Crows're hopping 'round
across burning ground.
Please soon end this summer affair!

Speaking in Tongues
I like speaking
To the sky, to the earth
To my dogs, and wife and kids.
It’s the sound of a babbling brook
Flowing in cascades and eddies
Rushing to the sea.
Of course such language of the heart
Is deeply encoded
In these hard, angular, abstract edges,
But those edges are in turn
Worn down, softened and smoothed
By the yielding force of the flow.
I like speaking
In whatever tongues
The world can show.

Gifts of Air and Water
A little more money,
and I could buy…
exactly what my kid wanted.
Yet I found,
that it may not be,
exactly what they needed.
For less, I could choose,
to get the best of usefulness.
For more, I could buy flagrantly useless.
The smile on my kids face,
may or may not be equally the same,
but the memory in my heart,
that I want to keep,
is very different.
I wish to teach a lesson,
of being a good steward.
I also wish to lavish my love.
The moment passes.
I do the right thing.
Thank you Lord.
Shop on.
"Okay, so, who we are — what we do is we help the wealthiest families in the U.S. get their kids into school. ... That they want guarantees, they want this thing done. They don't want to be messing around with this thing. And so they want in at certain schools. And I've created this side door in." — A witness who participated in the cheating scheme to a client in wiretapped call, cited in the affidavit*

Ducks line up behind Mommy
swimming all in a perfect row
Kids build sand castles
precariously balanced, just so
Red-and-white bobbers bob up and down
to the rhythm of fishermen's strings
Bronzed bodies gaze upwards, supine
sun-worshiping, midst other things...
Another endless, lazy summer's day
for a privileged nation, whose idle play
While in distant lands, far away
ghastly towers of war and famine sway...
Chocolate cake batter still on my tongue,
I rush outside as soon as I hear the clamor
It’s a hot summer day in the city
Fire hydrant busted, water rushing everywhere
No need for swim suits, its time to cool off
Mama keeps calling, take off your shoes!
The sun is bright, the news has spread
From blocks away, they come
It won’t last forever, everybody knows
Nothing to hear but high pitched squeals,
Arms flailing, heads drenched as we jump
No pools around here, this is it, liquid heaven
All too soon, the sirens are blaring
Kids scatter as laughter abates
Flashing lights call a halt to summer ecstasy
As I climb back up the fire escape
Mama yells, have fun? and the oven promises
Chocolate delights

Sun poures its hot rain.
It wades drinking away the race body heat,
beneath their feet as they walk the baking street.
Neighborhood kids play upon the streets
splashing in the muddy water.
No one silent,
their mingling voices,
squeal with joy and laughter
in the gushing waves of a fire hydrant
drenching their limbs, a treat to its coolness.

We're often on the water
and made sure our kids
were well trained
in water safety
two were Bronze Star ,
all had basic First Aid,
one plays in rapids
I carry around.
Now that they are
off on their own,
I've come to realize
that water currents
are the least
of their problems.
Cold air
Whipping around
Changing water
Into frozen ice lake
Where kids laugh and skate around
Holds beauty
