LOOK AT YOURSELF AFTER WATCHING THIS (Nick Vujicic)

What an amazing man -
truly inspiring and full of life.  What if we all lived life this fully?

I did not suffer from such things -

our house was never that clean or tidy. Growing up with my grandparents I learned to live with stuff and dust. Both quite interesting at times.

On Poet's.org today:


Cleanliness is next to godliness
by Nin Andrews

Grandma always said.
Most days she met me at the screen door
with a feather duster
or our new Electrolux vacuum,
the hose sucking my blouse.
She said she liked her girls clean.
She said I was coated
with dog hairs, horse hairs,
and God only knows what all else.
Fixing me like a flower bouquet,
tucking in my blouse, fluffing my bangs
and adjusting my barrettes,
she'd stare me down just to let me know
I was allowed in only if she said so.

Dream Poem

From Segue, Vol. 4, 2005:

Going Under

   Rain outside.

Breath, a steady tide

      beneath a red woolen sea.

   I am towed below

each exhale an ocean/

      sigh over sand:  

   Ah—hush, you breathe/say, stay

your reading/writing, slide

         into the nether

   world of surf.  Explore  

                                  the depths of sleep, strange

      reef of dreaming.

   Three in the morning

 is coral: touch it

and it cuts.
