Poetry Around Town


The nicest places to walk these days are the alleys.

And because wishes are no more adequate alone than are thoughts and prayers, also continue to seek ways to serve to expand the opportunities for justice and joy for more.

What is bringing you joy?

I was not witness to the most abject poverty in India (both because of where I went and because of how I was guided). These makeshift, but semi-permanent shelters seen from the window of the bus made me think of the Occupy movement. They are nothing like those of Occupy and much of what Occupy is trying to warn against forgetting to care. And, oh yeah, McPherson Square is still occupied, though more and more uneasily.
