Joshua Beckman made me think of handlebars this morning.
[Poem/
EARLY 1984
By Joshua Beckman, from A Guide for Making Fragments from Diaries, which was published in April by Wave Books.
Dad got a new sled for me and Randi. It's great.
My Aunt Arlene came, and she got me an art set. I like it a lot.
Sean came over and we played Monopoly. He won.
We had Chinese food. I had a great time.
I got my new handlebars. I like them a lot.
Today I went to the YMCA. Jeff and Colin came too. It was fun.
We went to my Grandpa and Grandma's house. It is in Florida.
We went to Clearwater beach. The water was cold.
I got to play Trivial Pursuit with my family. We had teams. My team won.
I went bike riding and saw an alligator.
We came home from Florida.
Today I was drawing and I had a lot of fun.
I rode my bike all day long. It was a lot of fun.
I saw my Aunt Libby and we had a picnic.
I went to art and I had a lot of fun.
I went to Hebrew School.
I hurt my ankle.
I met kids near my street. We rode bikes all day.

Been on a cocoa cup kick lately, & these marbled ones are my favorites from my last firing. Had some odds & ends of stained clays, bit of blue, a ball of brown, some green. Threw a little of each with plain stoneware. I like how the turns of the wheel threaded the colors through the white. #pottery❤️
