Water is only the
true thusness of water. It's
more than flowing, but flowing is more than itself. Why are all
abstract paintings alike, he asks. My daughter needed to take the
portrait of a stranger. When I download her photos, I see a college
student seated at a bench, eyes at her level. Do not take
pictures of the homeless. Better to witness their tents, their
blankets, their coffee cups, their dogs. The Stranger is
newly translated. How do you navigate “maman”? The same sun in
French is not a son. The same sound is not sound, but the thusness of
sound. Read this sonnet like a lawyer in love; the speaker makes
an argument, after all. They used to rhyme, love and prove. Now we
prove our love without sound's symmetries. Under that tree, or that
one, I thee wed. You in your loaner ring, and I in mine.
