(Punxsutawney Pt 3)
Brass band brashness boldly bothering,
shatter my soothing ebb and flow.
Ground, earthquaking, swallows my rhythms,
peace broken, I emerge to claim the damned spring.

(Punxsutawney Pt 2)
Endless hours of demon daylight
at last chased by the broom of lovely dusk.
Eyes unsquinted, again swaddled in softness
sinking somber limbs relaxed for slumber
and sleepy mind unlocked to dream.

Thanks for this! I love the vibe of connecting with people about their everyday lives (and I, too, have a laundry poem.)

Or donors who are losing staff...

Yeah, what was all that in "the address" about "Freedom of Speech is BACK!"

I'll wait.

It ain't hard. Just close the Social Security "donut hole" and tax millionaires at the same rate that they tax soldiers, plumbers, teachers, and truck drivers.

Why do we have to pay the tax on 100% of our income but they don't?

Social Security helps ensure that our elders can live with dignity.

But I will break out my blue and yellow to wear as I watch.

As much as I LOATHE what is going on, a walkout would give EXACTLY THE GOAL--to shut out those who do not agree. To be mindful is to be informed. Let's break out the Tupperware for the word vomit they will have front and center AFTER.
