sunday morning with nina

comfort? when you watch
"when the levees broke" parts three
and four with a dog.

if you were like me
during katrina's news hype
you had no tv.

radio stories
painted pictures but not like
this. i'm stunned and shocked.

my hope is that in
times of trial that i show
my true dignity.

Vermont

Imagine a green
carpet covering the hills
shivering. Lovely.

~~~~~~~~

Ancient rocks guard the
trees and soldier the river
as we drive past them.

~~~~~~~~

My mind is cleared from
pollution as my eyes fall
on landscape sans ads.

~~~~~~~~

There can be no food
shortage where we have issues
with obesity.

Food choices must come
from local, healthy options
whene'er possible.

The balance in food
resources must be restored
for all to eat well.

marhaba!

alif, baa, taa, thaa, waaw...
these are the letters i know
it's a brand new script

my fav'rite letter
is nuun. It looks like the moon.
Round and beautiful.

car accident

the weekend started
well...bad. quick car accident.
my lower back feels bad.

oh well. work to be
done and people to see, you know.
jack bauer all sat/sun.

i wrote and sat in
the sun and played with girl twins
and was beat at chess

left my tastebuds humming, "MMMMMMMMMM"
friends and food and cats.

be learned and shared. other than

pakistan's party
