from Magpie Tales


grateful for the bread
eases the gnawing
in my gut

hungry for food
hungry for assurances
hungry for salvation

don't care if this is
worse  or better than '29
it is bad enough for me

Love this, Joan...life ini the moment is all that matters to all things great and small...

I see the homeless men and women on our street corners, my heart breaks for them. Yes, it is bad.

PS, I've gone back to read many of your poems ... thoroughly enjoyable!

Worse or better than '29? It's better; believe me...
