The Last Time I Saw Beth
It was some night in November, in the Nantucket Airport. I wanted to pick up my Christmas cards, but I didn’t want to talk to Beth. I buried my face in a trashy magazine as she bounced into the little shop. She had just found out that she was pregnant with their first child. She spotted me and said, “What a good feeling it is helping others even in a small way.” She didn’t have a blue wig and sunglasses. Some other people said insensitive things, and she got pretty mad. I was about 16 and living in Invercargill. July 31st would mark my second year as a known witch.

“The Ontology of Plagiarism”
Filed Under Poegles | Leave a Comment
“ I don’t say, as several posters charge, that rules against plagiarism are called into question by the deconstruction (in some quarters) of the idea of originality. I introduce those arguments only in order to assert their irrelevance to any enterprise founded on the presumption of originality as both a possibility and a value. A theoretical debunking of a concept has no effect on a practice whose very shape depends on that concept’s being firmly in place.”

Ask Facebook
Filed Under Poegles | Leave a Comment
“Millions of people ask their friends questions on Facebook every day. What new music should I listen to? Where’s the best sushi place in town? How do I learn to play the piano?” a Facebook blog post announcing the new feature explained. “With this new application, you can get a broader set of answers and learn valuable information from people knowledgeable on a range of topics.”
What about questions like, “What’s the meaning of life?” or “Is there a God?” or “Should I kill my dog?”

Peter Orlovsky, Poet and Ginsberg Muse, Dies at 76
“Peter Orlovsky, who inspired Beat writers like Allen Ginsberg, with whom he had a romantic partnership for decades, and who wrote emotionally naked, loopy and occasionally luminescent poetry of his own, died in Williston, Vt., on Sunday. He was 76, and lived in St. Johnsbury, Vt.”
