On The Nature of Understanding by Kay Ryan
Say you hoped to
tame something
wild and stayed
calm and inched up
day by day. Or even
not tame it but
meet it half way.
Things went along.
You made progress,
understanding
it would be a
lengthy process,
sensing changes
in your hair and
nails. So it’s
strange when it
attacks: you thought
you had a deal. Art by Alex Katz Recommended listening: Love We're Made From Porcelain - Run It's The Kid Links of the Day: Design A Wig The Pizza Blog The Vase The curious tale of Bhutan’s playable record postage stamps
