ADVANTAGES OF LIVING ALONE
The older I get the more I like
control of my remote, the sacred
silence, no one knocking me
out of a dream balloon when i'm
sleeping, my papers where they
were when i come back into
a room, not having
to go into another room because
of a once a month attack of
flatulence, no one telling
me when the dishes should be done,
not having to go to relative
dinners with those with whom i have nothing
in common
etc.
BASRA FOUNTAINS
God of all beings, One God, called by many names,
give water now from fountains You awaken in the desert
to the 1 million of Basra. Never again
allow war against Your children in any nation...
for it is not just Moses, a white male Israeli,
but all Your children.. who have the power aligned with You
to bring water out of rocks..
and love out of stone hearts of invading governments.
