Micro-Bullets

A few weeks ago I stopped 
smoking pot as an experiment. 
Easier than I thought-
I’ve had practice. Depth 
of feeling starts coming back 
like micro-bullets to the cranium 
so invisible to the naked eye that
every corner shields a perpetrator. 
Part of me likes it, this blitz of feeling 
because it turns out I’m masochistic

Is where we put the milky tea.
In the Micro
To make it hot as it can be.

and every word striking its mark

being sold on the notion

IN A TIME OF MICRO-IDENTITIES

At my Unitarian Universalist Society 
no one is Jane Doe or Jack Spratt anymore!
A person being introduced or referenced for their 
political, social or spiritual wisdom, their positive
impact on business, industry, education or community, 
inter-faith connectivity or even their potential for
simple friendship and warmth, must be presented and 
pre-validated by their
