Chicago Catholic Grade School FireTwenty-four days before Christmas in 1958 there was a huge fire

Eighty-seven children and three nuns died in this fire.
One of the children who passed was Mary’s little sister, Karen.
She was to be a first grader forever.
Mary was in the fourth grade at the time.

Could conclude the beginnings preclusive

She then saw her wants and desires as need
The dophious status of who she sought
made me know that the complications was due
to her lack of reality.
She was bruised from the foolishness of ignorance
and refined in the need of belonging.
His dumbness proved that the...

Silent One in the SkiesThe morning is walking in its own pride
And courage is leaning by my side
The sun is rising up from the east
and fire is burning in the belly of the beast
Morning is shining all over the place
And the evening sun is melting their faces
Strange things are happening in town
And the multitude is moving around
With bags...

Apophasis NowApophasis is such a cool word.
Not to mention how it sounds
like a popping fist and fireworks,
though I wouldn’t dare suggest
I’ve ever blown things up
just for grins and giggles.
It’s cousin to praeteritio,
kissing cousin to paralepsis—

not to mention parasiopesis
which leaves the juiciest bits unsaid—
but don’t get me started on this.
Of course,...

That Canteen GuyJust a few days in, college felt new,
Chilling in the canteen with my unusual crew.
I saw a guy feeding pups with care,
And told my friend, “Yaar, ese bhi log hote hai.. it's rare!”
He was just another face,
A guy with a gentle grace.
We laughed it off and moved on from the scene,
Not knowing what that moment...
