Have You Noticed
Have you noticed that there are fewer butterflies than there used to be? I am missing them.

Thoughts About Wearing a Sari
It is my understanding that unless I wear a sari, I will not be able to go into some of the places that are on the itinerary for the trip to India I will be joining. “Just think of it as playing dress-up,” suggested my sister when I told her the idea of wearing a sari perturbs me. It is not just feeling strange in foreign dress and having to expose that vulnerable fold of flesh at the waist (I have never even owned a bikini because of my discomfort in exposing my waist). What is unsettling me is that to witness what the men can witness while wearing comfortable clothing, the women must agree to wear confining, complicated, and cumbersome clothes. And the sari has come for centuries with the expectation that the woman demurely follows behind doing what she is told by the designated man.

Logically similar in kind to the t-shirt ptoclamation that “it’s all good.”

Morning Clouds
Street light
And steeple
Jutting upwards
Taking my eye
Into the sky.
Clouds letting
Me look straight
Into the sun.

On the bulletin board next to the copy machine. Would I have noticed it if the machine had not needed five minutes to recover from stand-by mode?

Hot Pavement, Discarded Gum, Lucky Penny
I have never understood why so many people spit out chewed gum onto the street. This old wad caught a lucky penny.
