Thanks Dad

And M.L. came down from
the mountain with
three new commandments.

11-Don't take the kitchen utensils.
12-Respect the sacristy schedule.
13-Be kind.

If these are not obeyed you
will be smote by your children
getting inferior teachers
in middle school.

Dreams

I dream that I am at my Dad's house
as an adult
however
the house was like when I was a little
kid with no extension, garage and with
a small wisteria tree in the front yard.

His dreams are of the bakery where
he is working and his dad is there
standing silently.

Happy National Renewal and Reconciliation Day, 2009 !!!

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death, The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies, We, the people, must redeem The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers. The mountains and the endless plain-- All, all the stretch of these great green states-- And make America again!

---Langston Hughes---

Office Stag Beetle

There is a few inches of snow
outside my window at work.
The surface is frozen,
and gently pocked
like the pores of my skin
viewed close up.
Grass and sticks
poking through like stray
hairs.

Ladies, hide your daughters !


Thanks Marcy!
