Is this Any Way to Run A Business? Yeah, I Guess So......
'Is This the Way to Run A Business?'
The evolution of clerks in the mainstream American marketplace is a continuing mystery to me.
I used to feel at least a little bit important to the businesses I frequented. As if I mattered somehow to them.
That's still the case in a few places but more and more it's blatantly obvious that they don't care if I live or die just as long as they can collect my money and get me quickly out of their way. In fact, they often act as if… Continue

Heat-shiny asphalt
Streams past under the car wheels
And winds up behind.

A Confused Gardener Contemplates Planting by the Phases of the Moon
New moon, dark moon,
will my plants
blossom & bloom
if planted in mid-June?
Slim chance
(good cowboy name),
all the same,
give it a try,

It seems that a bunch of us on Facebook this morning were watching the same segment of CBS Sunday morning. They did a piece on the 50th Birthday of “To Kill A Mockingbird”, Harper Lee’s truly great American novel. What stuck with me most was the fact that Harper Lee not only… Continue

Second-hand Heart
I put my heart in a cardboard box
and taped it all around.
Put that sucker on the back of my bike
and took a ride downtown.
I stopped in at the pawn shop
to see how much I could get
But they said that they weren't ready
to take in used-up organs yet.
I rode on down to the second-hand store
to show it to Guinevere.
she said, "It looks like a real kind heart.
Sure,…

The asphalt still warm
In the dark against her back
As she roams the sky.

Your Input, Your City, Your Town
'Your Input'
What is a city's obligations to its residents? Whatever it can afford I suppose within the demands of said residents. When the residents don't voice any opinion its obligations are whatever the elected officials decide. You can go to any city council meeting anywhere, anytime and generally find only a handful of folks (if that) watching the proceedings. Unless of course there's a controversy stewing. Everyone wants to know about the controversy and some are quite… Continue
