During those several years, <b>Truck</b> was guided by 69 different editors, each taking a month at the wheel. Those driver/editors had carte blanche and were free to proceed as they liked, doing as much or as little as they cared to, so long as they didn't, as I sometimes told them, wreck the joint.<br />
<br />
The results will remain here at Blogger, where you'll be able to read/view them until . . . well, until Blogger freezes over. The archives are organized by month and year at the lower right-hand part of your screen, and this month's listing of editor/drivers by name can be matched to the years and months of the archives.<br />
<br />
Feel free to explore. My way is to jump around, reading a few things here and a few things there, but it's your call. Go back to April 2011 and read it all the way through, or find a favorite editor or writer and concentrate on what they loaded the <b>Truck</b> with.<br />
<br />
My thanks go to all the editors, writers, and visual artists whose works are here.<br />
<br />

Only later did I begin to wonder what theme to invite contributors to consider. When Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency, I decided to ask people to help commemorate, however indirectly, these fidgety last weeks of a long year, these days we spend awaiting a Trump presidency, no less! Many thanks to those who responded, as well as to Hal for asking. Special thanks to my wife Patricia for computer help and patience and love.</span></span></div>

Here came my wife pushing me - in that little red wheelchair I inherited from mother! - past all those blindingly famous paintings. One question. How many yards away was Goya's 3 de Mayo hanging from Velazquez' Las Meninas? The halls and lighting are arranged so as to eliminate the kind of space that prevails outdoors, between that last stoplight and the museum front door, between the ticket booth and cafeteria. The one kind of space, what we measure in yards or meters, gets canceled and replaced by another, very different kind of expanse. And the distance, from one to the other, between those two objects made of paint and canvas? It is made of emotions, of feelings about fame and anonymity, about representational art, and representative government, about what is public and what is private - the difference between a royal court exquisitely posed, in short, and a firing squad lit by a lantern on a curb.</span></span></div>

So ample is the vocabulary of brushstrokes, you get the sense that nowhere else on the planet are feelings so clearly on display. A study in asymmetrical warfare, 3 de Mayo catches a moment from the popular uprising that gave us the phrase La Guerrilla. Las Meninas, on the other hand, is a study in symmetry politics, with the princess watching the royal couple reflected by accident in a mirror over the shoulder of our painter, who, in order to portray that couple, paints what they look at. He includes himself - isn't he painting the canvas we see before us? - as the ultimate touch of symmetry. Meanwhile. Goya's asymmetry reaches in all directions - uniforms and crumpled corpses, street lantern and dark sky, foreign attack and native resistance - without resolving or yielding or naming anyone or anything except the date on which it happened.</span></span></div>

Yesterday, Donald J. Trump was elected to be the forty-fifth president of the United States. The naked, dangling feel of it all is diminished by my rage at political pros who imposed Hillary Clinton on voters like me, only then to wonder, wide-eyed, wouldn't we also like to sign a birthday card to her?</span></span></div>

The people's voice being that of God makes for quite an arresting remark, of course! It identifies our ultimate authority as one we can consult when we need to, a collective voice different from - though certainly woven out of - the individual voices composing it. No need to climb Mt. Sinai. Why lug stone tablets to the ungrateful? The doctrine of vox populi allows for pretty easy access to what we have decided is our ultimate authority: we use a ballot box. A ballot works for us like a drugged priestess perched in a cave worked for our Roman counterparts. But now we have to make sense of comments we knew beforehand would be truly ambiguous. And the world as we know it depends on what we decide. Are we scared? What a stupid question!</span></span></div>

Different voices get unified by a more-or-less agreed-upon process of reduction. And bingo, we want to believe, authority has been exercised, responsibility has been taken. So let me take responsibility. I voted, last Sunday, for Hillary Clinton. I did so with the same hand that, four months earlier, had lifted bags of rice and beans to Honduran kids riding railroad cars, fly-style, through Veracruz north to certain apprehension and repatriation. The kids were fleeing a wave of murderous violence let loose in their country when Secretary Clinton decided to recognize a military coup. I voted for her to keep out of the White House a fellow who, on his first day campaigning, called half the people I live with rapists and criminals. But that fellow won anyway. Mainly because he attracted votes from other people I live with. And me, I'm caught between those two paintings. Because that is how vox populi works.</span></span></div>

He was born in Santa Ana, California in 1961, and now lives in San Marino.

She lived in Latin America for 23 years (in Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua). From 1962 to 1969 she and Mexican poet Sergio Mondragón co-edited EL CORNO EMPLUMADO / THE PLUMED HORN, a bilingual literary quarterly that published some of the best new work of the sixties. When she came home in 1984, the government ordered her deported because it found some of her writing to be “against the good order and happiness of the United States”. With the support of many writers and others, she won her case in 1989. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, she taught at several universities, most often Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. Randall’s most recent poetry titles include AS IF THE EMPTY CHAIR / COMO SI LA SILLA VACIA, THE RHIZOME AS A FIELD OF BROKEN BONES, ABOUT LITTLE CHARLIE LINDBERGH, and SHE BECOMES TIME (all from Wings Press). CHE ON MY MIND (a feminist poet’s reminiscence of Che Guevara, published by Duke University Press), and MORE THAN THINGS (essays, from The University of Nebraska Press) are other recent titles. HAYDEE SANTAMARIA, CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY: SHE LED BY TRANSGRESSION was released by Duke in 2015. EXPORTING REVOLUTION: CUBA’S GLOBAL SOLIDARITY will be published by Duke in Spring 2017. Randall has also devoted herself to translation, producing WHEN RAINS BECOME FLOODS by Lurgio Galván Sánchez and ONLY THE ROAD / SOLO EL CAMINO, an anthology of eight decades of Cuban poetry (both also published by Duke). Red Mountain Press in Santa Fe will publish her translations of two individual collections by Cuban poets, and The Operating System will do two more. Randall lives in New Mexico with her partner (now wife) of almost 30 years, the painter Barbara Byers, and travels extensively to read, lecture and teach.</span></span></div>

with you that the status quo lost this election. But the Status quo, as you
point out among your own leaders, remains. Take Climate change & other
serious environmental problems. Trump is more Like Chairman Mao than he realizes.
Regarding trade & tariffs, consider The following equation: emerald rotten
teeth equals orange hair-weave. All I did at Trump University was surf! The “school”
had less chance of Success than Wang Wei finding his way back to Shangri-La <i>a second time</i>. If you thought more like
Trump, you would complain that American Poets are weak. They’ve unstable
brainwaves. Their poems have no Stamina. More blood gushes out of their verse
than all the martial arts Films ever made.</span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span></div>

a unit of soldiers whop strip off their clothes before going into battle and
calls itself “the Butt Naked Brigade.” It’s a war where young child soldiers
carry teddy bars and plastic baby dolls in one hand and AK-47s in the other.
It’s a war where soldiers smear their faces with make up and mud in the belief

<span style="font-family: Palatino;"><u3:p></u3:p> In
a Feminist college course, our teacher asked if we had experienced arousing
rape fantasies. One girl tearfully raised her hand and said this was true for
her. My heart started beating so fast it was all I could do to stay put. I was
just as ashamed as she of these fantasies, but I would never have admitted
them. Our professor was actually quite kind to her, if misinformed. She
comforted the girl by saying that, as women, we had been brainwashed by the
patriarchy to eroticize our subordination to men. She said those fantasies were
very common, which is true, and that we could “overcome” them by exposing our
fantasies to feminist analysis and by our increasing self-esteem.<u3:p></u3:p></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;"> She
was dead wrong. In fact I knew she was wrong later that night. Despite my
assertive self-confidence, rock-hard feminist analysis and weekly shift at the
rape crisis hotline, I could still crawl into bed and successfully masturbate
to those same disturbing fantasies that had aroused me since I was a child.
Feminism and self-esteem had no more
effect on my erotic hot spots than the communion wafers I used to take every
Sunday, hoping they would wash away the devil’s seed inside me. Clearly,
religion and linear politics were useless in explaining the unconscious and
subversive quality of eroticism.<u3:p></u3:p></span><o:p></o:p></div>

in relation to books. One tries to imprison life in a book, like a songbird in
a cage, but it’s no god. On the contrary! Out of the abstractions one finds in
books, one can only construct systems that are cages for oneself. Philosophers
are only brightly clad Papagenos with their own different cages.”<u3:p></u3:p></span><o:p></o:p></div>

accumulation of wealth in the hands of a minority is, no doubt, a universal and
apparently unfailing concomitant of civilization. Japanese employers believe
that the wages which they pay are not too low in relation to the comparative
inefficiency of Japanese labor, and the
low cost of living in Japan. Low wages, thinks Japan, are necessary for low
costs; low costs are necessary for the capture of foreign markets, foreign
markets are necessary for an industry dependent upon imported fuels and
minerals; industry is necessary for the support of a growing population in
islands only 12% of whose soil permits cultivation; and industry is necessary
to the wealth and armament without which Japan could not defend herself against
the rapacious West.<u3:p></u3:p></span><o:p></o:p></div>

woman, who in the infirmary gave too much trouble or was in a bad way, was
“polished off.” That is to say, the incurables and the obstreperous were given
a dose of “black jack” or the “white potion” and sent over the divide. It does
not matter in the least whether this be actually so or not. The point is, they
have the feling it is so, and they have created the language with which to

<span style="font-family: Palatino;"> The
visual and musical dressing up under the monarchy was in keeping with the taste
of a time, when holy days, processions, public prayer, and hymns to the
Almighty saturated the daily life of the people with religious feeling. There
was entertainment in worship, and nothing else was so well organized as to
compete with it. The secular world of today entertains itself in other ways,
not less mass-designed, and feels it can afford to do without lavish public
rituals. Besides, its desire for government is not the same, less deferent,
more greedy. Nothing in any case warrants Mark Twain’s imputation that kingly
ritual was “hypocritical mumbo jumbo.”
At the death of a good king the people wailed and wept – at home, in church, in
the streets. They prayed between their bouts of grief. The loss was personal
and intense and charged with anxiety about the future. Today, such a collective
emotion about rulers is felt only after certain assassinations.<u3:p></u3:p></span><o:p></o:p></div>

sprung his Arbeitsdienst, his Labor Service Corps, on the public for the first
time today and it turned out to be a highly trained, semi-military group of
fanatical Nazi youths. Standing there in the early morning sunlight which
sparkled on their shiny spades, 50,000 of them, with the first thousand bared
above the waist, suddenly made the German spectators go mad with joy when,
without warning, they broke into a perfect goose-step. Now, the goose-step has
always seemed to me to be an outlandish exhibition of the human being in his
most undignified and stupid state, but I felt for the first time this morning
what an inner chord it strikes in the strange soul of the German people.
Spontaneously they jumped up and shouted their applause. There was a ritual
even for the Labor Service boys. They formed an immense sprechchor – a chanting
chorus – and with one voice intoned such words as these: “We want one leader!
Nothing for us! Everything for Germany! Heil Hitler!”<u3:p></u3:p></span><o:p></o:p></div>

Stalin’s guests had drunk themselves into a stupor, his daughter recalled their
“personal bodyguards would step in, each ‘custodian’ dragging away his drunken
‘charge….’” Khrushchev insisted he and others asked waitresses to pour them
“colored water instead of wine,” but Stalin “fumed with anger and raised a
terrible uproar.” According to Mikoyan, Stalin wanted to “loosen our tongues:
so as to find out “who was thinking what.” Khrushchev thought Stalin found it
entertaining to watch the people around him get themselves into embarrassing
and even disgraceful situations. For some reason he found the humiliation of
others very amusing. Khrushchev imagined that someday the vozhd would go so far

think it’s appropriate to take a few minutes to reflect on some of the issues
that people of faith have in common, and from my perspective, as I have
traveled extensively now through New York and have been in the company of so
many different New Yorkers from so many different walks of life. I agree that
the challenge before us, as individuals, as members and leaders of the
community of faith, as those who already hold positions of public
responsibility and those who seek them, that we do all share and should be
committed to an understanding of how we make progress, but we define that
progress broadly, deeply, and profoundly. <u3:p></u3:p></span><o:p></o:p></div>

</span><!--[endif]-->Buy a Rider-Waite tarot deck. Shuffle it. While
shuffling the cards, notice that it’s no longer called the Rider-Waite tarot
deck, but “The Rider Tarot Deck®, Known also as the Waite® Tarot and The
Rider-Waite Tarot®.” Remember an old book, <i>Women
of the Golden Dawn</i>, which asserted that Waite, a man, gave vague sketch
ideas for this most famous of modern tarot decks, but a woman artist realized
all the ideas, and that the deck was properly considered a woman’s creation,
but a man got all the credit because it was a Golden Dawn and also Victorian
and also English and also an everybody thing. Look more closely at the box
while you shuffle the cards. The box says, “The original and only authorized
edition of the 78-card Tarot Deck designed by Pamela Colman Smith™ under the
direction of ARTHUR EDWARD WAITE.” Why is Pamela Colman Smith™ trademarked? Is
Rider the real name of Smith? Why would the deck be under her real name rather
than her pseudonym?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><!--[endif]-->Acquire a new cat. Acquire a kitten who is too
young to be weaned, but whose mother has been cut in half by a car. Give her
cow’s milk, then wet food, then wet-and-dry food. Live with her in places like
Texas and California and Georgia and New Mexico and Louisiana. Take care of her
litters until giving in and having her spayed. Wait for her to develop mammary
cancer. Wait for her to lose interest in peeing on all your stuff. Wait for her
shits to slowly shrink and harden. Wait for the cancer to spread to her lungs
and for her breathing to become labored. Wash her tumor while you wait. Wash
her tumor in sterilized water, then hydrogen peroxide, then Neosporin, but not
the kind with painkiller. This is because cats lick Neosporin off their wounds,
which is good, unless it has the painkiller, which is highly toxic to cats.
Watch her lick the Neosporin off her wounds, until her breathing is such that
she doesn’t feel up to doing so any more. Discuss her with the doctor. When the
doctor offers steroid shots, take them, once, because she is still eating and
still has her personality. Watch her appetite sharply decline in a week.
Comfort her as she wakes up, short of breath and afraid in the middle of the
night. Spend the night in the kitchen with her, whispering promises that you’ll
never, ever leave her and she’ll never be alone. Call the vet when they open,
11am because it’s Sunday. Make your 1:30 appointment, then wait for the Sunday
doctor because her last patient bit her and she’s gone home to clean up with
sterilized water, hydrogen peroxide, and Neosporin. Soothe the cat’s anger
after she is injected with sedative. Hold the cat’s head, rubbing her ear the
way she likes, while she receives her lethal injection, whispering those same
promises until the light leaves her eyes in an instant. When asked about
cremation, accept the service and reject the ashes, tell them to discard the
ashes wherever because cats are people but corpses aren’t and you just saw your
cat leave, you know she’s not there. When you sign the bill, you are either
clearheaded or impoverished enough to notice that you were not charged for the
cremation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><!--[endif]-->Repeat Step 5. Write one dead cat poem every
thirteen years. This general avoidance of poetry will help you live a long
time, enabling your heirs to release a single slim volume immediately upon your
own death, from breast cancer maybe or according to your specific needs. If you

fretting in pineal sheds dispensing<br />
an impatience physically blocked<br />
and numbered outplay vergers<br />
who reach their peaks around<br />
corners sly as the game horned<br />
its gloried top a bare nonchalance<br />
with steaming vigor discharging<br />
its drift below their going rate</span><br />

fetter that prevents us selling uranium, improving trade links, or teaching
more Mandarin. This is an act of self-indulgence which highlights the need for
ongoing reform in the next two to three hours. Communities in
particularly—based on past experience—vulnerable areas are being advised to
move into designated target areas. Light rail could be a pivotal issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Maine, New England. Anxious. Months of cupped hands, handled. Charged. A tree
of gathered, flower. Figures. Bury your face. A universal custom. Flags, enough
to form a sea. Tongue, meet pebble. Water, broke. How often does a poem. In
tiny house, a town, a town, a trestle. Deep drop of generations, yard. Some
qualities are effortless. French and German Huguenots. Can’t subject an
offence. Years of so-called civilization. Miserable, miserable. Scuffmarks.
Unrelated lilac progress. Disjunct; foresworn to some stout parchment. Paper,
ornamental script, a seal. Draw beeswax, lilt. The pleasures of the human body,
hid. Suppress, suppress. Incorrectly read the signs. Ancestors, jabber. Chapter
X, if weather permits. A draft, a sketch, a windowsill of dead flies swept.
Rebuffed. Unpassage, mouth. When we say the name, and. And. A nickname, west.
Abandoned. Then we turned a deficit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
