Avery special composition to the photographs of a large produce scale urges the consideration of the American obsession with measuring, some thoughts on Melville, and some observations on immigration: to see what other ideas hang in the balance, read and view today's blog at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Pensando
Land, land,
you have portioned out your life
these many years since ships,
since decrees,
always with the weight
of urgency cropping at your spine.
Colors fence your crime;
if you don't salute, on land
it is a capital issue
but at sea you are more free --
only blue and more blue:
who can tell
a person what is more
or less?
what is reasoned and what
is best?
Land, land
you are a deceiver by points,
by halves sometimes,
by colors,
by all that's right.
