When the U.S. Government Tried to Replace Mexican Migrant Workers with High School Students.
I couldn’t figure out how to embed this, but if you click on the link below, you can read about this fiasco planned in the year I graduated from high school. How is it that I didn’t hear of it then? Lack of an internet, I suppose.
How to Spend a Birthday by Lee Herrick
A lovely poem sent to me by my friend Ken today:
How to Spend a Birthday
Launch Audio in a New Window
BY LEE HERRICK
Light a match. Watch the blue part
flare like a shocked piñata
from the beating
into the sky,
watch how fast thin
wood burns & turns toward the skin,
the olive-orange skin of your thumb
& let it burn, too.
Light a fire. Drown out the singing cats.
Let the drunken mariachis blaze their way,
streaking like crazed hyenas
over a brown hill, just underneath
a perfect birthday moon.

Beau Talks about the 300 Kids
Being watched by rooks.
I love this poem by Sarah Connor and want to share it with you.
Hard to feel alone
when you live near rooks -
observed as you leave the house,
walk up the lane,
take in the washing;
watched as you weed
or read
or call the kids in
from the field
behind the house.
They must know
the pattern of our days,
our noisy neighbours -
must mention to each other
that we are busy now,
bustling, hustling,
chatting by the car.
They know our hours,
know when we head home,
stream in, gather
from school and work,
from walking the beach,
they must see
the pathways we carve
in the air around us.
