regarding a door it's open and shut but it is less open and shut than a wall a wall is something to lean on and it's unwise to lean on a door regarding a door you can take it in hand turning the knob of a door you can open it and step through then it's no longer a door now in the case of a wall . it's a wall wherever you are Pegardz ng a door, which is evident and consoling with a wall you always know where you are while a door is only a door from outside there is also something substantial about walls maybe it is the materials from which they're made the bricks and the plaster but more likely it's the absence of hinges the hinges in doors are like hidden conditions upon which everything turns they're like the small print in contracts a door depends on its hinges but it also depends on a wall there is nothing unusual about a wall without doors a door without a wall is ridiculous also a door is usually visible in all of its limits but you cannot see the other side of a wall and a door is always suggesting another side so doors seem ambiguous and appear to be forever flapping in the wind a revolving door seems -to be always changing its mind but regarded from whatever angle it is always offering you the same proposition there are many unanswered questions about doors why it is that there aren't circular or elliptical doors what is it that's frightening about sliding doors and what about the color of doors green doors in brick walls white doors in black walls or black doors in any walls this will lead you to suspect that i am talking about symbols rather than about doors and walls what's all this talk about doors and walls anyway why not talk about something real like Strainers From Code Of Flag Behavior fBlack Spar row Pressjg C9 1965 The New Yorker Maga zine, Inc.

Your Poem, Man unless there's one thing seen suddenly against another - a parsnip sprouting for a President, or hailstones melting in an ashtray - nothing really happens. It takes surprise and wild connections, doesn't it? A walrus chewing on a ballpoint pen. Two blue tail- lights on Tyrannosaurus Rex. Green cheese cloth. Maybe what we wanted least. Or most. Some unexpected pleats. Words that never knew each other till right now. Plug us into the wrong socket and see what blows - or what lights up. Try untried circuitry, new fuses. Tell it like it never really was, man, and maybe we can see it like it is. By Edward Lueders. From Some Haystacks Don't Even Have Any Needle, CQ 1969 by Scott, Foresman and Company.
