IN A NEST








In a nest
I want to sleep
Rough your voice in the room
I can see my lazy will to answer
No more views out of that circle

In a nest
I swear
because my face goes red
And weeps the tiger inside
Rich is the afternoon
under my shoes

The veil of a mist comes down
from the hills

Your bi… Continue

On Opening a Small Restuarant

On Opening a Small Restaurant

Some believe man's world is built on survival. I say it is built on folly. The efficiency manager had been brought in from Dallas, is "highly professional," stands about and scrutinizes. The night cook says this turkey will get nothing done either but may last into the winter as he should impress Brandon when winter picks business up. The first night the efficiency manager could think of nothing so ended the shift with decision all male wait people would be fired a… Continue

The Tortilla Hike

The Tortilla Hike

Take me to your heathen
and should I take their wine
I shall lend me yours
and take them thine


One of the funniest things I have seen Ned do is stuff his comb between his lips and teeth while we crossed on the wrong light of a heavily crowded San Francisco intersection, and as the policeman directing the crowd from that side of the street we left blew his whistle, Ned whipped his rubber-lipped out-of-this-world grin at him just long enough for him to plainly see it before we… Continue

Fantastic, that. Really. really liked it.

thank you Rajah. You have spoken eloquently and wisely and have expressed far better what I was trying to say. I dislike religious (as well as other forms) of intolerance. I don't approve of it when it's directed at ony race or creed. Never have, ...

p.s. I saw the movie "Public Enemies" this weekend and thought, "Hey, that's us." Outcasts. Outlaws. Literary desperadoes. J. Edgar Hoover represented the "better" people, while John Dillinger and his friends were being squeezed out by a society w...
OOh, that looks good. I'll dig deeper when the hangover wears off.

Miss Tyler, I think what Miss Lord is saying is that your poem, whether intentionally or not is likely to cause great offence to a large number of people who bear you no personal ill-will but whom you appear to wish to pigeon hole as 'freaks' bec...

Regrette meaning regret okay--point taken. Now then--as to your languge with regard to Jesus, I am appalled, so TSK! And TSK! again! and may I say in 'pissing' off Jesus freaks, you also offend many other people, who are neither Jesus freaks nor t...

One more thing, if you'll permit me: Intent (as your expressed intent in that poem) is sometimes not enough to prevent offense, truly.
No. That is London.

In this post I want to talk to you about stigma and discrimination. These are just words, but they carry the power to destroy lives. Stigma is a negative attitude toward any given characteristic of a person. This is often a broad and community is...
anne tyler commented on anne tyler's blog post 'Regret'yesterday
Heather is insufferable. I do not mean to engage her. To think by any stretch of the imagination that one could not deduce regrette means regret is either pure stupidity or she is trying to imply the level she imagines my stupidity to reach. And t...

By JCS These flowers that cringe with the awakening hours, colors drift and bring the showers, I live like light in the vase of your embracing arms. Rain drops fall upon my gentle songs as they remove the doubt’s of your karmic purposes. I leave ...
