Allo! I should talk poems, I know, but I am in the midst of a cartographical mystery. I have a lovely pop-up map of the Manhattan transit system which has been quite helpful whenever I must trek from the few parts of the borough I know well to other, dimmer locales.

So I was looking at this thing the other day, perusing it, and I noticed that the underside of the laminated cardboard backing from which the map pops out is engraved with a statement from the founder of the Baha'i faith!

Mysterious Baha'i crypto-cartography!

And look, they even have it on their website. No attribution, though, so I wonder if they either don't know that their map-selling slogan is the work of an obscure religious figure or if they're just being sneaky about it.

Thankee kindly to all who came out to last night's reading; Pete's was jam-packed and I made it through my set without fainting/breaking down/etc. Huzzah! I'm still carrying a serious sleep deficit around with me, though, so I will return with more news and fun tomorrow. In the meantime: zzzzzzzzz . . .

Crazy pre-reading jitters. Mark and I went to see Sin City last night, and between mad violent comic book imagery and butterflies in my stomach, I spent the night a-tossin' and a-turnin'. I may be the first ever Zombie Poet at Pete's Big Salmon tonight.
