peace haiku 44 - 50

sip peppermint tea
hot cold hot cold spread hot cold
frosty warm heart balm

if we're all divine
then to believe in yourself's
to believe in god

structure & focus
doesn't let you add fluff fluff
haiku will you write

not so much lotion
as the act of applying
that promotes good health

respect goes both ways
& with it dances kindness
when they're gone they're gone

if you try you can't
fight the inevitable
you can quit the dread

this blow you've dealt will
end up being the best thing
that could've happened

and third place was lowly 60% Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D)

computer's back

i got my computer back from the shop yesterday & after a few minor hassles and with the patient and relentlessly generous technolove from my friend Stefan The Computer Whisperer i managed to get most programs reinstalled and my email is back to good and my login and passwords are set for most of the places i go so all is well here in cyberland. it took a whole month and a LOT more money than i care to admit but what can ya do.
