Coincidences undeniably imply meaning. I am rereading Hart Crane.I notice the date On which he stepped off that boat Was April 26.Tomorrow is April 26.The year of his suicide was 1932.I was four. I am now fifty-one. One undeniable implication in this case then Is that the year, today, Is 1979.Afterward, Crane’s mother scrubbed floors. Eventually, I may or may not Jump overboard. Are there questions? .David Markson
