My madness find me on the George Washington Bridge
Resisting the urge to fly
Ten years ago
Like
Hart Crane
On USS Orizaba
Traveling from Vera Cruz
On teh Gulf Stream
April 27,1932,__
His supposed last words
To his sailor assassins
'Good-bye everyone."
Some other people prefer this ending. "Fuck you. I'll show you courage."
He hung his jacket on the railing and jumped overboard.
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Off the coast of Florida
Fcuk you ineded.__

Classic Poetic Dysleixa in honor of a poet lost at sea.

Big Weather on Agiocochook

This week California was pounded by a winter storm generated from distant ocean currents off the coast of Hawaii. Rain fell in torrents and ten feet of snow capped the High Sierras. At one point a meteorological observatory recorded Force 5 hurricane winds over 160 MPH.

Treacherous weather to be sure, however on April 12, 1932 the Mount Washington Observatory's anemometer registered a wind gust of 231 miles per hour.

A world record faster than Bentley's new Continental Speed.

The 62 year-old record was supposedly broken by a tropical cyclone striking Barrow Island off the coast of Western Australia.

As a New Englander I honor Agiocochook or The Place of the Concealed One.

And 1934.
