the heart of the afternoon sun in the garden tomatoes
maybe there is no cure the glint of beer cans in the prairie rehab*
*refers to a prairie restoration site along I-270.
today's version of a salem witch hunt the slaughter of wolves by helicopter
the shawl fold I make another penguin that can't fly away from its troubles
halloween costumes in august as if the stuff in our food isn't scary enough
better than google the green o's of grapes
the late august hum of a hummer around the trumpet vine
evening phone call a tension headache stronger than my patience
as though they once held a newspaper the bananas turning black
a sunny-side down economy with over a billion eggs recalled
clearing out last night's storm the morning buzz of chainsaws
going home the squirrel taking up half of a one-lane bridge
another rise in the unemployment rate giving US more time to answer polls about President Obama
retiring early the frayed blanket seems to know what kind of day it's been
a pronunciation of "el reloj" without much time to emphasize the 'h' in hurry
as though I needed a second opinion the moon shedding some light on my insomnia
Love is being stupid together.
~ Paul Valery (1871-1945)
stored somewhere in the tupperware of my gray matter neuroplasticity
in the hell's kitchen of mother nature it's the heat and the humidity
image of the perseid meteors the photography tips don't say anything about the clouds
outdoor concert each cell phone has its own ringtone
one foot on the shovel last year's dirt mixes with this year's
"It's easy to lose something in a world where anything is possible."
~Cindy Tebo
like animated chess players the night moves of crickets
"Every morning between 9 and 12, I go to my room and sit before a piece of paper. Many times, I just sit for three hours with no ideas coming to me. But I know one thing. If an idea does come between 9 and 12, I am there ready for it."
~ Flannery O'Connor
spending my tax-free weekend with a book from the library
barely dawn and I've already misquoted myself
"Of course the government and the newspapers lie. But in a democracy, they're not the same lies."
~Steve Jackson
"Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop."
~ Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
the summer heat returns with the US vs Wikileaks
worth more than gold or silver the sight of a gray wolf roaming the rockies
bp exit strategy a little mud and cement and we're outta here
unregulated airspace almost anything that flies drawn to the bee balm
space quakes something else my homeowner's insurance won't cover
some trick of morning light lets the aging birdhouse change back into a tree
beginning of august the wall calendar looking like someone zapped it in the microwave
