You rulers make decisions based on bribes;
you priests teach God’s laws only for a price;
you prophets won’t prophesy unless you are paid.
Yet all of you claim to depend on the Lord.
“No harm can come to us,” you say,
“for the Lord is here among us.”

Without these words,
our beloved megastores would be
smaller
than
my closet
I realize that not all imported items
equal slavery and sweatshops
but how can we be sure?

I miss summer.
In a way I can taste.
I miss how life changed at the end of the school year.
Swimming.
I miss the long break.
I miss being a nanny.
I miss my girls.

If you were a stuffed animal, which stuffed animal would you want to be, and why?

Boredom is really quite extraordinary. This non-entity has the power to slow time to a stand-still, make a full stomach hungry, and provoke excitement at the slightest glimmer of brain stimuli.
Help.

You try to win more than you lose.”
I heard someone say this today.
I think I don’t agree.
We are asked to show up, go out on a limb, be willing, die.
That request doesn’t come with the assurance, or even the hope, of winning.
I think if we’re doing this life thing right, we’ll be ok with losing.

Trees are green with life
Air is cool and bright
I love spring
more than anything
It melts away the strife
Of winter past
Oh, how it did last
And now I am a wife
Take that, Emerson!
