Snow is falling here in Cottonwood. Earlier I had made up my mind to drive to the Village of Oak Creek to retrieve a CD a friend had burned for me, which I’d foolishly left in my drawer at work and forgotten to take home. (In my defense, I’d had an unexpected 12-hour shift…) But the falling snow convinces me, with little experience driving on snowy roads, to stay in the warm and cozy. I’ll get the CD tomorrow, and put it in the truck before my shift begins.

The moral of this non-story is that sometimes the best thing to do is no thing at all. Thus this page:

001

Now let us be quite candid
Uplift & have & hold
Then we’ll be even-handed
Hubraics countermanded
It does no good to scold
Nonaction is an unflipped coin
Gong yet unbashed an unboinged boing

Armistice words:

Across the world, conflict’s rife
Riots, war–devalued life.
Mission: Vengeance–plan: Survival
Instant Grievance–woes archival.
Sighing on
The Widow’s Walk
In despair, the Loved Ones knock
Cautiously on doors with Hope
Ever seeking Peace with Scope

Soldiery words:

Sacrifice and valor
Often lead to death
Lose a son or pal, or
Dad–tears wrack your breath
It’s a tragic thing, yet
Every age has Fallen
Rights and Freedom we get,
Yes, and Grief to haul in.
