Word Play: Spoonerism blushing crows instead of crushing blow
Potential Projects:
- the body: think more about my body (and the body) and my sometimes strained relationship with it as I’ve gotten older and it doesn’t work as effortlessly as it used to.
- layers: I’m curious about layers, literal (as in layers of clothing, layers of sound, layers of ice) and metaphorical (layers of anxiety, doubt, joy, ideas, meanings). Inner and Outer weather shedding skin inside and outside (see document)
- feels like temp: develop my own system for determining/describing the feels like temperature.
- Workbook with Exercises
Reoccurring Themes:
- Restlessness
- What do I think about when I am running? [Who am I when I am running?]
- Body Parts, this year: the foot
- Dreamlike state of running
- Icy Paths—Wittgenstein’s need for rough ground
- Running Routes

to declare,
“this is too cold!”?
Next time
I should keep
my mouth shut.
