HAPPINESS is


i can bear the heat(because there is an alternative
Friends who must deal with cold have none..
the loss @funerals is a Grand Canyon.
My sister marvels at the speed of leaving
(it is the age we are -to see our elders departing
and those too young speeding fast past all time limitings
i think of homeless under bridges
subject to the heat of APD.   i carry water like Aquarius
it is never enough for those in need
We watch the headlines in other countries-
turmoil /killing of innocents.This form of heat is oppressive
Oppression depresses those who would be sweet
Some fly for holidays away from sun-
Seattle,New Mexico.Portland,Oregon
I do not mind a little interrogation
Life always begins with an exclamation
Often ends with a question?
