This is my first Post on the Bob Small Blog.
Actually, after seeing When did you last talk to
your Father with Colin Firth, I knew I had to do this.
There was a comment on an IMDB thread about
“How come there are no more Spencer Tracy films”
Well, maybe Colin is the new Spencer Tracy.
Like Spencer, he’s not particularly handsome
and he’s willing to play flawed characters.
Anyway, I realized I have all this Poetry
that is in notebooks and not transposed and
edited and I’ve been telling myself
that besides all my political worlds,
I have to make time to do this.
In a certain way beginning this Blog
is my first step in permitting myself
to do this.
There’s one notebook from the
second European Trip and
one from the 5th Southern Trip.
I need to give myself permission
to refine this work, which,
like oil, is in a crude state.
At any rate, this is a beginning
possibly like the Spring Training
of my bloggery.
Of course that sounds like
Poems and misdemenors
five days for unedited
Bloggery and we’ll be harder
on ye nex’ time.
