  Hello Blogger and American Surrealist,

  Your talks are so beautifully handwritten.

  I have had yr letter on my desk for months.

  My family and school woes had/ have worn me down.

  Forgive me. Imagine how proud Joe would be that you are a grandfather! It would have met a poem in Weequahic Park.

  You sound like a democratic Pound.

  You and I both haunted as in l962.Premature anti-fascists we still are and will be.My hand hurts as if I were still playing the violin. which I do ad lib when I want and need to. Here’s a tip: Beethoven number l09 by Pollini or Gould–and Gould has it on videotape with another genius Menuhimn

  Perhaps soon we will have a volume of Joe to throw at the world’s head.

  Accept this as a micro-molecular tribute. You seem grown-up and filled with the density of history which is
  poetry in a dream., yr old friend David (Shapiro)
