i like it too. and i just figured out that it's "devil's bargain" not "devil's cauldron"; it's weird to me that songs i've heard my whole life i can still mix the words up to. i mean i've *heard* the right words all along, but heard them as something they're not. how come? i bet wittgenstein somewhere has something to say about the triangular gap between memory, expectation, and actuality or something. steve?

steve, the way you write haikus resonates with me.
let's get drunk in the french quarter and write haikus about librarianship in, say, 72 hours.
lately i've been taken for some reason by a sort of found haiku, the chorus of "woodstock"
we are stardust we
are golden we are caught in
the devil's bargain
which, you know, is pretty corny. and wittgenstein probably 'raises the discourse' higher than "woodtstock" so i'm glad you got him out there first
demetri, corny or not, that is my favorite joni mitchell song.
