Justice

No justice ’round here
No fairness or equity
Only exclusion


Life ain’t fair, pardner
Pull up your big girl britches
No whining allowed.


This brave new world lacks
Compassion and forgiveness
Callous survival

Snapshot #119

If I were a cabbage, I’d want to be just like this gorgeous magenta one. I call this, “What’s Next? Ornamental Onions?”

When Love Hangs Around

Impossible, she thought, that decades later the love still held. No one had ever cared for

Her this long and this well. Surprised after the first year when he still woke up beside 

Her. Didn’t he know she had so little to give in the way of affection? And yet he mined

Every modicum of goodness, prying tiny pieces and holding them beneath a magnifying

Glass until they caught fire and everyone had to acknowledge their presence. Even her.
