletons all around, the visual symbolism is quite heavy.
Anyway, what people want to know: Sean Bean plays Ranuccio, a fighter and part-time whore whom Caravaggio spots in a pub and invites to pose for one of his religious paintings that's giving him trouble.
The Church does not come off at all well; Caravaggio's sodomy and a friend's possible murder conviction are both ignored as long as the Pope and cardinals are happy with the work. Michel -- short for Michelangelo, Caravaggio's first name -- and Ranuccio have a strange, twisted erotic relationship complicated by the fact that Ranuccio is in love with Lena, who ends up abandoning him for a nobleman so that her child and presumably Ranuccio's can be brought up wealthy.
That kiss takes place right after Ranuccio stabs Michel in the side after a staged fight that Michel assumed was already over; he smears his blood over Ranuccio's face and says "Blood brothers," and Ranuccio kisses him. The blood-brothers idea comes up again later in an even creepier context. There's not a great deal of physical contact between the two but there's a lot of smoldering gazes and uncomfortable looking-away when anyone else is watching.
Lena accuses Ranuccio of being in love with Michel, which he denies -- says it's just for the money -- but even between Lena and Ranuccio, coins are used as erotic aids, so that's a loaded statement.
My read on it is that Michel loves Ranuccio, which he says, but while Ranuccio isn't averse to sex with Michel, he loves Lena. And while Lena has a lot of affection for Michel and likes sex with Ranuccio, she's first and foremost a pragmatist; whoever has the most money will win her. The core emotional relationship is between Caravaggio and his mute assistant, Jerusaleme, who is rather jealous of Ranuccio and wants to usurp his place in Michel's painting and his affections.
He's not jealous of Lena despite the fact that Michel kisses her to make Ranuccio jealous. Actually, I can't decide whether he's only interested in Lena from an aesthetic point of view and as a way to Ranuccio or if he's genuinely attracted to her; he is devastated to lose her, but his grief seems detached, like mourning for the Madonna of his painting rather than someone he knew well. The scene everyone here has probably seen screen-capped at The Compleat Sean Bean is where Michel gives Ranuccio coins to pose for him, and Ranuccio, who's accustomed to hiding stolen jewels and coins in his mouth, keeps putting them there until he's got a mouthful of gold and Michel comes up to him with one more coin between his lips to see if Ranuccio will take it from him with his own, which Ranuccio does.
There's also a scene at the party in the catacombs where Caravaggio traps Ranuccio with his knife, upon which he has placed a ring that he ends up putting on Ranuccio's finger in a parody of a wedding. I'm afraid to say more for fear of spoiling the entire movie Poem for Tuesday and Headlines.
Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky And the affrighted steed ran on alone, Do not weep. War is kind. Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment Little souls who thirst for fight, These men were born to drill and die The unexplained glory flies above them Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom-- A field where a thousand corpses lie. Do not weep, babe, for war is kind. Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches, Raged at his breast, gulped and died, Do not weep.
Swift, blazing flag of the regiment Eagle with crest of red and gold, These men were born to drill and die Point for them the virtue of slaughter Make plain to them the excellence of killing And a field where a thousand corpses lie.
