Street art installations are fantastic. Currently, there are pianos scattered all over urban West Palm Beach. On the website Colossal, one can find infinite more examples of random things artists drop on public places to both discombobulate people and amuse them. For me, it's all a matter of delight. I think it's the best kind of art-- art that isn't cooped up in a gallery, but one that can make our boring concrete lives spontaneous and lovely!
If this could be a job, if I could solve my college-craze by choosing such a major, I will have found the summum bonum. If anyone is aware that this is in fact a possibility, call me. I'm desperate.
But because I have not yet found a suitable "Street Art Installation" or a job description of "Street Art Installation Specialist", I will resort to the channel that spurred my fame!
Well, my cranes' fame. With that said, ladies and gentlemen,
THE CRANES ARE BACK.

Crane-less: spiritual
'Your Glory, God'
I saw your
glory today
in all these
smiling
people like me
in the tears
and the ocean
I saw it in
them and myself
I saw it in the
sky
I saw it save
I saw it love
I saw it move
mountains inside us
I saw your
glory today.

Poetry contest: Kenyon Review
I recently discovered a neat contest-- the Patricia Grodd Poetry Prize for Young Writers. The contest is open to high school sophomores and juniors. The winning poem and the runner-ups' will be published in the Kenyon Review, and the winner will receive a full scholarship to Kenyon's Young Writers Workshop at Kenyon College in Ohio.
I attached the link so that you can enter if you're eligible (the submission deadline is November 30th), but I also attached it because the site contains the work of past winners. The poems are spectacular, and I encourage you to take a gander!
Just at this moment I am pondering which poem I'm going to submit, since, unfortunately, I can only submit one...
Oh, decisions...
