Marilyn Monroe Reading James Joyce




I wanted something to eat. I didn't know what I wanted to eat and couldn't come up with any ideas. I was thinking how wonderful it would be to write a book and have a really pretty girl read it. My hunger went away. It astonished me, that my hunger was so easily defeated by desire. The question was would it stay this way, would I always be someone for whom desire would provide an immediate alleviation from hunger? Because I had my doubts. I had read Hamsun, after all. But for one moment, in the spring, in the sunlit exterior, it seemed as if an answer had been stumbled upon, gracelessly perhaps, though indisputably. I felt like Descartes or how I imagined Descartes felt upon discovering his 'indubitable proposition.'

BOOKS I WOULD LIKE TO READ IN A WORLD OF ABUNDANT GENEROSITY

Look I don’t have any money. I don’t have any pennies – okay maybe I have a few pennies – but I don’t have any money right now, and I want books, I want to look at books, hold books, I want to look at front covers and back covers, I want to read blurbs the better to understand what I am reading because I don’t understand words too well, I don’t understand poetry yet I read poetry all the time, well not all the time but a lot of the time, and did I mention I don’t have any money, not much anyway, I mean I’m not wandering the streets or anything and I have a lousy job stocking grocery product in a grocery type store, and I hate it but that doesn’t matter, what does matter is that I have no money and I really feel the urge to read some books and the books I want to read are below these words, these are the books I want to read, so anyone? anyone out there? publishers? editors? poets? ... why not? why not send them to me? It doesn’t matter, either way, I’m not asking for a lot, just the books below, send them to me.

My new chapbook is almost here, and here

Again it remains, remains as possible. As the possible
outcome, newness, what happens next, my chapbook
the one I have been proclaiming, the possible arrival
of its arriving. I call it THE PLESYRE BARGE. And it is
an available or near available thing, hand-made by hands,
by GREYING GHOST OF SALEM, MASS. Think of buckles, think
of hats, think of hands making hands making hand-mades.
Pleads: this thing is for you to buy. Buy it. Thank you.
