When Creeley met Pep
he couldn't stand her.
She, on the other hand,
had no memory of him.
This was way before her
brain exploded.
brain exploded.
Me, I was curious, so I asked her,
after the anti-Pep diatribe
by Bob C., if she knew
who I was talking about.
Aldo, always vigilant about
Bob's foibles, tried to prompt her
about Creeley's empty eye.

... and lava in the backyard. When darkness fell in Sicily on the evening of 26 January 2014, the beautiful lava flow running down Etna's upper southeast flank became fully visible. This view was taken from the town of Zafferana, on the southeast flank of the mountain, with a power pole rising in the foreground. The lava looks close, but in reality is some 8 km away from the power pole. This lava flow is now going on for more than three days, and mild Strombolian activitiy, at times accompanied by minor ash emission, is continuing at the New Southeast Crater: photo by Bruno Behncke, 26 January 2014

What's not to like
about Pep I once asked
Creeley?
He replied that she was
too bossy etc. etc.
Hmmmmm

Pep has always been
simply
a doll to love
