Until seeming to remember, the warmth I would not have guessed—
Poinciana—High tin bronze alloy of Maria Martin’s Macumba, which embodied
For Breton, the strange dendritic markings of the native metal—Stannous
Fluoride on your breath, we resume a catalog absent of half-cries to the past,
Or, when a bar of tin is bent—A paratactic tin belt of the Central Andes is submitted—
To terminate a protein—When tempted with a choice of endings, heated tin wires to guess
Sensor research offers a setup—In the metallic sea of dissociable electrons, gathering
Combustible gases drop the resistance, and sound the alarm—Alternately, stannous
From a bore widened by acid—Dietary iron, after passing the acid sump, embodies
That petrochemical contrivance in reverse—Ferric iron falls oxidation states; submitted
For intestinal enterocyte absorption in the ferrous, bivalent form—Stannous
Fluoride’s other contributing quality to this spiral of association—Here is more to guess
And recent banquets—Why invoke metal applications, their travels gauged by past
Electricity, thermoception well—It would be like subscribing to that quaint gathering
Of precepts, the hierarchy of senses, to fawn on the bluntness of a rod, or thyrse—Submitted
Cries of threads of tin, where their integrity was never questioned—Flamed stannous
Oxide’s touch stands under the skin of glass—A translucent red colorant of tins past—
Alloys of tin; non-canonical base pairs—A laser lens interprets an astigmatic surface—Gathering
Examples and occurrences of imposed narrative gossamer, carrot and stick dualities—Stannous
Tin-pot dictators of mines and smelters—A circuit nets a few dead leaves of tin; consumption embodied
It is enough—Crumbly tin impresses stronger metal; My guess is, gathering tin for explication,
Submitting from a past of domestic instruments, the pitched tins—There is a well-worked credenza

I remember how much I loved Felt Mountain (2000), and particularly, "Paper Bag".
The synths for the single "So Hard So Fast" are leveling of the highs and lows.

I will also read Andrew Moore's Pawpaw: In Search of America's Forgotten Fruit (2017) from the same imprint, Chelsea Green Publishing

I have Sweet in Tooth and Claw (2022) next to my bed in the to-read stacks. The Patagonia binding is waxy and satisfying. I have held off in part because I did not want to dive into the overoptimism of a certain generation. Just read for the animals. I am skeptical of this Boomer optimism and widespread peaceful prescription. It is more nuanced than that.
I tried paw paw fruit in Dendrology (2022), but I won't eat it on the regular due to the annonacin in the custard apple family.

I pulled out Kristin Ohlson's Sweet in Tooth and Claw (2022) while I was looking for my Art Scroll Chanukkah book. Several observations:
*I flipped a page to Peter Kropotkin's Mutual Aid (1902), which was a loose tissue of flake theories of reciprocity in the animal kingdom. Humans are not animals, and the collectivation of the farms with this optimistic premise that workers would come to each other's aid resulted in massive starvation statistically overwhelming the casualties of war. Leftist professionals, like Soviet intellectuals, cannot spare their minds for such work. I do not disagree with instances of reciprocity and mutualism, as a whole.
*Finca Irlanda in Chiapas is an eden with rare avian species between the sustainable coffee plantations, where the native Ch'ol extort, kidnap and sometimes stage the murder of their foreign retirees; in truth, they live off of them. True. Such clueless people with their bundle of retirements coming to be served deserve it.
I read Tehillim 48 today, a Monday, which is the second day of Creation. The Levites would sing this psalm to rectify the conflict since the waters split.
"One who was born on the second day of the week, Monday, will be a short-tempered person. What is the reason for this? It is because on that day, the second day of Creation, the upper and lower waters were divided. Therefore, it is a day of contentiousness."
Talmud Shabbos 156a:9
Another commentary I read is that these people live separated from others. I am working on that.

I remember this time in 2002 when my shipment from Soleilmoon records arrived: Legendary Pink Dots's All the King's Men (2002) and All the King's Horses (2002). What made me think of this was "It's the Real Thing" about plundering the third world.
"I am tourist to the poorest place on Earth ..."

*I like the 2002 premonition of radical Islam coming for the liberal West in "The Warden" : "Your house for years maintained...the fear of my return" [...] "Your prize shall be a doormat / With a prayer" [...] "Now, down, boy, turn to Mecca" [.]

I like "The Unlikely Event" about a man calling his main squeeze to leave an answering machine message "I know you are with your secret lover, lover."
