the measuring tape

sultry day
peaches packed at the bottom
of the grocery bag

 

 

 

 

 

 

summer solstice
the measuring tape reels back
into its case

the folded wings
of a damselfly

tiny checkAn op/ed worth musing over: Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff is a

bit put off by America’sshaky relationship between fact and faction. (NYT,

The Interactive Truth, June 15, 2005):


“Facts seem important. Facts have gravitas. But the illusion

of facts will suffice.”

has apparently decided not to show us the results of his online poll question —

“Should the United States Congress exercise veto power over Supreme Court

decisions?”  I’d love to know why not.

  3. 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.
