COLOSSAL CONUNDRUMS

This is an idea for Ken's next book cover.  The painting is called "City Island" and it's by Ellsworth Kelly (1958).

I've been reading Joshua Beckman's book of poetry called SHAKE (2006) and I don't want to give it back, even though I know I have to.  Why do I like it so much?  Because I like Joshua.  I think he's a Mensch and I think he's a good guy (same thing, probably).

Today the people I saw were hard at work.  They were using their hands and they were selling things and they were sitting in front of screens--tv screens and computer screens.  The people were happy working, or I should say, the people whose work made them happy were happy working.  As I was, working, making art, smiling, doing headstands, using my beloved paintbrushes to brush on wings of red paint.

Now I want to dream about sleeping on clouds of fluffy soft cotton.  Cotton so soft it feels like a baby's slipper, like a bunny's ear, like a baby's finger, like some bubbly bath bubbles.  Soft and cozy and clean and warm.  That's what I like.  Mmmm-hmmm.
