Wonders




Wonders

and how they
never cease
like the best
geysers
fair to middling
rivers
like, let’s say
promises

Anybody loving
anybody
is a kind of
wonder
to say
nothing
of you
loving me

To say
nothing at all
of miracles

Better Prescription


I've got some powerful new glasses which have allowed me to see things that seem to have gone unnoticed in the past.  For instance, I took a cursory glance at the Ten Commandments and saw a footnote in fine print that I hadn't been aware of at all:

VI.
Thou shalt not kill.*

* Except if thou shalt happen to possess drones. Then it's way cool.



"Democracy as law is a fight for every day. If you don't fight for that, it’s just a piece of paper."
