Thesis Writing: Final Placement—Thesis-free


The final walk.


The final reach.


The final placement.


Walking away.


Deluge at Multnomah Falls, OR


Drive by.


Stevenson, WA,
 looking NE,
over the Columbia River.


Stevenson, WA,
looking SW,
sans rain.


Thesis-free option 1:

sit on Bob's Beach,
breathe,
stare,
grin.


Thesis-free option 2:

sit in front yard in speckled sun,
read for pleasure (whaaaaat?!?!?!) ...
Volume One of Anais Nin's Diaries,


with a cup of tea
in the grass weeds.


Thesis-free option 3:

walk around the house,
take photos of 
insignificant things.

(like teeny-tiny ceramic mugs in
a very dirty 1949 casement windowsill 
of the laundry-room). 


Portrait of a crazed artist
trying diligently to
move gracefully
through the chaos.

meditative and mesmerizing (can they be the same thing?) ...
