Thinking about footnotes. Mostly Andrew Kozma's poem that appeared last year in an issue of Backwards City Review. Before that, I thought Andrew was a formalist poet. After all, he did study under William Logan.

Thinking about lines. If a line can define a horizon on a page, do three intersecting lines define three horizons? And what of the space enclosed by those three lines? What is that space? Obviously, I am also thinking about Willem De Kooning and about Picasso working on a lithographic stone.

Thinking about ideograms, notably Nikuni Seiichi's poem "Ame" (Rain) and how Pound uses them in The Cantos. Obviously, this was caused by meeting Taylor (what's his last name, Johnny?) at the Artefact reading in the Bay Area.

Thinking about space. Not outer space, but the space we use, on the page, the canvas, in architecture. In his introduction to Architecture and Disjunction, Bernard Tschumi writes:

an architectural space per se (space before its use) was politically neutral: an assymetrical space, for example, was no more or no less revolutionary or progressive than a symmetrical one.

Thinking about Brownian motion within a two-dimensional space, which goes back to the idea of line. In hard sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), Brownian motion is defined as the random movement of a particle (cell, protein, molecule, atom, elementary particle) within a three dimensional space.
