Grand Avenue
My wife and I were jogging, like we do every morning. Down Mission,
left
at Trader Joe's, then up Grand Avenue and past the stately houses we
will
never be able to afford. We'd just turned the corner by Senor Fish,
scattering
a flock of pigeons strutting their stuff. One of them took off
late, veered
right into the path of a silver Lexus, then lay against the curb
beating his
one good wing like he was trying to put out a fire. My wife asked
me to, for
God's sake, do something, so I turned the delicate head clockwise
until I
heard a click. Then darkness poured out of the small safe of his
body. That
is when I realized I used to merely love my wife. Now I would kill
for her.

Family news
Grand-daughter Grace Kari is
getting hitched to longtime boyfriend/love.
They were Wasilla Alaska high schoolmates
and now live in Missoula Montana
pursuing their music and photo work.
Grace set up this picture of herself being proposed to by Alex

so customary in her taken pictures.
Great work
and good luck

Downtown is a carousel
Architects eventually of towns
Aboriginals at first laid it out as trodden pathways
through forested land like spokes in a wheel
a merry go round to the trading posts
For me and others it is still a carousel
where we go round and round -
this downtown that we love so much
is like a Rogers
The fairies in their buttercup blooms
threaded to a colorful
but hallucinogenic mushroom
live dreamy lives
and everybody gets along
in the dark.
live dreamy lives
and everybody gets along
in the dark.
