BP Is Responsible!

Hmm.  That heading, in itself, is poetry.  But what’s worse:

“Take action against BP!  Sign the petition!”

-Sell your stinking BP shares.  Even if they’re in a mutual fund.
-Most crazy: stop driving a car.  Crazy, I know.

or needless tragedy
or insignificant
because our spill
was bigger, better
and closer to home?

Haiku for My Nearby Pool

Curling blue tendrils
Slither across the surface
My pool has no chairs

So speaketh the poet:

A summer day in Phoenix with a temperature reading below 100.  Clouds and fresh air.  Seems like the perfect day to start adding to the infinite pile of noise known as the Internet.
