under the harvest moon
when the soft silver
drips shimmering
over the garden nights,
death, the gray mocker
comes and whispers to you
as a beautiful friend
who remembers.

hopeful.
to say that the detroit lions
have not played like a top tier team in a long time
is an understatement.
I found this display
in the middle of a big box hardware store
with no explanation
and loved the artistic statement it made.
this still somewhat hopeful
and ever loyal fan
has been waiting quite a long time for a win.
that is strong and that is funny.

disorientation.
how lucky are we that the future lawyers are to be offered this experience?

but the conscience of the whole of humanity.

usually recognize the voice of justice.”

the tipping point.
saw this in the early morning when walking downtown
I wonder about the story behind how it got there
was it a server at his/her limit
finally reaching the tipping point
throwing down the apron
tying them down
abandoning ship
hoping for
something better/different/new out there?
