Poetry from Mark Young

Lens Cleaner

I wake up with the juke-

box of the mind on full

rotation, Tony Bennett

telling me how he left his

heart in San Francisco. It’s

a sixties song, but then je

suis aussi un enfant des an-

nées soixante, born twenty

years earlier, & at this

parsing, a part of the time

& space between Miles

& Motown, something

akin to Bennett but with

much less grandeur.

The Wife of Bath’s Tale

Spent much of last Saturday 

asking a number of AI bots 

which bot I should use to 

help me write poems. Their 

concensus was that probably 

the best to suit my needs 

was still in development, but 

has a working title of Geoffrey

Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales bot.

Assembling an octagonal tripod

Attach the inner diffusion fabric. It comes 

with a hook & loop fastener.Without the 

inner diffusion you can “see” the bulb be-

hind the fabric as a central hotspot. Add 

a small inner diffusion panel if you do see 

that hotspot. Slide the diffuser into the first 

filter rail. It can be installed either way a-

round with the same results. The spackle 

shirt project uses a laser-cut micro-suede 

skirt. The inner part snaps onto elastic 

tabs inside the dish, the outer uses a self-

securing closure. Softboxes have wide

velcro to cater for honeycomb. A baffle 

can be attached to the softbox’s interior.

A few lines on the approaching solstice

Nostalgia can form an integral part of bocce.

Our club has a dual purpose.

A model of needs is an elusive concept.

Sometimes it’s just a green herb.

WHO fact sheet on hantaviruses provides key facts.

harassing a heuristic

Even though it is said that plurality

should not be posited without necessity,

it seems that Aristotle, Ptolemy, John

Duns Scotus, & Durandus of Saint-

Pourçain can all be considered to be

William of Ockham’s curtain raisers.
