I REMEMBER...

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 00:27:00 -0400

I remember upside-down Tupperware on the kitchen floor and the way the smooth tile and sandy grout felt on my knees

I remember turkey and ketchup and applesauce and corn, removed from the cob

I remember backing into that skinny tree playing tag with Alex and Christina, and the way my elbow bled and stung

I remember when my friend Michael and I both got the same roller-blades from Santa and was thus convinced of the jolly fat man’s existence for years to come

I remember throwing a conniption fit on the kindergarten nature walk

I remember the greenish plaid shorts I used to wear with the orange and black and blue striped shirt—a fashion statement, to be sure

I remember the old carpet in the basement that looked like orange and red mouths and hid so many little spiders

I remember the garage sale with Alex and Christina and I thought the stickers that said “J” meant me instead of John and Joan, their parents, and I was embarrassed

I remember eating Danimals yogurts and microwave french-fries in the kitchen with my grandma—I’d take the little stickers with pictures of animals from the yogurts and put them on my trash-can at home to be more like Dad: the trash-can in his office was covered with old radio station bumper-stickers and Texas burnt-orange

I remember writing science-fiction stories in wide-ruled composition notebooks

I remember playing Star Wars at recess and the time I fell off Will’s back, tailbone-first onto the retaining wall near the fence

I remember playing a shrub in the second-grade dinosaur play while my friend Tyler stole the show—he danced with a top hat and cane, and I stood there with a broken arm and fake leaves

I remember having to sit on the wall as a punishment for sneaking Oreo cookies to recess

I remember Alex and Christina’s basement and the way it smelled like cold concrete

I remember swimming with Alex and how I could never touch the bottom of the deep end with my hand while he did it with such ease

I remember ordering at the McDonald’s drive-thru and they gave Dad a fish fillet sandwich—the wrong order, and it was funny

(an imitation of Joe Brainard’s “I Remember”—see this link)

THAT'S WHAT YOU NEEDS

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500

that’s what you needs
happen to Quentin while I’m gone
excuse to worry me again

said
on, smooth and bright
up and we ran down to the corner of the fence and watched them pass
nigger, I going to holler
dont want your hands froze on Christmas, do you

and the Fury
nigger, I going to holler
dont want your hands froze on Christmas, do you

that’s what you needs
happen to Quentin while I’m gone
excuse to worry me again

for Jason’s and the children’s sakes I was stronger
up and we ran down to the corner of the fence and watched them pass
right up stairs
you know

to go now, Luster said
have to
eat supper

said
on, les drink some more sassprilluh, then we can come back if you hush
up the kitchen steps, onto the porch, and Caddy knelt down in the dark and held me
nobody said me and T. P. got to mind you
down the hill

all stood up quick and stopped, then they splashed and fought in the branch
nobody said me and T. P. got to mind you
down the hill

to go now, Luster said
have to
eat supper

Father turned toward the steps
up the kitchen steps, onto the porch, and Caddy knelt down in the dark and held me
ridicule him before the children, behind his back
You fusses when you dont see them and you fusses when you does

the pillow
he couldn’t take a little joke
expect he’s forgotten about it

stairs and lay down
one
up
now
dont have to, will you let him hold it

Aint you got no better sense than that
now
dont have to, will you let him hold it

the pillow
he couldn’t take a little joke
expect he’s forgotten about it

fell up the hill, into the moonlight, and I ran against the fence and T. P. ran behind me saying “Hush up hush up”
up
room we use to have
you dont like it, young lady, you’d better get out, Jason said

through the wall
How will they know it’s Dilsey, when it’s long forgot, Dilsey, Caddy said
eat this cake, now, before Jason come

suppose anybody ever deliberately listens to a watch or a clock
One more time
us
now
dont shoot him first

away
now
dont shoot him first

through the wall
How will they know it’s Dilsey, when it’s long forgot, Dilsey, Caddy said
eat this cake, now, before Jason come

from her
us
right
years in school to learn to do that properly

(Acrostic chance with The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner with the title as the key phrase. After each iteration, 10 was added to each letter’s value in order to produce distinct results.)

COLLEGE HOOPS

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500

rebound
foul
UConn’s gonna get out of here with a victory
see what they’ve got yet
Syracuse up next
Seton Hall is playing much better
they’ve gotta play Marquette
five and five at the line tonight, ten points and seven assists
great Big East match-up between Syracuse and UConn
that’s always fun
Harris
get it to go
Adrian with the rebound
double
playing an outstanding game
not only playing number one but playing in a hostile environment
UConn wins it
it’s college game day driven by State Farm
your entire ESPN crew
in Spokane, Washington
the Zags on a nine game winning streak
ready to run in Spokane
because when I arrive I
I bring the fire make you come alive
let it rock let it rock let it rock
because when I arrive I
I bring the fire make you come alive
just let it rock let it rock let it rock
welcome to College Game Day driven by State Farm
crowd is still filing in here in Spokane Arena
nine straight
win streak great conference match-up in store
Digger Phelps, Bob Knight
going for it right now
and these two teams also hoping to enhance their tournament credibility
blowout
they played earlier in the week
the handoff and the punch
the only field goal that made the highlights
with thirty-two and thirty-four of the big ones tonight
forty-seven point performance against Clemson
keep an eye on
he misses
any time you give him
they got out of that and that’s why they played so well
an elbow right to the chest
wasn’t an elbow just a facial performance here
twenty-two points and that was his first twenty point game since January
Henderson only had one point in the first half
I don’t know how you defend that any better
six seconds to go
had an opportunity for a put-back
Duke’s up by two
fif-teen
four point lead
finished up with nineteen points and the Blue Devils bounce back
I think one of the things that’s really important to understand here
twenty-four points
that’s something they always rely on, that pressure defense
that defense, though, is based on position
and really good help-side defense
his team showed a lot of character
he was complimentary to his team in the last twenty-two minutes, as he phrased it
they’re very good defensively
and he came back from that and I thought did a great job
gets thirteen rebounds
off the bench
Florida State
Jay, I agree with you
I said this before, Jay, that’s not gonna get it done
they have to play a bigger lineup
that’s not gonna get it done
it’s not gonna get it done in the NCAA tournament
they have to play D
it’s a little of a push and shove kind of thing here
they play basketball
hard to guard
they’re gonna get to the free-throw line
I agree with you Coach, that is their best lineup
get points in the paint
rebound the basketball
not only this year but the last couple years
it’s a question of balance
and that’s about it
and if they’re not knocking shots down
shoot the ball well
twenty-three shots today
because Miami’s not a big physical team
that’s what was so important about this win tonight
to make sure we’re ready to go up against Carolina
a school record
they had Virginia coming in
whoah-oah, nice!
Danny Greene stepping in there and Thompson helps out with a block
sixty-five percent
sixteen points
eight in the first half
Ellington has been burning it up
three point range
who had a game high twenty
he had thirty four
making the three
four assists
it’s impossible that Ellington
I was gonna say
doesn’t have the short game
hey, hey, let me tell you something
what’re you talking about?
if I wouldn’t have been talking about defense
I’ll tell you what though, I’ve seen Hubert Greene getting down in the stance
a sweater with ESPN right on the side
you better bring a knee brace
okay, okay
so North Carolina get set
senior night
not senior night this time
trying to finish his career four-and-oh
we’ll hear from John Callaperi
number one UConn stepping up

this is gonna be a fun event
this is one of those games when you learn about defense
and that’s what’ll happen in the NCAA tournament
what do you think he’ll try to explain?
try to push the ball on us
try to get baskets and threes and
maybe put us in pick and rolls
look when you schedule a game
gotta do some bargaining
our building seats nineteen thousand
this game was supposed to be in Seattle
these fans are as good as they get
and they’re not the mean nasty
they’re just great fans

a half-hour away from tip-off
had just a rough day
two for twelve
that’s about twenty below his average
he only had one rebound
a much better player all around
the post-to-post doubles
this team does a good job of running the floor
a sixteen point lead in the second half
Bruins by nineteen
oh, working with Darin Collins
all kinds of issues
a day that Notre Dame would like to forget
Michigan and UConn
getting it through to Hagan, here’s Stanley Robinson
the zone defense
this is how they got going
they got the lead
Michigan has the lead the first half
scoring in transition
it wasn’t just the shooting
just like they did there
they just moved the ball around the perimeter
they really didn’t get into the zone
ninety seconds to go, here’s Douglas again
big three
and that came off the dribble penetration right there
it’ll stay that way
really struggled
Sam Young, Young had a double-double
Jermaine is a silent force on this team
a career high for him
then he had the nice dish inside
ninety two to sixty nine
hot-handed Scotty Reynolds
Dante Cunningham
Donovan McNabb was there
Cunningham
that’s just using angles well and see how he moved his man
Syracuse
that’s the second field goal
that is not gonna help you on the road
really struggled
Cunningham had thirty-one points
he had thirty-one
well I think that not only did he do a really good job on the post
you think about offense
we played a lot of defense in that first half
here’s Cincinnati and Georgetown
this must be a payback game
his team was up at the half
three four five
fifty seconds
Greg Monroe
traveling call
it’s hard to believe
Hoyas down by two
drawing the foul but he did not get the call
sixty-four to sixty-two
making a little bit of noise
sitting there with one loss
Jay, I said earlier this afternoon
we were talking about Notre Dame
I think it’s amazing
this is the team that I think everybody thought would be a top twenty team
we’re wondering if Notre Dame will be able to survive
they could worry about not getting it
that’s extraordinary
when you get the second chance points
miss the threes
they’re going backwards
it’s a mental thing now, they are beat down
that’s what I think
they just start hanging their heads a little bit
teams would not be scoring against them as much as they are
that was a must win situation
against Marquette
Georgetown’s in a similar situation
well they’re not giving up all the points
this is an experienced group out there
in late April
to get nineteen
listen
ninety-six
five
Cincinnati coming back in with West Virginia
Gonzaga at Memphis
very balanced offense, indeed
Spokane Arena
coming up at the top of the hour
at it again
non-existent here
Trent, show him where we’ve been losing emails
for coverage where you need it, get America’s largest 3G network, Verizon Wireless
you need it, we’ve got it
for under one-sixty
absolute best value in boating
looks like you’re going to need a
USA, Mexico
World Cup qualifying continues
haven’t lost to Mexico on US soil
Wednesday at seven
can you say free triple score dot com three times fast?
all three credit reports
one two three
we really get all three for free
one credit report doesn’t tell you the whole story
could keep you from getting a job
a big mistake
lenders look at all three credit reports
where can I get all three?

BY THE GHETTO TO BECOME

I jump out of my car and walk brotha
Afroman, young soul brotha
the tore-house of
late night deeply from in the hood
we step it outside of that the weather good
stereo impulse in the living rooms of classic soul
music with the peaceful thundering (thunder)
foals 45 feels, received takes your boy on sums
however I ain ‘going t home, I ‘post in ‘cause (post in ‘cause)
another swallow, takes Other blow speech to occupying
you around an actual deep shit clicked heads,
that up and from the block run (ba kaa!)
Pulling to the side and the sale the rock, that the block becomes slow around one-quarter four floodlights
Popo, is sought
you once again sought me of the East, west, north and south,
that I would have relaxes cause, that I would have receive the cocaine in my mouth, you decrease the handcuff and we become leap in the Cadillac
released and tells my homeboys “peace” nineteen ninety-two Fleetwood Hain Daytons Chrome on my return home (memory)

memories to be drunk of the ghetto,
is wilted high to become memories paid, by the ghetto to become, to be put and (locked in ghetto memories)
(to become)
