It has been another non-stop day. During my commute, I’ve started listening to The Complete Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins, recorded on Librivox, and downloaded to a tablet I hook up to the car’s sound system. I had been listening to Billy Collins, but there is something about him that grates on me. I hope to write a poem about it soon.

I did manage to take time at lunch to go to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event at a local church. In the evening, I did some work online and now, I’m sitting down to do some writing on my own behalf. I think about applying a nineteenth century voice to twenty first century communications, but my eyelids are drooping, so I’ll drift off thinking about this.
