sultry day
peaches packed at the bottom
of the grocery bag
summer solstice
the measuring tape reels back
into its case
river rock —
the folded wings
of a damselfly
from nextdoor,
“go play outside!” —
a wasp skims our bedside lamp

An op/ed worth musing over: Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff is a
bit put off by America’sshaky relationship between fact and faction. (NYT,
“Facts seem important. Facts have gravitas. But the illusion
of facts will suffice.”
“Should the United States Congress exercise veto power over Supreme Court
decisions?” I’d love to know why not.

I’m always glad to hear from you, ed. Especially when you leave little haikai gems behind. I’m glad that I looked at the batch of 5 to see they were from you. Lately, there’s been a rash of Comment Spam from diet-pill and erectile dysfunction peddlers. Very annoying and far too time-consuming to remove.
I’d love to schmooze, but I’m trying — for the third day in a row — to finish a big post.
Keep those great baseball-ku coming.
