Excited to see the sophomore issue from THESE GUYS. I know they worked really hard on the first one, and I'm sure even more so on number two.

ARTWORDS in London is a fantastic shop too. A perfect match.

My wife wants a massage chair. She wants one every year. And I never give her one. Why? Because there’s something depressing about massage chairs, and how would you wrap it, or get it under the tree? Inevitably, the massage chair would end up in a spare room, seldom or never used, and whenever you went in there you’d think about how much money you wasted. Later, when you moved, you’d have to decide whether to bring the massage chair with you or to sell it on eBay, but nobody would want an old massage chair, and so you’d schlep it to your new apartment, there to occupy some other spare room or basement, and years later, when you died, your kid, coming back to clean out the parental house, would see it — Mom’s old massage chair, gathering dust — and it would just break her heart.

SEVILLE

Seville, by Mark Borthwick, for The New York Times.

in advent of mine adventurous mind
eye am tempted by these great adventures
among gardens life`s a paradise
eye am paradisical through nature`s eye
who headlights mine october skys
among an abundance of feeling`s lie`s
as an entrance in to never`s know`s why`s
through you an empathy eye`ll empathize
as eye`m enamored by your goodness greeting mind
that reflect`s me time after time
toward these street`s of seville whom walk for ya
as an aura to explore ya
owww,
for you`re a ring of bright water that reflect`s mine feeling`s for ya
as mine feeling`s walk toward`s ya
“as every pathway lead`s you away”
so to delight your rite`s among the intimacy of light`s
for they say of semana santa
one who breathe`s these street`s seethes thunder
as she call`s me an outsider
she lay`s me down to inspire her
an untie all that meet`s the eye to her
so to caress all that`s inside her,
among her aura, all purvey`s to explore her
leading me toward`s ya
“as every pathway lead`s you away”
so to say … as in with darkness die`s of light

“is to reflect your life in light”

It would be good to have a place like this, to have hot-tailed it out of here to.

Not sure if it'll get bad, and if it does, how bad.

But don't be surprised if there's nothing here for a while.

Everything I've done today could have been done by a bear. The long seasoned sleep. The lumbering out of bed. Tearing at a hard roll dipped in honey. And then sprawling lazily in the grass where the sun hit. I was going to take a bath but decided that would have been too much bear activity, so I showered. Or will in a bit. If I took a bath I think I would hunker down, expecting Emma Salmon to swim by so I could scoop her up.

Saw a lone deer at yesterday's sunset. It looked down the road with an expression as if waiting for something in particular. Antlers. That deer had a nice face. Like it would help you out in a jam if it could.

We are both going away. I had thought it was only me. I will now be paying more attention to what you will pack than to what I will.

Last night the wind was blowing fierce and temperatures were dropping fast. The blind knocked a glass item off the sill. I knew it would happen but left the glass item there anyway. The bedroom door was slamming open and shut. Fell asleep and woke with a scream while staring at a dark spot on the wall. When lightening flashed I saw the horizon on all four walls. Your silhouette on each. I knew then that I know exactly what it would feel like to stand before you again. With your nose moving as it does.

When I got up I noticed several complete outfits of clothes in piles on my floor. As if a group of men had dropped them and gone out into the storm naked.

If you think of something, do you stop to write it down.
