about my play
I am writing a pair of books about my play.

Play is “other” than “real” life—not more nor less it would seem—or it could be either, and by turns. Recall that “other” and “holy” are interchangeable. Recall that boys releasing pigs into the school house is play, especially when painting “1,” “2,” and “4” on the pigs’ sides!

A baby learning his toes
fingers them tastes them
bends them this way that
O could we flex so
learning our play!
