Bob Dombrowski: A DELICATE MEMBRANE [The Struggle with Time] (GB Art Co, 805 6th Avenue, NYC, 2001) 4.75x6.5\" no price.; 20pp w\/18 color illustrations by the author (designed on a MAC; printed on an Epson printer at Dombrowski\/Petruska Studios, NYC 20001)

Perfect, Shelleyian poetry once again appears, where & when most acutely needed. This small, green-covered handbook, recently printed less than 5 minutes away from the World Trade Center in New York City, proposes & pleads for an understanding of Time that is, temporarily, for many, still in agonized suspension. Readers will find, buried within it, many clear messages from a clearly necessary future:

Time stands in our eyes,

Like a filtered lens, or a pinhole eyeglass.

We see only in leveled sequence.

In chaos, there is no sequence.

Chaos opens like a view from the sky.

Momentarily unlimited, desperate lungs fill

With the freshness of unmediated sensation.

Self and time - interwoven -

One requiring the creation of the other.

A prisoner pleading for his guard.

A hatred requiring an enemy.

A property requiring a fence.

Antagonists.

Always at the brink; at the source.

Yet neither victory nor defeat ever actually occurs.

And always we are participants.
