Lecture

Tracy Kidder spoke.
Nice man, but a writer, not
a public speaker.

Creative class

with props to selfinterestandsympathy for this one 

I will often cite
Richard Florida’s ideas.
People stare blankly.

November

Thanksgiving creeps up
fast, like a turkey farmer
wielding a sharp axe.

New furnace

Hadn’t realized the
thermostat had to be set.
Freezing at 60.

Can’t sleep 9 – deep thoughts

Late night imparts great
wisdom to ideas which seem
silly in daylight.

Preparations

Brought in the ficus
tree. Fallen leaves fly about.
Wind whispers, “snowfall.”

Passage to India

I’m not here. I’m lost
in Varanasi. A world
Luke Storm opened wide.

Globalization

Site Meter tells me
my words are read in countries
I’ll never visit.

Blogosphere

If everybody
blogged, we could not go to war
knowing each other.

Comments

Random strangers in-
tersect with few words, then sep-
arate like pulled threads.
