Making the Connection

Image
Why is that   plug 4 inches from the socket?       Was it that small coincidence that set it off ? Maybe we should splice it with a piece of life,       Connect those missing kaleidoscopic dots. And by the way,       I do know about those consequences.      ( I read a lot)

New Fall Parking System

Image
Over and over New York traffic police have tried to manage ticketing with grace and accuracy. However, they have been constantly hampered by budgetary and aesthetic considerations. Multiple methods have been in place to solve these problems, but the most exciting is the new pilot YellowLeaf Study Project.   YellowLeaf simply models the wind, seasons and weather. As you can see, the vehicles that have been parked for sometime can be easily identified. Did you not respect Alternate Side of the Street Parking? You have been punked!

I went to school in the early morning, and there wasn’t a day gone by that worry didn’t nibble, nibble, nibble--nibbling at me with the voracious patience of a termite. School was awful but staying home was worse.   Oh I loved the stiff backyard smell of dry fall leaves; I loved an egg salad sandwich, alone on the porch.  But what was happening at school?
