For years 1st Amendmt court decisions have bugged me b/c the rationale for free speech goes like this: political debates must be protected to foster free exchange of ideas so citizens can have their opinions heard in a democracy. That's fine, but what about surreal or meaningless speech? Is it safe?

Did you ever use finger? I didn't realize this old status-check protocol from the pre-web was still active! A sheaf of my poems began as finger .plans from 1993-1995...12 appeared in my 2014 book Eyes & Roots (see example attached). en.andros.dev/blog/54572bc...

Text reads:
"from Finger Plans:
Epigraph
As you travel in a foreign country, alone,
am I not you? Are you not here,
in blue light, penetrated by voices?
You are me."

My history with this Bible verse goes back to anxious convos w/my fundy pastor in the late 1970s. I don't think he had any idea & gave no real answer. Dolly picked exactly the key questions—and stuck the landing in answering them! Truly she was a treasure.
