Who taught us that there are only
196 kinds of people
because there are 196 countries?
We're all one earthquake, one civil cry
short of becoming refugees
and that speaks a lot about the fault lines
under our own democracies...."
"Go Back to Your Own Country!"

I almost didn't link what I posted today. But the prose is poetic, and it contains a haiku, and a quote (I stole) from Paul, and it's about words... So, I liked it.
ReplyDelete*linked it* not "liked it", although I do like it. :-D

Such an impassioned performance for our times.. I am fascinated by the way their hands speak too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, friends. Some of you read my link in the Pantry on Sunday. Sharing my wild thing poem. I miss my boy. And Jasmine, Lukey, and all the other furry buddies I have lost. But when one has loved a wild thing, one's heart is never the same again.
ReplyDeleteIt finally rained here. Nice weather for Toads!
ReplyDeleteI linked a poem I wrote yesterday for a photo prompt.
ReplyDeleteHOT here. Even the nights. I posted a poem I've had swimming around in my head for a couple of weeks.
