Weldon Kees page 115 of Reclaiming Sf and Palo Alto

Neophyte readers will, like Victoria Thorpe, call this irrelevant or incoherent, but I rebooted the lap dancer to post this purloined image of Weldon Kees, apropos of 280 or Caltrain and although there is no index to “Reclaiming San Francisco: History, Politics, Culture” A City Lights Anthology, edited by James Brook, Chris Carlsson and Nancy Peters, Ann Garrison’s story “Suicide in the City” susses up cleanly during the Contents (page v).

well donkeys? you mean perry and miner?

The chapter starts on page 115 stretches like Willie McCovey to 121 I paid $18.95 was published in 1998 and I have probably read less than 10 pages but am slowly getting my money’s worth. See also: Kimmelman (or Weiss at this point, above) on Ray Johnson.

me gotta go: me and my 50 things to read in my book bag; I told EG of PV via Chi-town that I was planning to be snowed in.

edit to add: oddly, noticing I forgot the photo, Led Zep zips my gray matter: where the fuck is the bridge?

and 1:
Ann Garrison lists as reference David Chidester 1988 on Jim Jones, which I can googlink. And I want to outro with an amazon link to this actual book, or is it better to link to City Light per se?

This is my fourth or fifth post of the day, and 995 or 996 all time: what do I do when I hit 1,000? Quit? Jump off the bridge? I am no Ray Johnson, rest assured.
