Have been feeling oddly empty

                      
                                                
                                           
recently.  Am unable to determine why, but have some   
guesses; however, let's just say my psyche is in the   
horse latitudes and/or the horse latitudes are in it.
Here is a little something I wrote two days ago:                    
                                                        
Others                                                
                                                    
There are a million voices out there,              
and they all keep changing:           
clippity, clippity,                    
chug, chug,                           
bitter as butterflies.

Received another prize-winning book from                  
the Academy of American Poets.  Am reading it.  That   
is, I was reading it.  Perhaps I'm totally out-of-sync  
with the variant new ways of writing even though some  
of those ways I have used in my writing.  In any case,   
next to nothing is exciting me, not even Fanny Howe or  
Franz Wright.  There's an old song I one day tried to   
track down, something about "and the days go by" is in  
its chorus.  Have it in my head it's a song by Devo; so    
am going to try a Devo songs search.  Have grown tired   
of my minimal song lyrics, but an autobio project which   
is not yet ready to continue posting awaits/ and poems  
to be added to Scatterings which are in nearby folders.   
It's just hard these days.
