It is true that living things long for spring. With every thaw of a few days, buds appear on branches.
song birds yearn for spring
form dry-grass nests at the thaw
weave warmth with skilled beaks

Back then, it was fun.
Today, I am ashamed to remember R. Kelly headlined the very first stadium-arena megaconcert I attended in my life. In the mid-1990s, one of my best friends drove a few of us from our small Illinois town up to Chicago for the performance everyone back home was so excited we were going to. We kids navigated through the unfamiliar traffic and parking gridlocks, our first experiences with the big city events we would come to know well in adulthood. We figured out the maze of ticket booths, concession stands and twenty thousand seats- all in total contrast to our reality of our hometown’s welcoming little cultural center.

Well written and well done.
Once in the mirror I saw

Now, I live and breath…
in vivid technicolor.

All of us will die
Congregation of the dead
All of us know it

The wicked don’t care
about the rights of the poor,
but good people do.
