A Few Things On Which I Am Ostensibly Working, By Which I Probably Mean I Thought Of Or Wrote Something And Then Abandoned It For Weeks Or Months
- Syncopation, a dramatic monologue featuring a desperate, hyper-nervous male narrator who has been somehow selected as the best candidate to teach the audience about the nature of syncopation. Involves Dizzy Gillespie's vocal on "On the Sunny Side of the Street" as the epitome of syncopation. Steals a lot from Daniel MacIvor's Here Lies Henry, which I saw a while ago and which has recently been playing on my mind.
- A (pseudo-)sonnet about the moon, involving a comparison between the moon reflected in the pool on the Harry W. Arthurs Common and the moon in the night sky.
- Another moon sonnet, involving a comparison between the moon at night and the moon before the sun sets. (You know how the moon looks a lot like a big ball of rock during the day, because any light reflecting off it isn't able to compete with the daylight, and then at night of course it just looks like a big white disc [or semicircle, or crescent] of light?)
- Some kind of collaboration with one M. M. McGlynn.
