This Is Feminist UsIt's peaceful here in my backyard.

with warm October sunlight.
I just read about a deadly gathering in Las Vegas.
Absence of sun-drenched peace.

A veteran,

Engaging the Family LaundryPerhaps infertile
incomplete
unwashed memories
of elder v younger,
Goliath v David,
crusades v communion
critical, yet part of chronic, events

AbnormaloriginalsSetting aside richly incorporated through homeless economies,
we have three political ways
to compare a population's internal status:
a. Aboriginal populations,
b. Immigrants--sometimes appearing as multiculturing creolic waves,
