when the evening is spread out against the sky

like a patient etherized upon a table..."

Comment by John M. Bennett on March 28, 2012 at 1:08am: Well here's lettuice, if not bananas:

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on March 27, 2012 at 7:11pm: If you do, John--and I'm sure we'd all love to see that--have your camera ready, as it's a dying art!

I should add that banana as substrate came to my mind as a result of being a member of Dean Marks's bananas group.

Comment by John M. Bennett on March 27, 2012 at 2:06pm: wow

this might get ME writing on bananas

watch out

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on March 27, 2012 at 4:16am: Oh no, none of those things. ... No tiny legs out there, are there?

I had a famous scientist from Podunk College in OOB test it, and the writing was done with some kind of pointy but non-invasive instrument. He thinks the fluid might be the blood of a slug.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 27, 2012 at 2:39am: Thanks Nancy - we can't risk having all the asemic folks miss this - it is worthy of some sort of super Trash Po-Litzer or something. Has to be one of the funniest things ever posted in this group.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on March 27, 2012 at 2:17am: Ok, this morning my cat Ramsay walked two blocks to the beach (by herself!) and found an asemic banana lying on the sand. A drugged-up neighbor watched her bite it open and eat the banana flesh, and she then dragged the skin home, with asemics fairly intact. Ramsay was exhausted, I thought banana flesh would provide more sustenance than that. She dropped it on the floor of my studio, and my camera took three photos, one every four hours. Now the banana skin is dead and the asemics have become one with the overripe skin and I've had to put it out for garbage pickup tomorrow to avoid fruit flies.

Ever seen one of these? Me neither. Just felt it was my duty to report it.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on March 19, 2012 at 8:38pm: Love both of these, prettylily--great power in Karen's, great intricacy in Lindall's.
