2007 Dodge Ram SRT10 "This truck could be more politically incorrect only if it ran on whale oil and panda tears. "

A Prairie Home Companion from American Public Media: "The Mexican migrants are living the lives of our ancestors and we know it. Lives of hard work, outside the mainstream, lives that would feel hopeless except for powerful family loyalty and faith. So we have some empathy for these dark mysterious figures in our midst."

What a howlee learned in Hawaii 2006.

My son sent me home with a couple
of hundred to deposit for his
dream of an apartment
with friends.

I returned to much more
however my dream is still
hiding around the corner.

The tarrot lady asked
me for a hug and
I smelled her hair.

The sarong brushed my ankles
keeping away mosquitoes.

The sun exposes and darkens
my skin.

Maw, Maw...How tall was that cliff
I jumped from....120 feet.

Hey Pa....wha?

Man in Space
by Billy Collins


All you have to do is listen to the way a man
sometimes talks to his wife at a table of people
and notice how intent he is on making his point
even though her lower lip is beginning to quiver,


and you will know why the women in science
fiction movies who inhabit a planet of their own
are not pictured making a salad or reading a magazine
when the men from earth arrive in their rocket,


why they are always standing in a semicircle
with their arms folded, their bare legs set apart,
their breasts protected by hard metal disks.
