The Journal of Bruce W Niedt

Wasted Day
10/10/2001 04:26 a.m.
Started a week off - supposed to be a "working" vacation - getting ready for a yard sale, puttering around with fix-it chores, and as it happens, waiting for delivery of a new freezer and a chair tomorrow. But today was largely wasted. Still in a funk over our "just war" (reports say the bombers ran out of things to bomb - no surprise there). I did write that sestina, "Sunset on Jockey's Ridge", one of the few non-9/11 poems I wrote in the past month. Guess I wanted something escapist and relaxing. Jockey's Ridge is allegedly the largest natural sand dune on the East Coast. It's really more like a big sandy hill, but the view and the sunsets are spectacular. It's near Kitty Hawk, N.C., and legend has it the Wright Brothers did some flight testing there. It's a big spot for beginning hang gliders. Also fiddling around with some ideas for a chapbook. How's this for a title (after one of my poems): "Waltzing Home."
I am currently Bleh
I am listening to Rufus Wainwright's first album
