Tens of thousands of well-meaning citizens will be pouring into the city today from their tony suburbs, gated communities, and very exclusive gentrified neighborhoods to make a political statement. Later they will return to safe homogeneity and peace. #familiesbelongtogethermarch
Granted immigration is a hot button issue, with multiple dimensions, on any of which reasonable people can disagree. I have friends & associates at the DC march. But I doubt my co-op association will be voting to set aside apartments here for asylum seekers who entered illegally.
Does that put a fine enough point on it?

1) I tried to sit out on August Postcard Poetry Month. Needed to give that part of my brain a month of rest. Then Aretha died and I wrote a poem for her in spite of my plans. Today I am reviewing haiku from previous Augusts. Walk with me.
2) First line has five beats.
But isn’t that Japanese?
Heck! Translation fails.

#SundayHaiku
3) Poesia-me.
Romance me. Make me a rhyme.
Let me be the poem.

The Day Lady Died
BY FRANK O'HARA

It is 12:20 in New York a Friday
three days after Bastille day, yes
it is 1959 and I go get a shoeshine
because I will get off the 4:19 in Easthampton
at 7:15 and then go straight to dinner
and I don’t know the people who will feed me
I walk up the muggy street beginning to sun
and have a hamburger and a malted and buy
an ugly NEW WORLD WRITING to see what the poets
in Ghana are doing these days
I go on to the bank
and Miss Stillwagon (first name Linda I once heard)
doesn’t even look up my balance for once in her life
and in the GOLDEN GRIFFIN I get a little Verlaine
for Patsy with drawings by Bonnard although I do

Anarchy, by Elihu Vedder, can be found in a small foyer at the entrance to the main reading room of the Library of Congress. Look very closely. She's standing on a scrolled document. It has become a foot mat. It is the Constitution.
Look again. There is a burning document in her right hand. Might it be the Bill of Rights? Her left hand holds a chalice. God only knows what she's drinking.
We live in crucial times. But let's remember that people, citizens, patriots made the ultimate sacrifice to create and preserve these words, these written records. I, for one, one out of many, wish to honor and revere that sacrifice.

There is something very weird, very strange about this reported Trump tape. The MSM is all over it, including FOX, which leads me to believe it is nothing but a distraction. The question is, what are we being distracted from? What would “they” rather we not see?
Let’s be rational here. It’s an illegally produced tape that was illegally acquired. So it will ever hold up in any court. Plus it was about an event that happened 12 years ago. What is REALLY happening here?
Whenever all the networks agree to report on something silly like this, you can automatically assume it is a distraction. But what are “they” trying to distract us from? What is it they don’t want us to see? Let us reason this out together.

Events of this week are making me re-think the 2nd secret of Fatima (my Portuguese and Catholic friends will know what I'm talking about). More on this in connected tweets to come. In the interim, check it out for your self. #2ndSecretofFatima
catholicism.org/russia-convers…
"The Mother of God, in 1929, forecast to Sr. Lucy, the Fatima seer, that if Russia were consecrated to her Immaculate Heart by the Pope and the world’s bishops in union with him, it would be converted."
"Ever since then, faithful Catholics have prayed for this as a precondition to promised world peace. However, the immediate object of their prayer, the conversion of Russia, might better be considered the country’s reconversion."

A tweet-storm of the #DeclarationOfIndependence, July 4, 1776. Part Two.
establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
