This Just In

from The New York Post, April 29, 2008 [by-line Neil Graves]:

"A student at [NYU] found three razor blades in a muffin that had been left on a classroom desk.

" School officials said a professor had forgotten to remove the pastry, which had been used to illustrate a class on existentialism."

Challenge: Can anyone think of how three razor blades in a muffin can "illustrate a class on existentialism"?

Radio

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark

from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
