Did he really say that?
The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes = GEORGE CARLIN...Stained glass, engraved glass, frosted glass–give me plain glass = JOHN FOWLES...Music is the mathematics of the gods = PYTHAGORAS...Nothing is more fluid than language = R.L.SWIHART

Holding Tank
Some of the contents of the tumbler
became the "stuff" used
in an assemblage
called Transparents.
The assemblage was a tribute to
Joseph Cornell.
Transparents provided a springboard
for Jack McCarthy's poem entitled
MADE FOR EACH OTHER.
Regarding this image, I have much
more immediate and intimate
memories associated with
the tumbler than
the math utensils.
The woman who gave it to me
was named Zerolda.
We met at a poetry reading in 2006.
She introduced me to the 1933 Paramount Studios'
version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
Therefore, I fell in love.
The tumbler was her parting gift to me.
It contained a note that read "I've gone through the looking glass."
I have not seen her since but that is enough about me.
