Verse – Ten and Twelve
The high-caffeine pop was a mistake…
but when the older asked for it,
the younger had to have it, too.
The ping-pong chatter natter
never stopped. Good-natured,
but louder and shriller (I turned down,
then took out my hearing aids…)
Day 5 of our week caring for
the grand-kids. Their parents
love going to Burning Man–
what’s temporary noise
in the service of Art?

Looks like the glitch was taking a break this time. All systems apparently “go.”

Glad the Wicked Glictch of the West was on break. 🙂 I’m finishing the piece John asked for yesterday re: Syria.

I just constructed a test reply to see if the glitch is gone. It’s a different one this time, saying my reply couldn’t be posted. I’ll try again. (Hmm — “The Glitch is Gone,” Sounds like a song title. I don’t think the problem is with your blog. It seems to be generic. Anyway. Here goes.
