Deb - Stupidity - what to say... got to be all about fear of the unknown... knowing is the game changer.

Day 17

   

I wanted my Daddy

to tell me

everything was alright

 

Rather than telling me

how to do

everything right

[Tracy Mitchell]

Ah -- the distinction.

The distinction I most strongly recall learning from my father was the difference between pile and stack.

4/17 poem

End Game

Remember,
once you were good
for nothing—

now every day seems
to be all of them.

How Sarah Palin Ruined the Wink

She straddled a balloon perched on an anvil
or a flying goose– tracking from the sky,
the edges of everything ran down the page.

Her skirt was red, her lips were warm:
your kisses are wasted on me, she said–
the edges of everything ran down the page.

Far from apples, or planets or nodding heads,
a duck falls, a dog runs, a small general
in a red helmet watches from a distance: snow

or sleet dissolves whatever lucidity
there might have been – life used to make sense.

Well said, well paged... it's all about the lipstick
