Calaya,
The symbol thingies are what your machine has substituted for (mostly)
quotation marks. Are you using a Mac?

Hi Christina,
there's a weirdness in here, i think, and i'm
uncertain...is my puter still whacked? what are these
symbol thingies? Oh, well, guessing, as i read, that
whatever they are there are no "missing" words:
I like the work. I can hear the "music," I LOVE the
title, really like the movement & think the last line
howls.If there are nits I've missed 'em.
thanks for the good read
later

Still Life with Music
(dedicated to my landlord, the Church
Commissioners)
â?~Count us,â?T whisper leaping sheep
on the duvet cover, â?~â?~Count us,
count us again...â?T A frog snoozes on
the sill;
a plastic star mutates: red to violet
to luminous blue glows on the Buddha ---
as if you could wish away the shadow
of builders legs through thin blinds, or
planks
and poles and mesh. â?~Bugger
meditationâ?T
roar the nine inch circular masonry drill
bits
as they bore pipe holes through brickwork
and the blokes behind them holler fresh
words
to make the children giggle: a shit here,
a fuck there, a Jesus motherâ?¦ muffled
in a swirl of red dust. Against all
odds,
the shepherd in the Chagall still sleeps
on the etched hillside, crook loose in
his hand,
hat fallen from his bald head and in the
foreground
the wolf has become the shepherd.
