Instagram post from Away Days Food. Picture of a long slice of white bread with some sliced red onion and some red stuff (ketchup? a red pepper sauce?) on it. Caption reads: awaydaysfood | Bread with onion MTK Budapest £0.85

Absolutely cackling at this football ground food. If you follow any accounts like this, you'll know how funny and weird this entry is.

If you want to, you will. Maybe even if you don't.

Perec and carnation, early 1960's

The photo that Georges Perec thought made him resemble Kafka.

I see what he was thinking. Interesting genre of picture (author photo that could be of two different authors).

Memory Trying to Touch the Bottom of the Deep Lake Tony Beyer on in the cracks of light by Apirana Taylor; Clay Eaters by Gregory Kan; The Anatomy of Sand by Mikaela Nyman

I worked on Apirana Taylor's book, and it is actually a corker. Spare, tense, wry, scrappy.

I like that this review acknowledges that he brings 'a quietly humorous humility and a truthful valuing of the idea of poetry' to the table.

PARADOXES AND OXYMORONS This poem is concerned with language on a very plain level. Look at it talking to you. You look out a window Or pretend to fidget. You have it but you don't have it. You miss it, it misses you. You miss each other. The poem is sad because it wants to be yours, and cannot be. What's a plain level? It is that and other things, Bringing a system of them into play. Play? Well, actually, yes, but I consider play to be A deeper outside thing, a dreamed role-pattern, As in the division of grace these long August days Without proof. Open-ended. And before you know it It gets lost in the steam and chatter of typewriters. It has been played once more. I think you exist only To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren't there Or have adopted a different attitude. And the poem Has set me softly down beside you. The poem is you.

“The poem is sad because it wants to be yours.” An old favorite by John Ashbery.
