Put Out More Flags

Some of the more recent nonsense. I’m trying to change, but change is hard. Sometimes I think I should stick to the good formula, but I also want to grow. Lessons in life. I have tried to do some new things. I have also had a longstanding interest in the connection between poetry and painting. Lastly, I adore the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop, whose poem “The Monument” is very important to me. These aren’t monuments, but they are signals of loyalty to imaginary countries. I wonder if Bishop’s poem wasn’t such a signal too. Here are some flags. Perhaps one of them represents your emotional country.
