“in art, we do not run
to keep up with random
moments, we select
& create
the moment
occurring forever:”
― A.R. Ammons, Tape for the Turn of the Year

“intellections have a use,
don't think they don't:
if the vine couldn't
find a natural tree, what
would become of it? if
structure without life is
meaningless, so is
life without structure:
we're going to make a
dense, tangled trellis so
lovely & complicated that
every kind of variety will
find a place in it or on
it: you just be
surprised: &
forgive us:
who mean song
direct & fierce:”
― A.R. Ammons, Tape for the Turn of the Year
