We stand like Alice ABOVE
The rabbit hole, no time to
Think or to count to ten (or even
SEVEN), ready to be a brave DIVER
Into the unknown, RIVET all attention
On the retreating White Rabbit, as we
Jump:
Down
We
Go

Georg’ann

Steadily the rain fell,
giving a decent SCOUR
to the grunge of January.
Day one of February bright,
weather gives us a BREAK.
News does not. Today tariffs.
Marking shifts in anyway we can,
our REPLY to this, attempt humor.
Saying goodbye to produce,
we use a Mexican avocado
to make Tariff Toast, served
with Cafè Bustelo instant espresso.
As you say, each day a firehose
of despairing actions.
Surely he will RIVET us to disaster.
Still birds come to the feeder.
One of an infinity of pleasures.
