first, i have to say, "what the hell's going on around here?"

no updates in a long while. the words hide too well sometimes for my pen to ferret them out.

anyway, i'm back in ee eff eff ee cee tee. to wit, and apropos thereof, an update:

that worldwide protest joint in my last post has some things to correct. first, the epigram's from a reference to matthew 18:7 that pres. lincoln made in his second inaugural speech. second, there are some mistakes an tipoes (sic)-- i must have been a little loopy when i transcribed the piece. third, i just found another version of the piece in my "poet's notebook". here it is:

worldwide protests
"Woe unto the world because of offenses;
for it must needs be that offenses come,
but woe to that man by whom
the offense cometh." (Matthew 18:7)

hmm... i can't find the latest version. time to dig through and organize the piles.

(note: this post will be continued as soon as possible, or sooner, if possible)
